CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Fanatec Clubsport GT cockpit is manufactured to be robust and sturdy during use. However, by following basic care and maintenance steps, you can improve the longevity and performance of your cockpit.

IMPORTANT: This product is designed for adult use. We recommend adult supervision for any children using this product.

Before each use of your cockpit, ensure that all the bolts clamping the pedal assembly in place are secure.
Routinely (at least once every two weeks) check the bolts securing the seat brackets, wheelbase, and pedals to ensure they are secure.
To protect the finish of the cockpit, always sufficiently loosen the cam levers and bolts that secure all adjustable parts when using to prevent scraping or cosmetic damage.
To protect the seat, do not place sharp or heavy items on the upholstered sections.
To clean your cockpit, use a clean, dry microfiber cloth or a vacuum with a soft bristle attachment.
Use caution when adjusting seating position to ensure the seat is positioned in the corresponding slots on either side of the seat, and the tracks are free from debris or fingers when sliding the seat.
To protect your seat, do not place heavy items on the upholstered sections.
Ensure a clutter-free environment before use and check to ensure cables are secure.
