• Storage: When not in use, store the pedals in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cable Care: Avoid sharply bending or twisting the cables. Ensure they are not pinched or under tension to prevent damage.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your TFRP Rudder Pedals, consider the following steps:

• No Recognition by PC/Console:
  • Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the adapter box and the PC/console.
  • Try a different USB port.
  • On PC, check Device Manager to see if the device is listed. Reinstall drivers if necessary.
  • Restart your PC or console.
• Incorrect Axis Response:
  • Calibrate the pedals through your operating system's game controller settings (PC) or within the game's control options.
  • Ensure the latest drivers and firmware are installed.
  • If using T.A.R.G.E.T software, check your profile settings for any custom configurations that might be affecting performance.
• Physical Issues (e.g., sticking pedals):
  • Inspect the S.M.A.R.T rails for any obstructions or debris. Clean as per maintenance instructions.
  • Ensure the pedals are placed on a level surface.
