1. Let’s get started
1.1 Mount the brackets
Both the Pedals will need their brackets to be mounted
on the rig.
In order to do so, you will need to use the M5x10 Button
TX Screws to mount the brackets to the side of the
pedals (using the TX25 L Key you were supplied with).
Remember that you can always customize the angle
of the pedals, to adapt them to your rig structure and
use them properly!
1.2 Set your favourite pedals angle
When mounting the brackets you will be able to choose
one of the three different height levels. The brackets can
also be inverted to mount the pedals on an upward or
downward angle depending on your preferences.
Same as the first installation, you will need to tighten
the screws according to the desired installation angle.
Repeat the operation on both sides.
5˚ increments

1.3 Installation
The next step is mounting the pedals to the
simulator’s plate: to do so you will need to
use the M8x20 Button Hex Screws that you
will find in the tools bag.
Remember, to lock the pedals in place you
will need to tighten those screws with the M8
Nuts on the other side of the plate!

1.4 Connecting to the PC
To connect it to the PC, simply plug the USB-C and the 4-pin cable of the brake pedal on
the rear of the throttle pedal. If needed, use also the extension brake cable to connect it to
the throttle pedal.
1.5 Calibrating the SP01
The first time you connect the SP01, you will need to download the PedalUI app to calibrate
the pedals’ axis. After downloading it from the website and starting the program, you will
see the Inputs page in which try out the pedals inputs. There is the possibility the pedals’
inputs could be not correctly recognized by the program at first.

In this case, by clicking on the “CALIBRATE” section, you will be able to calibrate them.
Then simply clicking “CALIBRATE” once again will make the RAW values of the pedals appear.
Pressing now the pedals full-course will make the system set the correct minimum and
maximum values.

After that, simply click “SAVE”.
Now the SP01 pedals are correctly calibrated, as you will be able to see on the Inputs page!

1.6 Customize and Save your Profiles
Last but not least, remember to try out the non-linear pedal output curves in the Profiles section to fully
customize your experience! Each pedal’s curve allows you to map non-linear output using its five zones
(divided by 6 input parameters). You can make your own custom curves by simply moving the input
points on the graph, to reach the desired feedback for pedals’ throw.
Remember to Save once you’re done and you also have the possibility to Import or Export profiles.

2. Adjustments
2.1 Pad Adjustments
Both pads can be adjusted to one’s
preferences.
The brake pad can be set in four
different positions moving the two
M5x10 screws on the back. Simply
remove them using the TX25 key,
reposition the pad as you see fit and
secure the screws again.
The Formula Version can be adjusted
at two different heights thanks to the
two M5x10 countersunk screws on
the front of the pad using the TX25
key. Holding still the nuts on the other
side with the supplied wrench, simply
remove the screws and you’re good
to go.

2.2 Throttle Adjustments
You can set the end stroke of the SP01 throttle pedal via the adjustment knob.
This way you can change the pedal excursion angle as far as 10 degrees.

You can also set the spring pre-load (and also the return
speed) using the supplied HEX4mm L key on the screw in
the front of the pedal.

You will also be able to reduce your
throttle full throw mounting an
additional throttle washer that you
can find in your base kit, or reduce it
removing the one present!
Doing so is easy: use your HEX4mm
L key to untighten the central shaft,
remove it and replace the elements.
IMPORTANT:
After every adjustment is necessary to calibrate the throttle again in the software.
When tightening the central shaft, make sure you don’t use excessive strength to avoid stripping
the thread

2.3 Brake Adjustments
You are supplied with Elastomers, Springs and Washers to customize and adjust the SP01 brake pedal,
specifically:
1 Soft Yellow Elastomer
1 Medium Red Elastomer
1 Hard Blue Elastomer
1 Hard Blue Spring
3 Protective Washers (Large)
These elements can be changed, installed and mix-matched to obtain the perfect resistance for the
taste of every driver. Along with every spring and damper you will also need to mount the relative self-
centring washer with the flat surface outward-facing.
When first installed, the rubber dampers will initially need a break-in period and may seem slightly
deformed: do not worry, as this is normal and only temporary.
The correct procedure to replace the elements is to unlock the central shaft using the HEX4mm silver
key (rear side) and untighten the pre-load knob completely. Then you can easily unscrew the central
shaft itself using your bare hands and remove it directly. At this point you can easily take out the
pre-load knob and the elements and replace the ones that you wish to change. Mount the shaft, the
elements and the preload knob back again and tighten the shaft into the pre-load by hand. Secure
everything with a small tightening via the HEX4mm key and you’re done!

IMPORTANT:
Always remember to install the correct self-centring washer along with the compressible elements you
wish to use.
If you have any doubt on the correct mounting of the brake shaft and elements, please consult our
interactive guides on our website.
When re-tightening the central axis, be careful of your strenght: using excessive force may result in
stripping the shaft thread, or make the break not work correctly damaging the components.

2.4 Damper Settings
The Damper setting can be changed simply turning the red setting ring on the damper itself.
You can choose from 12 total values, going from 0.0 (the less instrusive) to 6.0 (the most intrusive) and
all values between.
IMPORTANT:
For the most optimal configuration we suggest to use a low setting, between 0 and 2.
Higher values can result in a too much intrusive hydraulic dampening.
It can happen in the first days of use for a small leaking of oil to appear from the hydraulic
damper. That is normal for the assessing period: simply clean the part and you will be good.
