-Remove the plastic holder from the motherboard by pulling on the plastic stamp, then slide
the holder.
-Remove the gimbal connector from the motherboard.
-Unplug the micro coaxial wire from the motherboard.

-Remove the four rubbers gently: Parrot recommends you hold the motherboard during the
process, to stop rubbers from falling from their support. Once rubbers are removed, unplug
the GPS antenna which can be found on hidden face of the motherboard.
-Unstick the SD slot, then remove it by pulling it through the plastic structure’s hole.

-Pull on the bottom cover of each arm to remove them.
-Remove the two screws from the GPS cover (orange circle) then push on the button above
located the gimbal to remove the cover (red circle).

-Remove the screws closest to the center of the GPS card.
-Remove the screws holding the hinges: a screw can be found at each extremity of the GPS
card. Do not forget to remove screws from the bottom of the drone as well.
-Retract the arms towards the body of the drone before removing the black plastic holder of
each hinge.
-Push the lower side of each hinge to remove them.
-Caution: a washer will fall off from each hinge when removed, make sure that you do not
lose them.

-Remove the plastic part which holds antennas by pulling the clips on each side of the part.
-Unplug motors by pulling the connectors out of their sockets.
-Caution: Do not pull on the wires.
-Remove the arms carefully, one after the other: make sure that antenna cables do not get
stuck with other cables.

-Unplug the gimbal’s motor wire from the motor card.
It is easier to remove the Gimbal before removing the motor card
-Remove the four screws on the lower side of the Gimbal
-There is a rubber part with holes letting wires go through to connect it from the gimbal to
the motor card: the small hole is dedicated to the flex wire; the larger one is meant to
receive the micro coaxial wire.
-Remove the gimbal from the body.

ANAFI assembly and disassembly processes 12
-Remove the three screws from the motor card, two of them are visible once you remove the
plastic part between the gimbal and the motor card.
-Remove the motor card by pushing it slightly toward the bottom of the drone
-If you need to change the motor, remove both antennas and the reflector simultaneously.
Then, unscrew the three screws from under the motor to remove it and replace it.

Anafi assembly process
-Plug the ventilator to the motor card before putting the card back in its slot.
-Insert the motor card from the bottom of the drone.
-Screw the motor card to the center body.
-The LED wire and the ventilator must be placed between the motor card and the support (on
the right side, seen from the bottom).

-Position the rubber part back, next to the motor card (smaller hole on the top side).
Arms :
-Slide the motor wire inside the large hole of the top part of the arm.
-On the low part of the arm, insert simultaneously the antenna and the reflector in their
respective slots. You can let the antenna wire free for now.

-Slide the antenna wire and the motor wire inside the same hole, then assemble both parts of
the arm by clipping the top part inside the bottom part, then pushing the top part to the
bottom part.
-Put the screws back to stick the upper and bottom parts together.
-Insert arms in their dedicated slots on the central body and insert both antenna wire and
motor wire in the bottom part of the drone.

-Insert the other arm from the same side (there is no priority order between the front and
back arms).
--Insert the washer between the arms and make sure it is well centered (you can use a
screwdriver to align the washer through the hinge hole).
-Insert the top side hinge (the larger white part must be placed at the rear of the drone), and
make sure the hinge in completely inserted by pushing on it.
-Position the plastic holder on the lower part of the hinge with the larger extremity on the
rear side of the drone.
--Put the screws back on the larger extremities of the hinge (one on the top side; one on the
lower side).
--Repeat to install each arm.
--Position antenna wires toward the front of the drone and the motor wires toward the back
of the drone.

Motor wiring
-Front motor connectors are plugged on the rear side of the motor card; rear motor
connectors must be plugged on the front side of the card. Apply a torsion on the wires to
plug the rear motors on the card.
-Push wires gently toward the inside of the drone.
-Position the gimbal and slide wires through the rubber support (coaxial wire slides through
the large hole and flex cable through the small one). Pull the coaxial wire gently to keep
enough length to plug it.
-Screw the two screws on the front side of the gimbal before plugging the flex wire.

-Hold the drone with the gimbal oriented upward and position the first part of the motor
holder (the one with the holes). Then, position the other part of the support by clipping it
(the part including the antenna holders). The part with three slots must be on the right side
of the drone.
-Position the GPS card back and screw it; check that the antenna wire is not stuck. Position
the GPS cover back and screw it.
-To place the motherboard back correctly, start by plugging back the GPS antenna.

-Insert the micro SD PCB through the hole on the center body and press on it to stick it in the
dedicated slot.
-Position the motherboard back in place by placing it on the two rubbers of the front of the
drone, then on the two rubbers on the rear of the drone.
-Make sure antenna wires are above the LED wire and ventilator.
