WARNING! Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual im-
ages, including ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have
no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these „photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety
of symptoms, including light-headedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking
of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also
cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking
nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms – children
and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions:
• Sit farther from the TV screen.
• Use a smaller TV screen.
• Play in a well-lit room.
• Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
WARNING! Musculoskeletal disorders
Use of game controllers, keyboards, mice, or other electronic input devices may be linked to serious injuries or disorders. When playing video games, as with many activities, you may experience
occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. However,
if you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching,
tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS.
PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you
are not playing a video game. Symptoms such as these can be associated with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons, blood vessels,
and other parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, vibration syndromes, and other conditions.
While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general
agreement that many factors may be linked to their occurrence, including medical and physical
conditions, stress and how one copes with it, overall health, and how a person positions and
uses their body during work and other activities (including playing a video game). Some studies
suggest that the amount of time a person performs an activity may also be a factor. If you have
questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be related
to MSDs, see a qualied health professional.

Take off the assembled metal pedal plates and attach the D-shaped

5.5 Assembly of pedal extensions
The ClubSport Pedals V3i comes with attached pedal extensions on brake and
clutch. The package also contains an additional pedal extension. If you want to
use this on throttle pedal plates you can assemble it as follows:
Loosen and take out the screws marked on the picture below
(identical for every pedal lever):
Take off the assembled metal pedal plate and check for the marked
holes on throttle pedal arm sides.
Bring the pedal extension into position and decide for your target
pedal plate height and pedal plate angle in this step:
Put the screws S1 into the holes, add a washer W1 and a nut N1
on the back end of the screw S1:
You can select to go ahead with the metal pedal plates or the
D-shape pedal plates.
• If you decide to use the metal pedal plates use also the
screws S2
•
If you decide to use the D-shape pedal plates use the screws
S1.
In any case you need to add a washer W1 and a nut N1 on the
back end of the screw and tighten the screw to x it to the selected
pedal plate.
After assembly of the pedal extension at throttle, whether
using the metal pedal plate or the D-shaped plate, you need
to re-use the distance block and screws to mount the rumble
motor again at its original position as shown on picture on the
right hand side.
