The MOZA R9 Direct Drive Wheel Base is a high-performance racing wheel designed for PC users, offering an immersive and realistic simulated driving experience. This manual provides comprehensive guidance on its installation, operation, and maintenance, emphasizing safety precautions and optimal usage practices.
The MOZA R9 is a direct drive wheel base, meaning the steering wheel is directly connected to the motor, providing highly accurate and powerful force feedback. This design ensures a more realistic and responsive feel compared to traditional gear or belt-driven systems. The wheel base supports an infinite turning angle, allowing for a full range of motion that mimics real-world racing vehicles. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with the MOZA Pit House software, which serves as a central hub for managing all connected MOZA devices, customizing settings, and launching games.
The MOZA Pit House software allows users to adjust various parameters, including the wheel base angle, force feedback intensity, and settings for connected pedals and steering wheels. A key feature of the software is the innovative "road feeling equalizer system," which enables users to fine-tune the steering wheel's road feedback according to their personal preferences and the specific virtual track environments. This level of customization enhances the immersion and allows drivers to tailor their experience to different racing scenarios. Additionally, the software provides control over the steering wheel's shift indicator light, allowing users to select colors and set the timing for color changes based on their shifting habits.
The MOZA R9 is part of an expandable ecosystem, with the MOZA Pit House software facilitating easy upgrades to the entire MOZA Racing suite. This ensures users can always enjoy the latest functional experiences and improvements across all their MOZA devices. The system also supports quick adjustments to pedal stroke, enriching the foot feel and catering to individual needs.
The MOZA R9 is designed for ease of use, with a straightforward installation process. It connects to a simulator bracket via four screw holes at the bottom, and a desktop clamping device will be provided for alternative mounting. Connectivity to a PC is established via a USB cable, while power is supplied through a dedicated power cable connected to a 220V power socket. The device features a power button for simple on/off control, with a short press for power on and a long press for power off.
A crucial aspect of the MOZA R9's design is its quick release mechanism, which allows for rapid attachment and detachment of steering wheels. To attach a wheel, users align the six steel balls on the female quick release head of the steering wheel with the six grooves on the male quick release head of the base, then press the quick release towards the panel. The mechanism automatically locks into place. For removal, users simply pinch the golden part of the quick release with both hands and pull the disk surface out simultaneously. This feature is particularly useful for racers who frequently switch between different steering wheels for various racing disciplines.
The MOZA R9 is intended for users aged 16 and older due to its powerful force feedback and the presence of small parts. It is crucial to handle the device with care, especially given its weight, to prevent injury. The manual strongly recommends wearing racing gloves to protect hands and preserve the steering wheel grip during use. During gameplay, users should always maintain both hands on the wheel and avoid placing fingers or arms in the openings of the racing wheel to prevent accidental injury from the powerful force feedback.
Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the MOZA R9. The device should be kept in a dry location, away from dust and direct sunlight. It is critical not to expose the wheel base to rain or humidity to prevent fire or electric shock. The recommended indoor temperature for operation is between 15°C and 35°C. To prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance, it is advised that a single operation time does not exceed one hour, with a 20-minute break recommended if this limit is exceeded. Excessive use, beyond two hours a day, may pose health risks.
Ventilation is key for the MOZA R9. Users must ensure that the air vents on the wheel base are not obstructed. For good ventilation, the base should not be placed in tight spaces, should not be covered, and should be installed at least 10-15 cm away from any wall surfaces. Regular checks for dust buildup on the air vents are also recommended.
Regarding power supply, it is imperative to use only the power supply cable provided by MOZA. Connecting a power supply with a different voltage or a non-original power supply, even if compatible, is strictly prohibited. The power supply cable should be well inserted into the power socket and properly connected to the wheel base. If the power supply cable or its connectors are damaged, split, or broken, or show signs of mishandling, it should not be used. Users should never connect or disconnect the power supply to the back of the base if it is already powered by the 220V mains socket. When the device is not in use, the power supply should always be disconnected from the 220V socket. To safely disconnect the power supply from the base, users should first unplug it from the 220V power socket, wait for the power LED to turn off, and then remove the connector from the base.
The MOZA R9 is not user-repairable. Any repairs must be carried out by the manufacturer, an authorized representative, or a qualified technician. Disassembling the device will void the warranty. In case of abnormal operation, such as unusual sounds, heat, or odors, users should immediately stop using the device, unplug the power supply cable, and disconnect other cables. It is also important to avoid pouring any liquid on the product or its connectors, short-circuiting the product, or pulling/twisting the connectors and cables. Only gear systems, attachment systems, and accessories specified by the manufacturer should be used with the MOZA R9.
The manual also highlights environmental protection recommendations, urging users in the European Union to dispose of the product at designated collection points for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment for recycling, rather than with standard household waste. This promotes the recycling of materials and contributes to environmental protection. The product comes with a warranty from France Simulateur SARL, covering defects in materials and fabrication for a period of two years from the date of delivery in the European Union. The warranty does not cover damages resulting from improper or abusive use, modifications, accidents, or commercial use.
