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 TM 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).

Support is the 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

not provide, in principle, any reconditioning notification or spare parts for any Thrustmaster product
