Foil Drive™ Motor Vibrating

Although uncommon, here are a few things to consider if you feel your motor isn't running smoothly.

1. Ensure both propeller blades aren’t damaged, even a small chip from the blade can cause a loss of balance and vibration. Both blades should flick out into the correct position.

2. Check there is no debris stuck in the blades, this can cause it to not extend fully.

3. Ensure the bolts securing the prop to the hub are not too tight. Over tightening stops them from folding out when you hit the throttle.

4. Ensure no metallic objects are stuck to the outer can of the motor.

5. Ensure motor can is spinning straight, a wobbly motor can mean bearing failure.

Ensure thorough cleaning is carried out after every use and regular maintenance is done to ensure your system is running at optimal performance for years to come.

NOTE: When placing the motor can/rotor back on the stator, you MUST use two hands to slowly guide it back on. Once the magnets grab, you must ensure the rotor doesn't slam against the stator otherwise you risk damaging your bearings.
