Troubleshooting

Wobbling or instability during use

Ensure all frame bolts are fully tightened. Verify the cockpit is on a level surface. Check that the wheel and pedal mounts are securely fastened.

Difficulty mounting a specific wheel or pedal set

Consult the GR300 manual and the manual for your specific racing peripheral. Verify that your peripheral is listed on the compatibility list. Adjust the mounting plates to their maximum range of motion if needed.

Seat adjustment mechanism is stiff

Ensure no cables or obstructions are interfering with the seat glides or recline mechanism. Lightly lubricate the adjustment rails if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines for seat materials.
