# Motor Setup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Motor Setup is used to test individual motors/servos (for example, to verify that motors spin in the correct direction).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
::: tip
|
||
|
|
These instructions apply to PX4 and to most vehicle types on ArduPilot. Vehicle-specific instructions are provided as sub-topics (e.g. [Motors Setup (ArduSub)](../setup_view/motors_ardusub.md)).

## Test Steps
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To test the motors:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Remove all propellers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
::: warning
|
||
|
|
You must remove props before activating the motors!
|
||

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. (_PX4-only_) Enable safety switch - if used.
|
||
|
|
3. Slide the switch to enable motor sliders (labeled: _Propellers are removed - Enable motor sliders_).
|
||
|
|
4. Adjust the individual sliders to spin the motors and confirm they spin in the correct direction.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
::: info
|
||
|
|
The motors only spin after you release the slider and will automatically stop spinning after 3 seconds.
