WARNING

• Before using this product, be sure to read these instructions carefully and save them for future reference.
• Keep the pedal set out of the reach of children.
• During gaming sessions, never place your fingers or thumbs on or near the sides of the pedals.
• During gaming sessions, never place your fingers or thumbs on or near the rear base of the pedals.
• During gaming sessions, never place your fingers or thumbs on or near the front base of the pedals.

AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION OF PEDALS

• Never connect or disconnect the pedal set from the base of the wheel when the wheel is connected to the console or PC, or during gaming sessions, to avoid calibration problems.
• Always connect the pedal set to the wheel before connecting the wheel to the console or PC.
• Once the wheel has self-calibrated and the game has started, the pedals automatically calibrate themselves after being pressed a few times.
• Never press on the pedals when the wheel is self-calibrating or when your game is starting up, to avoid calibration problems.
• If the pedals are not functioning correctly or appear to be improperly calibrated, power off your console, completely disconnect your wheel, then reconnect all of the cables (including the power supply cable and the pedal set cable), power the console back on and restart your game.

ATTACHING THE PEDAL SET TO A COCKPIT

• Attach the pedal set using the small screw threads located on the underside of the pedal set.
• Screw M6 screws (not included) into the cockpit’s pedal support plate and into the small screw threads located on the underside of the pedal set.

INSTALLING THE 2 LATERAL ARCHES (1)

• Positions of the pedal set’s 2 lateral screw threads (1 upper + 1 lower) in order to attach the 2 lateral arches (1):
• Place one of the plastic washers (3) on the screw thread located on the lower part of the pedal set.
• Next, place one of the arches (1) on the screw thread located on the upper part of the pedal set and on the plastic washer (3).
• Attach the arch (1) using 2 of the M8-type Allen screws (2) and the 6 mm Allen key (4) by turning the screws clockwise.
• Repeat this procedure on the other side of the pedal set to attach the second arch.

CONFIGURING THE PEDALS

Each of the 3 pedals features:

• A metal head (17) with several perforations (9 for the accelerator – 6 for the brake – 6 for the clutch)
• A plastic head support (21) (between the head and the arm) with 4 perforations
• A metal pedal arm (22) with 4 perforations

Adjusting the pedal HEIGHT

• Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (20), loosen and remove the 2 screws holding the metal head (17) and its support (21) in place.
• Once this is done, select the height of your choice and then replace and re-tighten the screws.

Adjusting the pedal SPACING

• Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (20), loosen and remove the 2 screws holding the metal head (17) and its support (21) in place.
• Once this is done, select the position of your choice (to the left, in the center or to the right) and then replace and re-tighten the screws

Adjusting the pedal TILT

• Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (20), loosen and remove the 2 screws holding the metal head (17) and its support (21) in place.
• Once this is done, turn the plastic head support (21) 180°, and then replace and re-tighten the screws

Adjusting the range of TRAVEL and resistance FORCE of the brake pedal (with no BRAKE MOD installed)

• Install the metal stop (23) at the rear of the brake pedal arm.
• Select your choice of position (Long, Medium or Short range of travel), and then tighten the 4 M3- type Allen screws (8) using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (20).

Number of possible travel or resistance positions:

• Long travel with resistance of approximately 22 lbs / 10 kg
• Medium travel with resistance of approximately 18.7 lbs / 8.5 kg
• Short travel with resistance of approximately 15.4 lbs / 7 kg

Installing the SPRING BRAKE MOD (18)

• Install the SPRING BRAKE MOD (18) fully and tightly into the bottom of the cavity in the metal stop (23).
• For strong resistance: position the mod against the upper wall.
• For even stronger resistance: position the mod against the lower wall.
• Once this is done, attach the metal stop (23) behind the pedal’s arm with the 4 M3-type Allen screws (8), using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (20)..

Installing the CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE MOD (5)

This mod provides you with an authentic feel when braking, and ultra-progressive resistance at the end of the pedal’s range of travel. Users must decide whether or not to install it according to their own preferences.

• Screw the CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE MOD (5) into the screw thread in the metal stop (23), then tighten the fastening and adjustment nut (6) on the back, onto the protruding screw of the CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE MOD.
• Next, attach the metal stop (23) behind the pedal’s arm using only 2 M3-type Allen screws (8) (i.e. not using 4 screws), in the position shown in the diagrams below
• = in the Very long range of travel position

Adjusting the range of TRAVEL and resistance FORCE of the brake pedal with the CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE MOD (5) installed

• Using a 14 mm open-end wrench (not included), slightly loosen the fastening and adjustment nut (6).
• Depending on your preference, move the CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE MOD (5) a bit closer to or farther away from the back of the brake pedal.
• Once you have selected the position, simply re-tighten the fastening and adjustment nut (6) using the 14 mm open-end wrench.

Depending on the position you have selected, the resistance of the CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE MOD will be between 44 lbs / 20 kg (when the mod is farther away from the pedal) and 66 lbs / 30 kg (when the mod is closer to the pedal).Please note: If the CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE MOD is too close to the back of the brake pedal’s arm, it may happen that the pedal’s values do not completely return to zero when you release the pedal very lightly.

If that is the case:

• In the options of the game you are playing, add a small dead zone at the start of the brake pedal’s range of travel; or
• Move the CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE MOD a bit farther away from the back of the brake pedal’s arm.

INVERTING THE PEDAL SET’S POSITION

By default, the pedal set comes in the floor-mounted position (F1-style).

PHYSICALLY INVERTING the pedal set

• Using the included 2 mm Allen key (19), unscrew the 4 screws holding the removable foot rest (15) in place.
• Turn the pedal set 180°, then replace and retighten the screws in the 4 screw threads located on the arch (16).
• Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (20), unscrew the 3 metal heads (17) to turn them over 180°, and swap the positions of the accelerator head and the clutch head.

ELECTRONICALLY SWAPPING the accelerator and clutch pedals

When you physically invert the pedal set’s position, simply press the MODE button (located on the base of your wheel) to swap the accelerator and clutch pedals electronically (the LED color indicates the position you have selected).
