XLERATOR WHEEL STAND INSTRUCTIONS

XL20 Regular and XL21 Big Boy Wheel Stands

STAND ASSEMBLY

To assemble your new stand, carefully unwrap parts. Easiest to cut tape, but take care not to cut powder coating. A quick polishing with common car wax before assembly will make powder coating shine.

You will need a 10mm and 13mm wrench/socket. The long bent connector tube with seatpost clamps on ends, goes between the top lap bar and bottom floor bar. The long end from bend (12”) connects to the bottom part the short end from bend (9”) to the top. Insert the long end of connector tube over the short stub at top of the floor bar. Put the top lap bar slide tube (7” plated metal) into the short end of connector tube on top. Lay stand down flat on rubber tips with bend of connector tube up and get everything straight, like picture below. Then tighten both seatpost clamp nuts with 13mm wrench. Tighten the top part enough so it won’t move and you can adjust for a comfortable driving position when you sit down with it. Please don’t over tighten clamps, tighten only what you need to hold tubes, it will deform metal if over tightened.

Stand the stand up on the four rubber leg tips on the bottom part of the stand. Bolt the pedal pan to the bottom part of stand, there are drilled holes on both sides near rubber tips, like picture below. Use the supplied M6 x 35 bolts, nylon lock nuts and nylon washer. Put the nylon washers in between pan side rails and the floor bar tubes so as not to scratch powder coating. Put bolt through from the outside and nuts on the inside. Tighten bolt and lock nut with 10mm wrenches, and then back them off so the pan can move up and down and not bind.

Take the steering wheel adapter plate (welded flat piece with bar with holes sticking off the side) and bolt the wheel adapter to the top part of the stand through the lap bar ledge with the (4) M6 x 16 flat head socket cap screws like picture below left (new stand has 4 bolt holes instead of pictured two holes). Use the 4mm Hex key wrench and 10mm wrench to tighten bolts. Be sure the edges of the ledge and adapter are straight together in front and flat bar with holes in it are sticking off to the right side.

LOGITECH G25/G27 MOUNTING

For Logitech G25/G27 take the pedals and bolt them to the pedal pan using the two center holes in pan. If you stand the stand up on bottom tips you can flip the pedal pan up with pedals on the pan and put the (2) M6-1.00 X 16 bolts through the center holes and match up holes in bottom of pedals. Front of pedals will line up with front of pan. Tighten with 10mm wrench/socket. Be careful not to scratch powder coating with wrench. Set the steering wheel on the wheel adapter plate and use the (2) M6-1.00 X 16 bolts to bolt the steering wheel to the plate with the back two holes. Then clamp the wheel down with wheel clamps on front. To mount shifter, remove the plastic clamp from bottom of shifter. There are 4 Phillips head screws two are way down in the sides, middle picture above. Take the flat Logitech shifter bar and bolt it to the bottom of the G25/27 shifter with the (2) M6-1.00 X16 flat head socket cap screws. Use the countersunk holes on adapter bar to mount to shifter, like picture above right. Then mount the bar and shifter to the adapter bar sticking out to the right of wheel plate. Use the (2) M6 x 16 Socket cap screws, nuts and washers, like picture below. There are several holes for adjustment for how far you want the shifter away from wheel. Tighten the bolts up with supplied 3/16 hex key wrench and 10mm wrench.

FANATEC MOUNTING

For Fanatec you will need to take the plastic clamp mechanism out of the bottom of the steering wheel by loosening the plastic clamp nut and sliding the clamp out of the bottom of the steering wheel. Use the (4) M6 x 16 metric bolts to mount the steering wheel like the middle picture above using a 10mm wrench/socket. For Clubsport pedals use the (4) M6 x 16 bolts, flat washers and nuts use the (4) outside corner bolt holes in the pedal pan, be sure to attach wire before bolting down on underside. The stock 911 pedals will need all the rubber pads taken off the bottom for the screws supplied by Fanatec to work, stick them together and save. It is hard to line up the screws to start on 911 stock pedals. You might want to unbolt pan and lay pedals upside down, resting on front edge and pedal tips, and try to start the upper left hand screw first. It is right by a pad mount and you can see the plastic circular rim for the rubber pad through Clubsport pedal mounting hole to line up with. The screw hole is just to the upper right of the pad circle rim you can see through the hole. Then you can move the pan around to start other screws. First get screws all started then tighten them down. Attach plug-in on slot cut in pedal pan side rail. Then reattach the pedal pan. To mount shifter use the two M8 bolts and nuts supplied with the adapter and mount with jam nuts toward the wheel like picture above right. Then mount the shifter to the adapter bar sticking out to the right of wheel plate. Use the (2) M6 x 16 Socket cap screws, nuts and washers, like picture above right. There are several holes for adjustment for how far you want the shifter away from wheel. Tighten the bolts up with supplied 3/16 hex key wrench and 10mm wrench.

THRUSTMASTER T500RS MOUNTING

The Thrustmaster T500RS wheel has predrilled holes to mount to stand. But we don’t recommend using the stand for this wheel. It is a big heavy wheel and could get hurt if it were to fall over. If using Thrustmaster with this stand extra care should be taken to insure it does not fall over. The GT-Rally position bar needs to be taken off the pedals to mount to the pedal pan. Use snap ring pliers and Allen wrench to take of bar and support. Holes are predrilled in the pan for mounting pedals. Use supplied M6 X 16 bolts for mounting

STAND SET-UP

With pedals flipped up and wheel and shifter mounted to the stand, carry the setup over to chair you will be using to drive with. Sit down with stand, with the pedals dropped, loosen top seatpost clamp (13mm wrench) and move top part slide tube in and out until you get a comfortable distance to pedals and tighten nut. Same with shifter bar. Adjust so you have the comfortable distance between shifter and wheel; also adjust for chairs with arms so shifter sits right with chair arm for you. Lap bar extension tubes can be moved in and out to get a comfortable height up and down for the steering wheel.

WIRING

It is best to use black electrical tape or cable ties to fasten wires to the stand. Be sure to give room for wires so that any movement (flipping pan up or adjusting lap bar) does not pull on wires on pedals or wheel. Be sure to tape pedal wires to one side of the floor bar so pan can flip up and down without catching or pinching wires. You can loop wires up under steering wheel G25/G27 and loop under or next to pedals for Fanatec so wires are neat and you only have the power wire and wire to connect to console coming off stand.

SAFETY

WARNING please do not leave stand in upright position when done driving, small children could pull stand over on themselves. Be sure to always flip pedals down first before you sit down and pull wheel back to you, especially on Fanatec Clubsports or Thrustmaster. Be sure when storing in upright position it is in a corner or closet so it cannot get bumped and fall over. Lift stand up to get in and out but leave stand on sofa or chair when not driving. Please use caution when carrying the stand with pedals flipped up so the pedal pan does not flip open when carrying stand. Pedal pan shoes may scratch wooden or tile floors. If you have wood or tile floors get a couple stick-on nylon or fabric sliders from your local hardware store to put on underside of pedal pan corner slide shoes. Please, always use the stand safely and at your own risk.
