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 Ferrari 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).

be free from defects in materials and workmanship, for a warranty period which corresponds to the time limit to

bring an action for conformity with respect to this product. In the countries of the European Union, this

corresponds to a period of two (2) years from delivery of the Thrustmaster product. In other countries, the

warranty period corresponds to the time limit to bring an action for conformity with respect to the Thrustmaster

product according to applicable laws of the country in which the consumer was domiciled on the date of

period shall be one (1) year from the original date of purchase of the Thrustmaster product).

Notwithstanding the above, rechargeable batteries are covered by a warranty period of six (6) months from the

Should the product appear to be defective during the warranty period, immediately contact Technical Support,

who will indicate the procedure to follow. If the defect is confirmed, the product must be returned to its place of

Within the context of this warranty, the consumer’s defective product shall, at Technical Support’s option, be

either replaced or returned to working order. If, during the warranty period, the Thrustmaster product is subject to

such reconditioning, any period of at least seven (7) days during which the product is out of use shall be added

to the remaining warranty period (this period runs from the date of the consumer’s request for intervention or

from the date on which the product in question is made available for reconditioning, if the date on which the

product is made available for reconditioning is subsequent to the date of the request for intervention). If

permitted under applicable law, the full liability of Guillemot and its subsidiaries (including for consequential

damages) is limited to the return to working order or the replacement of the Thrustmaster product. If permitted

under applicable law, Guillemot disclaims all warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

only party authorized to open and/or recondition any Thrustmaster product (with the exception of any

reconditioning procedures which Technical Support may request that the consumer carry out, by way of written

instructions – for example, due to the simplicity and the lack of confidentiality of the reconditioning process – and

by providing the consumer with the required spare part(s), where applicable).

principle, any reconditioning notification or spare parts for any Thrustmaster product whose warranty period has
