5. Operating Instructions

The GT Seat Add-On is designed for user-friendly adjustments to optimize your racing position.

  • Seat Recline: Locate the recline lever on the side of the seat. Pull the lever up to adjust the seat back angle. Release the lever to lock the seat in the desired position.
  • Seat Distance: Use the slider bar located under the front of the seat to adjust the seat's forward or backward position. Pull the lever to unlock, slide the seat to the desired distance, and release the lever to lock.
  • Wheel Stand Adjustments: For optimal positioning, you may also need to adjust the height and angle of your connected Next Level Racing Wheel Stand. Refer to your wheel stand's instruction manual for these adjustments.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your GT Seat Add-On.

  • Cleaning: Wipe down the seat fabric and leather trim with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all bolts, nuts, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose fasteners.
  • Moving Parts: Ensure seat sliders and recline mechanisms operate smoothly. If they become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied, avoiding contact with fabric.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your GT Seat Add-On, consider the following common solutions:

  • Instability: Ensure the seat add-on is correctly and securely attached to the wheel stand. Verify all bolts are tightened. Check that the wheel stand itself is stable on a level surface.
  • Difficulty Adjusting Seat: Check for any obstructions in the seat slider rails or recline mechanism. Ensure the levers are fully engaged or disengaged when attempting to adjust.
  • Squeaking Noises: Identify the source of the noise. It may be a loose bolt requiring tightening, or a moving part that could benefit from a small amount of lubricant.

For persistent issues, refer to the contact information in the Warranty and Support section.
