Operating Instructions

Adjusting Rotation Angle:

The SV950 racing wheel supports two rotation angles: 270 degrees for quick, arcade-style racing and 900 degrees for more realistic simulation. A switch located on the wheel base allows you to toggle between these two modes.

  • To select 270° mode: Move the switch to the '270°' position.
  • To select 900° mode: Move the switch to the '900°' position.

Sensitivity Adjustment:

The wheel features three levels of sensitivity. Refer to your game's control settings for optimal in-game adjustment, or use the wheel's built-in sensitivity settings if available (consult the product's quick start guide for specific button combinations if not detailed here).

Using the Pedalboard:

The pedalboard includes an accelerator and a brake pedal. Ensure the pedalboard is placed on a stable surface, utilizing its anti-slip pads to prevent movement during intense gameplay.

Using Gear Shift Paddles:

The +/- gear shift paddles located behind the steering wheel allow for manual gear changes in compatible games. Press the right paddle for upshifts and the left paddle for downshifts.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the racing wheel and pedalboard. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
  • Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
  • Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the USB cables. Do not pull on the cables to disconnect the device.
