INSTALLING THE FRONT MOUNT BRACKET ASSEMBLY

NOTE: In order to install the front mount bracket assembly, the main wheelbase mounting plate (17) from step 10B of the ClubSport GT Cockpit Quick Start Guide will need to be uninstalled.

To complete the step, the following hardware and tools from step 10B will be used:

M8 Allen Key

M6 Allen Key

M8 20mm L-Bolts (2x)

M8 Spring Washers (2x)

M8 Washers (4x)

M6 Shoulder Bolts (2x)

Locking Pin (1x)

Remove the existing main Wheelbase Mounting Plate (17). Refer to step 10B.
Attach the front mount bracket assembly to the Right and Left Steering Mount Brackets (15, 16) by using one M6 Shoulder Bolt (S4), one M8 Washer (W2) and one M8 spring Washer (W5) on each side. Do not overtighten the shoulder bolts.
Screw in the spring loaded Locking Pin Bolt (P2) through the Left Steering Mount Bracket (16) and the left side of the front mount bracket assembly.
Screw the two M8 20mm L-Bolts (S6) and two M8 Washers (W2) through the steering mount brackets and into the front mount bracket assembly on each side.
To adjust the wheelbase tilt, loosen both L-Bolts (S6), release the Locking Pin (P2) by pulling it outwards, and rotate the plate upwards or downwards. Make sure you retighten the L-Bolts (S6) once you have adjusted the tilt.

NOTE: To change the height of the assembly, undo the eight M5 16mm Bolts (B2), eight M5 Washers (W1)
and eight M5 Spring Washers (W4) that secure the Right and Left Steering Mount Brackets (15, 16), covered in step 10A. Reposition the assembly with the brackets attached to a desired height and re-secure them using the same hardware.

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.
