- Syncing to SimuCUBE:
- Discovery Mode: Turn on the wheel by pressing the power button. The wheel enters discovery mode and announces itself to the SimuCUBE base for 30 seconds.
- Manual Selection (First Time Connection): Select the wireless button plate module from the SimuCUBE configuration software (True Drive). Double-click the device name to establish the connection.
- Automatic Connection: Check the "connect automatically to paired devices" box. The wheel will connect as soon as it enters discovery mode or by pressing both paddles for 5 seconds.
- Closing Connection: Press both paddle shifters for 5 seconds or simply turn off the wheel.
- Steering Wheel Status (Blinking LED on page 3):
- Discovery Mode: Continuous blinking at a high frequency.
- Connected to SimuCUBE: 3 blinks at a medium frequency.
- Disconnected from SimuCUBE: 10 blinks at a slow frequency.
- Battery Information and LED Indicator Status (on page 3):
- Off: Battery OK.
- Red: Battery low, needs recharging (approximately 2 hours of use remaining).
- Blue: Battery fully charged.
- Charging: Connect the steering wheel to your PC using the provided coiled cable. The wheel connector is keyed and fits only one way. Secure the plug by turning the retaining ring until it stops rotating, without applying excessive force.
- Wheel Installation: The universal hub on the back of the wheel body allows for installation of various adapters or direct connection to an FFB base. Both 70mm and 50.8mm bolt patterns are supported. Through holes are rotated by 180°, which might require flipping your adapter. Refer to your adapter or motor manufacturer for compatibility.
- Paddles Adjustment:
- Length Adjustment: Loosen the two highlighted screws and slide the carbon paddle forward/backward.
- Reach Adjustment: Loosen the two highlighted screws on the front and the two on the opposite side of the shifter. Rotate the lever body upwards/downwards. Some force may be needed.
- Useful Tips:
- Sticker Application: Each wheel comes with stickers and plastic tweezers. Ensure the surface is clean before applying stickers. Black and white long labels are designed for dial setting names.
- USB Cable Installation: Wrap the USB coiled cable loosely on your FFB motor shaft/adapter to prevent strain during full opposite steering rotations.
- Adjusting Shift Paddles Activation Point:
- Introduction: While wheels are tested, adjustment may be needed for optimal use.
- Accessing Trimmers: Remove the two Torx screws on the back of the wheel.
- Adjustment Procedure: Insert a small Philips screwdriver into the screw hole (about 10mm below the surface) until it engages the trimmer. Press the paddle and hold it. Rotate the trimmer slowly clockwise or anticlockwise until the corresponding downshift (9) or upshift (10) button activates in the SimuCUBE properties panel. Do not force rotation if end points are reached. Release the shifter, remove the screwdriver, and check functionality. Repeat for the other paddle if needed. Replace Torx screws after calibration.
Maintenance Features:
- General Safety Notice:
- Read the manual carefully.
- Do not open the racing wheel to avoid voiding the warranty.
- Keep the product away from rain, moisture, and liquids (e.g., vape, cups).
- Turn off the steering wheel if not in use for a long time.
- Contact hello@cubecontrols.com for problems; do not attempt self-repair.
- Shifters Maintenance:
- Lubrication: If paddles don't return freely, apply a small drop of lubricant (sewing machine oil or similar) once a year to the points where the lever body touches the shifter base when pressed down. Also, apply a small drop to the contact point of the stainless steel pin.
- Prohibited Products: Do not use spray products like WD40 or similar.
