Using the labels is a quick and easy way to save time when adjusting your cockpit for multiple drivers:

1. Use the etchings found on the main frame to place your removable stickers for quick and easy driving position changes. Use different colored labels for multiple drivers.

Your Fanatec Clubsport GT cockpit is manufactured to be robust and sturdy during use. However, by following basic care and maintenance steps, you can improve the longevity and performance of your cockpit.

1. Before each use of your cockpit, ensure that all the bolts clamping the pedal assembly in place are secure.
2. Routinely (at least once every two weeks) check the bolts securing the seat brackets, wheelbase, and pedals to ensure they are secure.
3. To protect the finish of the cockpit, always sufficiently loosen the cam levers and bolts that secure all adjustable parts when using to prevent scraping or cosmetic damage.
4. To protect the seat, do not place sharp or heavy items on the upholstered sections.
5. To clean your cockpit, use a clean, dry microfiber cloth or a vacuum with a soft bristle attachment.
6. Use caution when adjusting seating position to ensure the seat is positioned in the corresponding slots on either side of the seat, and the tracks are free from debris or fingers when sliding the seat.
7. To protect your seat, do not place heavy items on the upholstered sections.
8. Ensure a clutter-free environment before use and check to ensure cables are secure.

All Fanatec racing cockpits have a 2-year warranty.
