SIM LAB PP A5 Push Pull Shifter
BEFORE YOU START
Thank you for your purchase. In this manual we will provide you with the means
to get started using your new shifter!
Allowing you to shift rally style, you always know where your shifter is in
relation to your wheel. Thanks to the quick disconnect lever it is easy to
make adjustments. The quick disconnect lever allows for a very rigid solution
while really locking down your preferred config
PUSH/PULL SHIFTER
Features:
Rally style shifting
Support for different hardware
Adjustable in length and angle
Aluminum construction
Hall-sensor activated
Carbon fiber paddles
Quick disconnect lever
Preparation
Depending on your hardware; Fanatec (A3) or Simucube/ALPHA/MIGE (A4), a
different mounting plate must be fitted.
Mounting such a plate is very straightforward and uses four countersunk bolts.
Installation
The installation of the Push/Pull Shifter (PPS) is fairly straight forward.
Loosen existing bolts on your motor and mount, use these to attach the adapter
plate to your front mount.
X1-Pro owners can use the accessory mounting holes on the X1-Pro front mount.
For Fanatec users, appropriate bolts (A9) are supplied.
Configuration
Depending on your setup, there might some configuration needed to make the PPS
fit your setup. We included 3 different ams to be able to adjust the
positioning of the paddle in relation to your wheel.
If arms (F) fitted out of the box need to be swapped, first rotate the lever
(L) upwards and loosen the nut (N). Now you can disconnect the complete
shifter body along with the arms and swap them with your preferred arms
(A5/6).
With the new arms in place, some tweaking is still possible to suit your
needs. When re-assembling, don’t tighten the nut (N) completely, the lever (L)
will clamp down on the system to tighten everything. When there is still play
after you have clamped down the lever, release the lever and adjust the
tension of the nut and try again.
There are different means of adjustment possible, depending on the part.
Most adjustments can be made loosening the bolts which hold the arms and rotating the locking lever upwards. Be sure to tighten bolts securely and double check after the first use if they are still tight. Here is how we achieved our setup to work with a deep dish wheel.
Initial calibration
Press and hold the calibration button (C) until its LED starts blinking. Now the unit is in calibration mode. Shift up (pull) and down (push) a couple of times. When you are done, press the calibration button (C) one last time. Now the device has been calibrated and ready for use.
