If a substantial change of wheel mounting angle is desired, it will be necessary to loosen the
pivot set screw and the tensioning pivot nut [Figures 2 & 4]. For proper performance of the
mounting system, the bracket tensioning bolt must be vertical and perpendicular to the
underside of the mounting surface.
1.5 COCKPIT MOUNTING
In addition to removable desktop mounting, the TRACKSTAR 6000 wheel unit is easily
adapted to a custom driving cockpit. When attaching the unit permanently to a fixed
framework, the table mounting bracket need not be used. The unit can be mounted directly to
the cockpit sub-frame in its upright orientation or inverted under a monitor shelf. Another
option is ECCI’s cockpit bracket available as an accessory. See ECCI’s website for ordering.
2 PEDAL UNIT ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT
2.1 ASSEMBLY SEQUENCE
1 Prepare a clean well lit area with adequate room for laying out the pedal components
[Figure 8]. In addition to the supplied hex keys you will need a pair of ½ inch open end
wrenches to complete assembly. The pedal unit is shipped in two components; the base
and the pedal frame assembly. Study the side view illustration of the assembled pedal
unit [Figure 9] before proceeding. If you have purchased a clutch pedal, refer to the clutch
installation instructions first, for they supersede the following steps.
2 In the pedal base assembly, locate the two silver diagonal struts. Remove the two bolts
holding these struts nearest the heel rest. Leave the rear bolt in place. Rotate these struts
vertically until they are tilted towards the rear of the base [Figure 10].
3 Retrieve the 6 inch long 5/16 diameter threaded rod and related nuts from the hardware
kit supplied with the pedal unit. This rod will be used to attach the pedal frame assembly
to the base at Pivot A as shown in Figure 10. Note that there are four vertical slots for this
attachment. These are used to offer a variety of positions fore-to-aft of the pedal relative
to the heel rest. If initial use will be at a typical desktop workstation, select the second slot
from the front of the unit. If initial use will be in a low-slung cockpit situation, then select a
slot further to the rear. In any case, after initial setup is completed, this position can be
changed without disassembly of the entire pedal unit.
4 Position the pedal frame vertically with its mounting holes aligned with the chosen slot in
the base unit [Figure 10, step 1].
5 Guide one end of the threaded rod through one side of the base and frame holes. Before
passing through the holes in the opposite side, twist two nuts onto the threaded rod.
Guide the rod through the opposite side holes and twist the nuts apart so they contact the
two sides of the pedal frame [Figure 11 step 2]. Makes sure the rod is centered in the
frame. Turn the nuts no more than finger-tight.
6 Place the two washers and remaining two nuts onto the threaded rod [Figure 11 step 3].
Turn the nuts down finger-tight to the frame.
7 Note that each Pivot A base mounting slot has three notched positions. These are to
adjust the vertical position of the pedals relative to the heel rest. Select the middle notch
to start with and set the threaded rod into the same position on both sides. This
