AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION OF PEDALS
IMPORTANT:
- Never connect or disconnect the pedal set from the base of the wheel when the wheel is
connected to the console or PC, or during gaming sessions, to avoid calibration problems.
= Always connect the pedal set to the wheel before connecting the wheel to the console or PC.
- Once the wheel has self-calibrated and the game has started, the pedals automatically calibrate
themselves after being pressed a few times.
- Never press on the pedals when the wheel is self-calibrating or when your game is starting up, to
avoid calibration problems.
- If the pedals are not functioning correctly or appear to be improperly calibrated, power off your
console, completely disconnect your wheel, then reconnect all of the cables (including the power
supply cable and the pedal set cable), power the console back on and restart your game.
ATTACHING THE PEDAL SET TO A COCKPIT
- Attach the pedal set using the small screw threads located on the underside of the pedal set.
- Screw two M6 screws (not included) into the cockpit’s pedal support plate and into the two small
screw threads located on the underside of the pedal set.
Important: The length of the two M6 screws must not ex ceed the thickness of the cockpit’s pedal
support plate plus an additional 10 mm, to avoid damaging the pedal set’s internal components.

5/11
ADJUSTING THE PEDAL SET
Each of the three pedals includes:
- A metal head (8) with multiple perforations (nine for the accelerator – six for the brake – six for the
clutch).
- A plastic head support (7)(placed between the head and the arm) with four perforations.
- A pedal arm (6)with two perforations.
ATTENTION: To avoid any calibration problems, be sure to always disconnectyour wheel’s
USB cable from the console or PC befor e making any adjustments to your pedal set.
Adjusting the HEIGHT of the accelerator pedal
- Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (4), unscrew the two screws holding the metal head (8)and
its support (7)in place.
- Select your preferred height position, then replace and re-tighten the screws so that the metal
head (8) and its support (7) are held firmly in place.

Installing the conical stop (“CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE” mod)
This modification (or “mod”) is not essential, and is not installed by default. This means that the
brake pedal functions perfectly even if the mod is not installed.
This mod lets you experience a different feeling and resistance when braking.
It’s up to you whether or not to install it, depending on your own preferences.
- Screw the conical stop (2) onto its metal support (1).
- Screw the position adjustment nut (5) onto the bottom (onto the conical stop’s screw thread).
- Position the unit at the back of the brake pedal’s arm.

8/11
- Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (4), attach the unit using the attachment screw (3) and the
small central screw thread located on the underside of the pedal set.
The “CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE” mod is now installed!
Adjusting the brake pedal’s RANGE of travel and STRENGTH of resistance
By slightly unscrewing the nut (5), you can further strengthen the resistance of the brake pedal by
moving the conical stop (2) closer to the back of the pedal’s arm (if necessary, use a 14 mm wrench
or pliers to re-tighten the nut and maintain the selected position). The closer the conical stop is
positioned to the back of the pedal’s arm, the greater the strength of resistance will be.
Note: When the conical stop is very close to the back of the brake pedal’s arm, you may ex perience
difficulties in reaching the max imum calibration value. Should that be the case:
* Slowly, press very hard on the brake pedal so as to reach the max imum value (if necessary, stand
very briefly on the pedal – just for a second), then release the pressure; or else
* Move the conical stop a bit farther away from the back of the brake pedal’s arm.

Installer la butée conique (MOD « CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE »)
Ce MOD n’est pas obligatoire et n’est pas installé par défaut. Cela signifie que la pédale de frein
fonctionne parfaitement même si le MOD n’est pas installé.
Ce MOD permet d’apporter un feeling et une résistance différents lors des freinages.
Il appartiendra à chacun de l’installer ou non en fonction de ses préférences.
- Vissez la butée conique (2) sur son support métallique (1).
- Vissez l’écrou de réglage de position (5) à l’arrière (sur le pas de vis de la butée conique).
- Positionnez l’ensemble à l’arrière du bras de la pédale de frein.

8/11
- A l’aide de la clé Allen 2,5 mm fournie (4), fix ez l’ensemble en utilisant la vis de fix ation (3) et le
petit pas de vis central situé sous le pédalier.
Le MOD « CONICAL RUBBER BRAKE » est désormais installé !
Ajuster la COURSE dedébattement et la FORCE de résistance de la pédale de
frein
En dévissant légèrement l’écrou (5), vous pouvez également durcir davantage la résistance de la
pédale de frein en rapprochant la butée conique (2) de l’arrière du bras de la pédale (utilisez si
nécessaire une clé de 14 ou une pince pour resserrer l’écrou et maintenir la position souhaitée).
Plus la butée conique sera proche de l’arrière du bras de la pédale, plus la résistance sera élevée.
Remar que : Lorsque la butée conique est très proche de l’arrière du bras de la pédale de frein,
vous pouvez avoir des difficultés à atteindre la valeur max imale de calibration. Dans ce cas :
* Appuyez –lentement– très fortement sur la pédale de frein pour atteindre la valeur max imale (si
nécessaire, mettez-vous debout un court instant sur la pédale), puis relâchez la pression.
* Ou éloignez légèrement la butée conique de l’arrière du bras.
