Page 4: Varoitukset Ja Ohjeet Turvalliselle Käytölle
● ● ÄLÄ avaa ohjausboxia. Polkimia tai niiden osia ei saa käyttää kuin siihen tarkoitukseen, johon ne on suunniteltu. SIMGRADE° R7 PEDALS on tarkoitettu käytettäväksi USB-peliohjaimena tietokoneella. Valmistaja ● ei vastaa vahingoista, jotka voivat syntyä tuotteen ohjeiden vastaisesta käytöstä. Kiinnitä aina polkimet M6-pulteilla (4kpl / poljin) tukevaan alustaan. Käyttäjä vastaa siitä, että alusta kestää polkimien käytön. -
Page 5: Warnings & Instructions For Safe Usage
DO NOT open the controller box. ● Pedals or any of their parts may not be used on any other purpose than what they were designed for. SIMGRADE° R7 PEDALS is meant to be used as an USB-input device on a computer. ●... -
Page 6: Mounting The Pedals
1.4. Mounting the pedals A proper racing rig with a sturdy mounting platform is required . Aluminium extrusion profile bas e for the pedals is ● recommended. Always use all 4 mounting bolts (M6) with washers on each pedal. Mounting pattern for one pedal is 80 mm (longitudinal) x 87 ●... -
Page 7: Grounding
1.6. Grounding In case you have some installed hardware (or some other environmental issue) that is creating EMI problems or other electrical interference (i.e. 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. -

The provided felt pads for the stoppers should last a considerably long time (years). Replacements are available from us (contact: info@simgrade.fi) but they can also be replaced with any local product, if needed (cut size: ~ 25mm x 12mm). - Page 10 ( Vertical line from the pivot point bearing ( Pedal angle adjustment...

Page 11: Brake
2.2. Brake When adjusting the brake, the first thing to change is the leverage angle of the push-rod / elastomer pack. With this adjustment, you have 25 different stiffness options available. So using the equal amount of pedal pressure, you can directly change the amount of travel by small increments. - Page 12 It is possible to use M6 DIN 125 washers inside the elastomers. This will protect the elastomer from overcompression, and make the lifetime longer. Recommended amounts of washers inside the elastomers: L 15 mm: 3 pcs L=10 mm: 1 pc —------------------- Using a smaller amount of elastomers than what is demonstrated on the default configurations will give you...
- Page 13 The pedals come with two sets of polyurethane springs (elastomers) and with a steel diecast spring option. If you like a really sharp return phase for the pedal, we recommend you to try the spring, as this characteristic is even more pronounced with it. With the adjustable leverage ratio, you have 25 different pedal softness settings for each installed combination of elastomers / spring.

Page 17: Brake Travel Limiter
2.2.6. Brake travel limiter The travel stopper (green) is adjusted just the same as in the throttle. The stopper is mounted on the loading frame, so it only limits the travel of the pedal - not the loading of the load cell, meaning that the brake will read more inputs even after you’re in contact with the limiter. -
Page 18: Throttle
2.3. Throttle Preload is ad justed with the plastic finger nut and ● secured with the steel nut on the top. Resistance progressivity is adjusted by changing ● the rod-end (red) position on the pedal arm. The spring should not be fully compressed with the pedal pressed down, if this happens, lower the rod-end and increase the preload. -
Page 19: Clutch
2.4. Clutch The advised adjustment options for the clutch are A) spring change: blue=soft | red=medium | yellow=hard. B) adjusting the small clutch plates up or down on the pedal arm slot hole. Loosen the M6 bolts (green) and retighten when done. You might need to take the preload off to be able to move the plates (loosen the bolts on the back). -
Page 20: Software
3. Software 3.1. General 1. Always calibrate (adjust the dead zones) the pedals after mechanical changes, and before starting the simulation. Adjusting the dead zones: Position of the horizontal lines 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. -

3.3. Limiting the maximum braking signal with the software Although we don’t recommend using this method, below are the steps to do it. 1. Put linear profile on the brake, and put the upper deadzone limit on the ‘signal’ bar so high that you can just reach it with ‘too much force’...
