INSTALLING THE WHEEL ON ITS BASE
Align the connector positions using the arrows:
Base (1) connector: Arrow pointing upwards
Racing wheel (2) connector: Arrow pointing upwards
Once the connectors are correctly positioned, simply rotate the Thrustmaster Quick Release (15) device’s
ring anticlockwise, while holding the racing wheel (2) in position.
Then, tighten the ring as much as you can: to do so, hold the ring in position and rotate the racing wheel
clockwise.
Once you have installed the wheel, rotate it 180° (when facing the wheel, the Sparco logo should be
upside down) to access the small attachment screw located on the ring of the Thrustmaster Quick
Release (15)device. Use a large Phillips screwdriver to tighten the small attachment screw (do not use
excessive force), turning it clockwise.
When using a Philips screwdriver, ensure NOT to use excessive force
when tightening the small attachment screw!
Stop turning the screw as soon as you feel some resistance.

ATTACHING THE RACING WHEEL
Attaching the racing wheel’s base to a cockpit
1. Place the racing wheel’s base on the cockpit shelf.
2. Drive two M6 screws (not included) through the cockpit shelf, then feed them into the two small
screw threads located on the underside of the racing wheel.
Important: The length of the two M6 screws must not exceed the thickness of the shelf + 12 mm;
longer screws could cause damage to internal components located in the racing wheel’s base.
3. If required, tighten the standard attachment system by inserting the fastening screw in the large
threaded hole.
Attaching the racing wheel to a table or a desktop
1. Place the racing wheel on a table or any other horizontal, flat and stable surface.
2. Insert the fastening screw (9) in the attachment system (8), then tighten the device by turning the
screw anticlockwise, so that it feeds into the large threaded hole (7) located beneath the racing
wheel, until the wheel is perfectly stable.
ALWAYS NEVER
WARNING:
- Never tighten the screw alone, without the attachment system in place (this could
damage the racing wheel).

connect the racing wheel’s USB connector.
During this phase, the racing wheel will rotate quickly towards the left and the right, covering a 1080
degree angle, before stopping at the center.
WARNING:
Never touch the racing wheel during the self-calibration phase!
(This could result in improper calibration and/or personal injuries.)
If your racing wheel does not function correctly, or if it seems to be improperly calibrated:
Power off your PC or your console and completely disconnect the racing wheel. Then reconnect all
cables (including the power supply cable and the pedal set), and restart your PC and your game.
INTERNAL COOLING SYSTEM FOR THE WHEEL’S BASE
The internal cooling system for the wheel’s base
- starts working when the wheel is powered on.
- switches off after a few minutes of inactivity when the internal temperature cools down to a low level.
- switches on again when you use the wheel.
MODE BUTTON AND INDICATOR LIGHT (6)

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 system or PC, or during gaming sessions, to avoid calibration problems.
= Always connect the pedal set to the wheel before connecting the wheel to the system 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
system, completely disconnect your wheel, then reconnect all of the cables (including the power
supply cable and the pedal set cable), power the system 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 exceed the thickness of the cockpit’s pedal
support plate plus an additional 10 mm, to avoid damaging the pedal set’s internal components.

16/22
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 disconnect your wheel’s
USB cable from the system or PC before 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.
Low position (default)
High position

17/22
Adjusting the SPACING of the three pedals
- 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 position (to the left, centered, or to the right), then replace and re-tighten the
screws so that the metal head (8) and its support (7) are held firmly in place.
Examples illustrating the brake pedal:
Left position Centered position (default) Right position
Number of possible spacing positions per pedal:
- Three for accelerator pedal
- Three for brake pedal
- Three for clutch pedal
Adjusting the INCLINATION of the pedals
- Using the included 2.5 mm Allen key (4), unscrew the two screws holding the metal head (8) and
its support (7) in place.
- Turn the plastic head support (7) 180°, then replace and re-tighten the screws so that the metal
head (8) and its support (7) are held firmly in place.
Examples illustrating the accelerator pedal:
Less inclined position More inclined position (default)
Number of possible inclination positions per pedal:
- Two for accelerator pedal
- Two for brake pedal
- Two for clutch pedal

18/22
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.

19/22
- 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 experience
difficulties in reaching the maximum calibration value. Should that be the case:
* Slowly, press very hard on the brake pedal so as to reach the maximum 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.
