WARNING! Assembled platform will have exposed motors moving parts. Never operate it with small
children around. Protection cover sold separately. During initial assembly don't tighten the bolts
completely, do it after everything is assembled. First you need to assemble the full frame and tighten
the screws and bolts after.
Please check all the motor power and sensor plugs. Reconnect them if they happen to have
been disconnected during shipping. This is very important: Never change the wiring. Mixing the colors
to the connectors can damage the motors and platform controllers.
Our platform is very lightweight and simple due to its perfect weight balance. This allows us to
use affordable motors and gearboxes. If you plan to put something besides standard wheel, pedals,
yoke, gear shifter, throttle and HOTAS you need to plan and install it properly. Each additional element
(even if it is light weight) connected to the moving platform should be well positioned and
counterbalanced. Even a light-weight screen/monitor placed on our simulator can cause problems. It is
always better to consult us first, before installing any extra equipment on the platform.
Don't put ANY controllers on the platform before it is completely tested and proven to be
working as desired. After assembly attach the seat only; nothing extra. After you ensure that the
simulator is moving appropriately, you can start adding controllers one by one, doing movement tests
with the a person seated in the chair. This will replicate the weight distribution.
Each platform control box is shipped preset to the voltage of the destination country. If you
are not sure about the proper voltage settings, turn it upside-down and check ALL 2 or 3 red switches
inside the box and consult us.
If you not sure what bolts to use print the following 1:1 template on corresponding paper size without
extra borders or spacing:

Never ever leave platform powered unattended and powered on when not used. Motors
are constantly doing micro adjustments. When overheated over 70C they can loose the
power.

There are some subtleties to be considered when combining VR with a motion platform. The motion platform will move the player’s head, which will move the VR headset, which will automatically affect the amount of movement you see in the VR image.
- Page 28 Assembly Instructions DOF Reality H6 and Another potential software solution is the older version of motion cancellation called OpenVR Input Emulator. Though it is no longer being developed, there is still limited support from the community via its download page here: https://github.com/matzman666/OpenVR-InputEmulator/releases.
- Page 29 Oculus update this solution may or may not work. DOF Reality includes a mount for the Oculus Rift sensor in your DOF hardware shipment which should be placed at the front of the platform looking back at the VR headset.

Page 30: Troubleshooting And Maintenance
Assembly Instructions DOF Reality H6 and Troubleshooting & Maintenance The simulator does not need much maintenance, but you should check for loose bolts or other abnormalities periodically (we recommend once a month). - Confirm the security of the nuts and bolts every few weeks. - Page 31 Assembly Instructions DOF Reality H6 and If the platform still doesn’t move, you should pen a ticket by emailing sales@dofreality.com. 5.2 If one or more of your motors are stuck in an improper position and don’t seem to respond If a motor gets into the “protection zone”, it may stop responding. If this occurs, the mechanical position is so far out of line that the software locks.
- Page 32 Over time the motor-sensor coupler bolts may get loose and the neutral motor position can get malaligned from normal (often the arm moves just a bit higher than horizontal). If this is the case perform tests (see section 5.4) to make sure motor is moving correctly first or consult DOF Reality support.
- Page 33 Assembly Instructions DOF Reality H6 and 17. Now looking at the SMC3 program tool, slowly rotate the coupler until the green line sits in the middle of the graph slightly below the blue line. At this point the green line should be moving right with the blue line.
- Page 34 Assembly Instructions DOF Reality H6 and 5.4 Something is wrong with my platform! 1) Check all cables and motor connections, including any loose wires inside the control box. 2) Close and exit SimRacingStudio. 3) Download http://dofreality.com/SMC3Utils.zip 4) Unzip all contents into any local folder on your PC.
