XLERATOR WHEEL STAND INSTRUCTIONS
XL20 Regular and XL21 Big Boy Wheel Stands for Logitech G25/27
ASSEMBLY
To assemble your new stand, carefully unwrap stand parts. Easiest to cut tape, but take care not to cut powder coating.
You will need a 10mm, 13mm and 7/16” 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” bare 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.

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 ¼” holes on both sides near rubber tips, like picture below. Use the supplied ¼-28 X 1 ½” 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 7/16” 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 (2) ¼ X ¾” flat head socket cap screws that are screwed on the adapter plate, like picture below left. Use a 4mm Hex key wrench and 7/16” 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.
  
Stand is ready to mount wheel, shifter and pedals. 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 shifter bar that is left 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) ¼-20 X ¾” 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 7/16” wrench.

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 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.
It is best to use black electrical tape to tape 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 on wires. You can loop wires up under steering wheel 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 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. 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.
