2. CLAMP ASSEMBLY
You have two ways for assembling the clamp: (1) on the back or (2) on the bottom, to get the best position for you. If you choose the bottom position, you must
unscrew the two front rubber feet before you screw the clamp.
Connect the USB cable to the computer where the flight simulator software is running.
It is not necessary the calibration on windows because the device is calibrated from factory.

Adjusting the lever’s hardness
If you want you can adjust the lever’s hardness tightening the wheels (K &
J) located on the left and the right sides of the device.
Once you have adjusted the knob, move the 2 or 4 levers (all the way at
the same time, from top to bottom, at least 10 times). This operation is
necessary to distribute adequately the same strength in the 2 or 4 levers.
It is not necessary the calibration on windows because the
device is calibrated from factory but you can use the calibra-
tion Windows tab to test the device.
