Installation Without Seat Sliders

1. Begin by attaching the 22” profiles to the chassis. Tighten the bolts that secure the corner gussets to the 22” profile, but leave the bolts connecting the profile to the base slightly loose for adjustment.

2. Mount the seat brackets onto the 22” profile. Align the inner edge of the bracket with the inner edge of the profile and tighten the bolts to secure them in place.

3. Carefully place the seat into the brackets. Take caution to avoid scratching the seat. If needed, adjust the distance between the 22” profiles to create more space.

4. Bolt the seat to the brackets in your preferred position, ensuring that you use the same mounting holes on both sides for proper alignment.

5. To center the seat, check that the gap between each 22” profile and the chassis base is even. It’s okay if the profiles aren’t perfectly parallel, as long as the seat is aligned and straight.

6. Done! Your rig is now ready to use.

Installation With Seat Sliders

1. Start by securing the 22” profiles to the chassis. Tighten the bolts for the corner gussets, but leave the ones attaching the profiles to the chassis a bit loose.

2. Attach the seat sliders to the seat brackets. Make sure the inside edge of each slider aligns with the inside edge of the bracket.

3. While off the rig, mount the seat slider and bracket combo onto the seat. Use the same mounting holes on each side, and be careful not to scratch the seat.

4. Ensure both seat sliders are locked in the same position.

5. Adjust the U-handle bar by bending it to better fit — either wider or narrower.

6. Carefully install the U-handle, watching your fingers during this step.

7. Place the full seat assembly onto the 22” profiles.

8. Tighten the bolts on either the front or rear side of the sliders first.

9. Move the seat forward or backward to access and tighten the remaining bolts.

10. Adjust the full seat and profile assembly left or right to center it on the chassis. Avoid scratching the profiles while moving.

11. Tighten the corner gusset bolts that were left loose earlier.

12. That’s it — your simulator rig is ready to roll!
