The ClubSport Magnetic Paddle Module is an upgrade component for compatible Fanatec steering wheels. This document provides instructions for assembly and attachment to specific steering wheel models. Before use, ensure your wheel base and steering wheel firmware are updated via a Windows PC. The device is not intended for children under 6 and should be kept away from humidity and heat sources.

Module basic assembly
The module can be configured for different steering wheel diameters:

- For wheels larger than 28 cm (GT): Use the provided paddle plate spacers (D) and paddle spacers (E) with the GT paddles (B).
- For wheels smaller than 28 cm (Formula): Attach the Formula paddles (C) directly to the core units (A) without extra spacers.
Note that both the core units and paddles are symmetrical and can be used on either the left or right side.
Attachment procedures
The installation process varies by steering wheel model:
- ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula V2: Requires removing the rear cover, disconnecting existing cables, and replacing the standard modules with the Magnetic Paddle Module using M5x12 mm bolts.
- ClubSport Steering Wheel Universal Hub for Xbox One: Requires opening the front housing, detaching standard modules, and mounting the new units in either Position 1 (dished wheels) or Position 2 (flat wheels).
- Podium Hub: Requires removing the front cover and securing the new modules directly to the hub body.
Important: Always ensure connector plugs are oriented correctly before reattaching covers to avoid damage.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the device only with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaning solutions. Do not drop objects on the magnets or rub them against surfaces to prevent scratches. Unauthorized disassembly will void the warranty.
