2. Mechanical Adjustments
2.1. General - read carefully!
●
Do not open the connection between the pedal arm and the push rod top end. You’re not allowed to change the
mounting slot on the pedal arm. Changing the slot might lead to permanent damage to the load cell. Changing the
slot voids warranty (all pedals).
●
Use protective gloves when changing or adding parts to the pedals, or when removing parts from them. Particularly
when changing the spring or elastomer on the brake or clutch, or when adding washers on the stack to adjust
preload (all pedals).
●
Proceed with caution when pressing the rear of the spring / elastomer down to its place. The assembly will snap
suddenly to its place (the higher the level of preload, the faster the snap), and you need to be extra careful not to
get your fingers in between. Locate the parts carefully between the bearings and make sure you push it down
evenly. It is recommended to do this operation only while the pedals are securely mounted on a stable base (for
example a rig). DO NOT keep your fingers under the assembly while pressing down. Only press from the top side
paying close attention to keep everything lined up correctly.
●
To prevent accidents - only adjust the pedals while they are securely mounted on a firm base (for example on a rig).
●
All pedals are load based, which means every time you change any mechanical setting on a pedal, you need to recalibrate that
particular pedal. This is done in the app by adjusting the signal cut off lines up or down (bottom line & top line). See the
“Software” section for more details. The only exception to this is that the top line for the brake needs to be changed only when
you want to change the maximum braking force - adding or removing preload has no effect on this.
●
The angle of the pedal can be changed (+/-8,5 degrees) by opening the rear bolts on the side, and rotating the pedal.
●
The maximum allowed pedal force (110kg) is only achieved with the red spring and with the pedal face adjusted to low position.
