Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best setup, start by adjusting the seat backrest to your desired angle before mounting your steering wheel. Use the Twinlock adjustments to ensure all joints are secure before every session. Periodically check the mounting bolts for your wheelbase and pedals to ensure they remain tight. Clean the fabric with a soft, damp cloth and avoid using harsh chemicals. If storing the seat for long periods, ensure the frame is completely dry to maintain the integrity of the locking mechanisms.
