  • Page 7: Important Notes

    1.2. Important Notes It is recommended to connect the pedals directly to the motherboard of the PC (back of the computer), into a USB 2.0 slot (black color). We do not recommend using USB-hubs with the pedals. It is recommended to press the pedals in a straight angle, this way you’ll have less strain on your knees and also the pedals will see less torsional loads.

  • Page 8: Mounting The Pedals

    1.4. Mounting the pedals A proper racing rig with a sturdy mounting platform is required. ● Aluminium extrusion profile base for the pedals is recommended. Always use all 4 mounting bolts (M6) on each pedal. Mounting pattern for one ● pedal is 80 mm (longitudinal) x 90 mm (lateral).

  • Page 9: Grounding The Controller Box

    1.6. Grounding the controller box In case you have some installed hardware that is creating EMI issues (and signal from the pedals is not stable), you might need to ground the pedals by connecting a cable from the controller box to the throttle pedal. Connect the grounding cable to the locations shown in the pictures below.

    2. Mechanical Adjustments 2.1. General To achieve a more traditional feel to the pedals, adjust the heel support (HS) ● closer to the pedal arm. This will reduce the movement of your heel, which might feel more comfortable at first. It is recommended that you gradually learn to use the heel supports further away from the pedal arms, as this will increase the control you have on the pedals.

  • Page 11: Brake

    2.2. Brake On the brake pedal, inside the polyurethane springs (later: PU-springs), you ● should always have correct amount of spacers installed. These will protect the PU-spring from overcompression and allow you to fine tune the pedal feel, as you can limit the amount of maximum compression for each element.

    2.3. Throttle Preload is adjusted with the hand nut and secured with a regular nut (P). 2. Pedal feel can be adjusted by changing the rod-end position on the pedal arm as well (S). 3. Throttle travel is adjusted by changing the location of the stopper (R). 4.

    3. Software 3.1. General 1. Always calibrate (adjust the dead zones) the pedals after mechanical changes. Adjusting the dead zones: Position of the horizontal lines (DZ) defines the area on the sensor range that is read as an input. Only the area between the lines is read as an input signal.

    4. Options & Alternative setups 4.1. Extra PU-spring pack This option enables you to transfer some part of the load (pedal force) to the pedal mounting platform instead of the load cell. As a result, higher pedal forces can be used. The distribution of the amount of force to the load cell vs.
  • Page 17 Install washers between the frame plate and the rod ends, see picture above. Tighten the M6-nut on the pedal arm end only so that the nyloc insert secures the connection, tightening more than that is unnecessary, see picture below.

  • Page 18: Separate Preload Spring

    4.2. Separate preload spring This option enables adding preload force to the pedal without affecting any other setting.
  • Page 19 Install washers between the frame plate and the rod ends, see the picture above. Tighten the M6-nut on the pedal arm end only so that the nyloc insert secures the connection, tightening more than that is unnecessary.

  • Page 20: Load Soft Stop

    4.3. Load soft stop This option enables creating a mechanical soft stop for the load transferred to the load cell. When the polyurethane stoppers touch, they softly start limiting the load transferred to the load cell. Note: remove all preload from the pedal before installation.

  • Page 22: Fixed Heel Supports

    4.4. Fixed heel supports If you want to have your heels resting on a fixed platform, you can use the individual heel supports (SX) or the full width plate (LX). To use the fixed supports, you need to have the bolts marked with “R2” installed (see page 10).
