Thank you for purchasing the Volair SimTM Universal Flight | Racing Sim Chassis! We hope that it will give you countless
hours of enjoyment. Although we have designed the system with ease of assembly in-mind, please read these
instructions carefully first.
NOTE: SOME OF THE PARTS MAY VARY FROM THOSE SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS BELOW AS WE CONTINUOUSLY
IMPROVE OUR PRODUCTS. SOME FASTENERS MAYBE PRE-INSTALLED ON THE CHASSIS.
PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE AND YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS AND TIPS.
THIS MANUAL IS AVAILABLE IN PDF VERSION FROM THESUPPORT SECTION OF OUR WEB-SITE.
We recommend that you find an open space to carefully unpack and inventory all of the components and mounting
hardware before beginning the assembly process. Please refer to the INSTALLATION DRAWING to verify that you have
all of the chassis components and TABLE 1 below for all of the mounting hardware. Throughout the assembly process,
please refer to TABLE 1 which references the parts used during each step of the assembly. You should note that all
hardware is metric. Although we provided you with basic tools, we recommend that you also use an adjustable wrench,
Philips screwdriver, and a metric socket set during installation.

STEP 1: ATTACHING MONITOR BASE TO SEAT BASE
Begin assembly by attaching the monitor base to the seat base using the adjustment tubular connectors as shown in
FIGURE 1 below. The inner adjustment tubes allow you to vary the distance between the seat base and the monitor
base. Use four (4) M8*16mm Socket Cap Machine Screws (No. 3) and two (2) M8x16mm Machine Screws with Knob (No.
5). You can adjust the optimum seat distance later.
TIP: APPLYING ATHIN LAYER OF SILICON GREASE (NO. 17) ONTO THE INNER ADJUSTMENT TUBES WILL FACILITATE
INSTALLATION AND FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS

STEP 2: PEDAL TRAY
Flip the monitor base and seat base over and attach the pedal tray using two (2) M6*30mm Button Head Machine
Screws (No. 2) and two (2) M6 Self-Locking Nuts (No. 4). See FIGURES 2A and 2B below:

STEP 3: CENTER MONITOR SUPPORT
Attach center monitor support to monitor base as shown in FIGURE 3. Do not tighten the plastic adjustment nuts (circled
below) all the way at this time since you will want to adjust the height after installation of monitors.

STEP 4: AVIONICS | WORK TABLE
Attach the avionics table to the support structure with four (4) M6*35mm Button Head Machine Screws (No. 9) and four
(4) M6 Self-Locking Nuts (No. 4). Note that there are two positions (as shown in FIGURE 4) in which the table can be
mounted depending on whether you want the table closer or farther away from you. Ensure that the row of holes drilled
along the top edge of the table is facing towards the seat. These holes are pre-drilled for attaching the Volair Sim Avionics
Panel, Logitech (Saitek) Pro Flight Yoke, Logitech Steering Wheel, Thrustmaster T500RS Steering Wheel, and Logitech
(Saitek) Pro Flight Accessories (on left and right sides of the yoke) to table.

STEP 6: SEAT RISER ASSEMBLY
Attach seat risers to the seat base using four (4) M8*35mm Socket Cap Machine Screws (No. 6) and four (4) M8 Flange
Nuts (No. 8) as shown in FIGURE 6 below.

STEP 7: SEAT SUPPORT ASSEMBLY
Continue the assembly of the seat base as shown in FIGURE 7 with the two cross braces (#1) and the left (#2), center
(#3) and right (#4) square tubes. Note that the seat support brackets attach to the OUTERMOST holes on the two cross
braces and that the open square profiles on the cross braces point towards the floor. You may need to apply some
pressure and bend the seat risers outward as you insert the four (4) M8*35mm Socket Cap Machine Screws through the
cross braces. Partially thread the Machine Screws with Knobs into the open square channels under cross braces which
will later be used to secure the left, center, and right mounts.

STEP 8: SEAT ASSEMBLY
Attach the two seat sliders to the seat base using four (4) M8*35mm Socket Cap Machine Screws (No. 6), and four (4)
M8 Flange Nuts (No. 8) as shown in FIGURE 8A. Remember to place four (4) M8 silver-colored washers (No. 20) between
the bottom of sliders and top of the seat support brackets. This will ensure that the left and the right-side mounts have
adequate clearance for forward and aft movement. HINT: You can move the sliders to forward/aft position to provide
access to slider mounting holes. Note the adjustment slider handle location and lift the handle UP to allow movement.
Next, attach the seat to the two sliders as shown in FIGURE 8B taking care that you place the four (4) dish-shaped Seat
Spacers (No. 18) between the sliders and the seat as shown in FIGURE 8C.
