FORCE CONTROLLED WARTHOG - USER'S MANUAL V1.0

Place the FCW and it’s support plate over the base, aligned first with the 4 small notches then with
the 4 supporting poles and screw it securely with the 4 black original screws.

Screw the large flat plate from under the base (you will need it) and replace your Warthog handle in
place. Connect a mini USB cable to the FCW warthog PCB.
That’s it, the FCW warthog installation is finished
