4. Setup & Installation

The OceanicEcho Left Foot Accelerator Pedal offers both portable and bolted installation methods. The portable version utilizes a steel plate for stability without permanent modification to your vehicle's floorboard. The bolted version requires drilling for a more secure, permanent attachment.

4.1 Portable Installation (Recommended for ease of use)

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure the vehicle floor is flat and clean. Position the driver's seat to allow comfortable access to the pedal area.
2. Assemble the Pedal Unit: Attach the main left foot accelerator pedal assembly to the provided base plate using the designated screws and tools.
3. Position the Unit: Place the assembled unit directly onto the plush floor mats in the vehicle's footwell. The anti-slip rubber strips on the bottom of the base plate will provide grip.
4. Connect to Original Pedals: Select the appropriate accelerator and brake pedal clamps and connecting rods based on your vehicle's pedal design. Securely attach the connecting rods from the left foot accelerator unit to the original vehicle pedals.
5. Adjust for Comfort: Adjust the length and angle of the connecting rods and the pedal itself to achieve a comfortable and safe driving position. Ensure full range of motion for both accelerator and brake without obstruction.
6. Verify Security: Double-check all connections and fasteners to ensure they are tight and secure before driving.

4.2 Bolted Installation (For permanent secure connection)

For a bolted installation, the steel plate is omitted, and the main unit is directly secured to the vehicle floor. This method requires drilling and leaves permanent installation holes.

1. Determine Placement: Carefully determine the optimal installation location on the vehicle floor, ensuring it does not interfere with any vehicle components or wiring.
2. Mark and Drill: Mark the drilling points using the main unit as a template. Drill pilot holes into the vehicle floor.
3. Secure the Unit: Attach the main left foot accelerator pedal assembly directly to the vehicle floor using the provided screws and tools. Tighten all fasteners securely.
4. Connect to Original Pedals: Follow steps 4 and 5 from the Portable Installation section to connect and adjust the pedal clamps and rods.
5. Verify Security: Double-check all connections and fasteners to ensure they are tight and secure before driving.

7. Troubleshooting
