4. Setup and First Use

The GAN 15 Maglev Speed Cube comes pre-assembled and ready for use. Simply remove it from the packaging. For optimal performance, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the tuning options described in the 'Operating and Tuning' section.

5. Operating and Tuning

The GAN 15 Maglev features advanced tuning systems to customize the cube's feel and performance. This includes adjusting the center piece travel and spring tension, as well as the revolutionary magnet strength setting.

5.1. Understanding Maglev Technology

The GAN 15 Maglev utilizes magnetic repulsion instead of traditional springs to eliminate friction, providing an incredibly smooth and quiet turning experience. This system also allows layers to self-align up to 40 degrees with just a gentle push.

5.2. Adjusting Center Piece Travel and Spring Tension (GES V3 Structure)

The GAN 15 Maglev features the GES V3 structure with innovative safety clicks that securely lock the tuning plate. This system allows for precise adjustments to the cube's feel.

For a comprehensive guide on adjusting the center piece travel and spring tension across various GAN cube models, including the Maglev system, please refer to the official video tutorial below:

The video covers the following GES systems and their adjustments:

• Magnet nut + Spring System: Found in GAN i carry S, GAN i carry, GAN i3. Offers 3 levels of center piece travel and 3 levels of tension. Adjust by changing magnet nuts and springs.
• GES V3 System: Found in GAN251M line. Offers 2 levels of travel and 4 levels of tension. Adjust using the tuning tool to screw the nut flush with the face.
• GES+ System: Found in GAN356 M, GAN356 RS, GAN11 Air. Offers 2 levels of travel and 4 levels of tension. Adjust by pressing and rotating the proper nut until it snaps into the slots.
• GES Pro System: Found in GAN11 M Duo, GAN11 M pro, GAN356 XS. Offers 4 levels of travel and 6 levels of tension. Adjust travel by replacing and screwing the numerical tuning nut. Adjust tension by screwing the magnet nut counterclockwise.
• GES Pro+ System: Found in GAN356ME, GAN356 icarry 2, GAN12 M Leap. GAN356ME and GAN356 icarry 2 have 3 levels of travel and 4 of tension. GAN12 M Leap has 6 levels of travel and 6 of tension. Adjust travel by inserting the tuning tool and screwing the tuning nut clockwise. Adjust tension by screwing the magnet nut clockwise.
• Magnet GES System: Found in GAN12 Maglev, GAN13 Maglev, GAN14 Maglev, GAN15 Maglev. Offers 6 levels of travel and 6 levels of tension. Adjust travel by inserting the tuning tool and screwing the tuning nut clockwise. Adjust tension by screwing the magnet nut clockwise.
• Notch-Free Tuning: Found in GAN562M. Adjust by turning the screw clockwise with a Phillips screwdriver to shorten travel gradually.

For the GAN 15 Maglev, specifically, you will be using the Magnet GES System adjustments. This involves using the provided tuning tool to adjust the numerical tuning nuts for travel and the magnet nuts for tension. The video demonstrates these steps clearly.

6. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your GAN 15 Maglev Speed Cube, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the cube's surfaces with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Lubrication: While the Maglev system reduces friction, occasional lubrication with a high-quality speed cube lubricant can further enhance smoothness. Apply a small amount to the internal contact points and turn the cube to distribute.
• Storage: Store your cube in the provided GAN Box or cube bag to protect it from dust, dirt, and potential damage.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the cube to extreme heat or cold, as this can affect the plastic and magnetic components.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your GAN 15 Maglev Speed Cube, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Cube feels too tight or too loose: Adjust the tension using the Magnet GES system as described in Section 5.2. Refer to the video for visual guidance.
• Pieces pop out: Ensure the GES V3 structure's safety clicks are securely locked. If pieces frequently pop out, the tension might be too loose and needs to be tightened.
• Grinding or rough turning: This could be due to dust or lack of lubrication. Clean the cube and apply lubricant as per Section 6.
• Magnets feel weak or inconsistent: Verify that the changeable magnet rods are correctly installed and that the magnet strength setting is adjusted to your preference (if applicable to your specific model's features).

If the issue persists after attempting these solutions, please contact GAN customer support for further assistance.
