1.1 Varoitukset ja ohjeet turvalliselle käytölle

● VAROITUS: TUKEHTUMISVAARA - sisältää pieniä osia, käyttö vain aikuisen valvonnassa! Älä anna lasten käyttää polkimia, tai mitään toimitettua osaa tai työkalua

ilman aikuisen valvontaa.

● Älä koskaan käytä vahingoittunutta tai millään tavalla viallista tuotetta, lopeta käyttö ja ota yhteys jälleenmyyjään tai valmistajaan.

● Sisältää teräviä reunoja ja kulmia sekä sulkeutuvia välejä, älä koske polkimiin käytön aikana.

● Älä käytä maaöljypohjaisia voiteluaineita polkimien kanssa, ne vahingoittavat osia polkimista. Mikäli voitelua tarvitaan, suosittelemme PTFE-kuivavoitelusuihketta.

● Varmista, että kaikki jotka polkimia käyttävät, ovat lukeneet ja ymmärtäneet käyttöohjeen sisällön (ajantasaisen käyttöohjeen löydät: https://simgrade.fi ).

● Varmista aina, että kaikki liitokset ovat kireällä ennen kuin käytät polkimia. Kiristä liitos aina mutterin puolelta kun sellainen on käytössä.

● ÄLÄ avaa ohjausboxia.

● Polkimia tai niiden osia ei saa käyttää kuin siihen tarkoitukseen, johon ne on suunniteltu. SIMGRADE° R7 PEDALS on tarkoitettu käytettäväksi USB-peliohjaimena tietokoneella. Valmistaja

ei vastaa vahingoista, jotka voivat syntyä tuotteen ohjeiden vastaisesta käytöstä.

● Kiinnitä aina polkimet M6-pulteilla (4kpl / poljin) tukevaan alustaan. Käyttäjä vastaa siitä, että alusta kestää polkimien käytön.

● Maksimi kiristysmomentti muovia sisältäviin liitoksiin / muoviosien kiinnittämiseen: 6 Nm.

1.1.1. Käyttöympäristö ja turvalliset säilytysolosuhteet

● 15°C – 35°C lämpötila, tiivistymätön kosteus.

1.1. Warnings & instructions for safe usage

● WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts, adult supervision required! Never let children use the pedals, or any of the provided parts or tools without supervision by

an adult.

● Never use damaged or in any way defective product, stop using it and contact the reseller or the manufacturer.

● There are sharp edges and corners and closing gaps, keep away from the pedals while they are being used.

● Do not use petroleum based lubricants with the pedals, these will damage some of the parts in the pedals when in contact. If you need to use some lubricant, we recommend dry

PTFE-spray.

● Always make sure everyone using the pedals have read and understood the content of the manual (up-to-date manual can be found: simgrade.fi).

● Always check that all connections are tightened before using the pedals. Always tighten from the nut side when one is used.

● DO NOT open the controller box.

● Pedals or any of their parts may not be used on any other purpose than what they were designed for. SIMGRADE° R7 PEDALS is meant to be used as an USB-input device on a computer.

The manufacturer is not liable for any damage that may result from using the product in violation of the instructions.

● Always fasten the pedals to the support base with M6 bolts (4 pcs / pedal). It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the platform can withstand the use of the pedals.

● Maximum tightening torque for joints / attachment of plastic parts; 6Nm.

1.1.1. Operating environment and safe storage conditions

● 15°C – 35°C temperature, non-condensing humidity.

● Do not expose the pedals or any provided part to direct sunlight or moisture.

1.4. Mounting the pedals

● A proper racing rig with a sturdy mounting platform is required . Aluminium extrusion profile bas e for the pedals is

recommended.

● Always use all 4 mounting bolts (M6) with washers on each pedal. Mounting pattern for one pedal is 80 mm (longitudinal) x 87

mm (lateral).

● Controller box can also be mounted with bolts (M4, DIN912). For aluminium profile, use the provided (M4) L=25 mm bolts.

1.5. Connecting the pedals to the controller box and to the PC

Connect the brake pedal to the middle port, and throttle on the side of the USB-out port. The 3rd port is for the clutch.

It is recommended to connect the pedals directly to the motherboard of the PC (back of the computer), into a USB 2.0 slot (black). We do

not recommend using USB-hubs with the pedals.

1.6. Grounding

In case you have some installed hardware (or some other environmental issue) that is creating EMI problems or other electrical

interference (i.e. signal from the pedals is not stable), you might need to ground the pedals by connecting a cable from the controller box

to the throttle pedal. Make sure the pedal end of the cable is directly connected to the frame plate, between the washer and the frame

(red). The controller box end is M3 (ring), and the pedal end is M5 (fork). Tighten the pedal end firmly, but do not use excess force while

tightening the box end.

The signal value will always move around / vary slightly, but if the range of variation is more than 10 units (out of 4096) while having the

pedals stationary, we recommend adding the cable just to be on the safe side.

1.7. Maintenance

Pedals do not need any added lubrication in normal conditions. If you add some regardless, only use dry PTFE-spray. Clean the pedals

only with a dry cloth. The provided felt pads for the stoppers should last a considerably long time (years). Replacements are available

from us (contact: [email protected]) but they can also be replaced with any local product, if needed (cut size: ~ 25mm x 12mm).

2. Mechanical Adjustments

2.1. General

● To achieve a more traditional feel to the pedals, adjust the heel support (blue) closer to the pedal arm. This will reduce the

movement of your heel, which might feel more comfortable at first. It is recommended that you gradually learn to use the heel

supports further away from the pedal arms, as this will increase the control you have on the pedals, as you can basically push the

pedals both ways.

● It is good practice to first adjust the angle of the whole pedal using the bolts on the back (yellow) and then fine tune by adjusting

the pedal face (red) position and orientation with the slotted holes (purple).

● Note the position of the pedal face in relation to the main pivot point: If you draw a vertical line straight up from the ball bearings,

having the pedal face either ahead or behind the line changes how the pedal feels (see page 11). Usually it is beneficial to keep

the pedal face in front of the line (closer to the driver) on the brake, and behind or close to the line on the throttle. For example,

this helps if you feel that your foot is trying to ‘slide over’ the brake pedal face. Keeping the PF behind the line on the throttle

might give you a more comfortable and natural feel. For the brake, it is often a good idea to first adjust the angle of the whole

pedal (yellow) one step higher, and then slide the pedal face back, closer to the pedal arm. This way there is less strain on the

pedal and you should have a better feel for the brake, as your foot can not start to slide over the pedal face so easily.

● If you notice that the plastic part of the pedal face is loose, follow these steps: 1) Loosen the nyloc nuts on both sides (green)

2) Tighten the M6-bolt (orange), as there is another nut inside the PF 3) tighten the nyloc nut while keeping the bolt secured.

Don’t overtighten (plastic starts to deform = too much torque).
