Injuries due to Force Feedback and repeated
movements
Using a Force Feedback racing wheel may cause
muscle or joint pain. To avoid any problems:
- Warm up beforehand, and avoid lengthy periods of
practice.
- Take a 10 to 15-minute break after each hour of
practice.
- If you feel any fatigue or pain in your hands, wrists,
arms, feet or legs, press the button to turn off Force
Feedback, power off the base and rest for a few hours
before you start practicing again.
- If the symptoms or pains indicated above persist when
you start practicing again, stop practicing and consult
your doctor.
- Do not set the Force Feedback at a level that is too high
in relation to your expertise and your physical condition.
Use the button to turn off Force Feedback, if necessary.
- Keep the device out of the reach of people less than
21 years of age.
- When using the product, never place your hands or
your fingers under the pedals or anywhere near the
pedal set.
- If the wheel makes more than three turns in the same
direction, or if it makes abnormal vibrations or
oscillations, press the button to turn off Force Feedback.
