Maintenance
Regular maintenance will prolong the life and ensure the continued performance of your racing simulator cockpit:

If you encounter any issues with your Dardoo Racing Simulator Cockpit, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Instability: Ensure the cockpit is placed on a flat, level surface. Check that all assembly bolts are securely tightened. Verify that the rubber foot pads are properly installed and making full contact with the floor.
- Difficulty Adjusting: Check for any obstructions in the slide rails or adjustment mechanisms. Ensure the adjustment levers are fully disengaged before attempting to move components. Clean any debris from the rails.
- Squeaking Noises: Identify the source of the noise. It may be due to loose connections; tighten all bolts. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to moving parts if necessary, but avoid contact with the seat material.
