DOF Reality H2 or P2 Assembly Instructions

Important Information before Assembly and Use

WARNING! Assembled platform will have exposed motors moving parts.

Never operate it with small children around. Protection cover sold separately.
During initial assembly don’t tighten the bolts completely, do it after everything is аssembled. Assemble the full frame and tighten the screws and bolts after.
Please check all the motor power and sensor plugs. Reconnect them if they happen to have been disconnected during shipping.
Never change the wiring. Mixing the colors to the connectors can damage the motors and platform controllers.
Don’t put ANY controllers on the platform before it is completely tested and proven to be working as desired.

After assembly, attach the seat only; nothing extra. After you ensure that the simulator is moving appropriately, you can start adding controllers one by one, doing movement tests with a person seated in a chair. This will replicate the weight distribution.

Our platform is very lightweight and simple due to its perfect weight balance. This allows us to use affordable motors and gearboxes. If you plan to put something besides standard wheel, pedals, yoke, gear shifter, throttle and HOTAS you need to plan and install it properly.

Each additional element (even if it is lightweight) connected to the moving platform should be well positioned and counter balanced. Even a light-weight screen/monitor placed on our simulator can cause problems. It is always better to consult us first, before installing any extra equipment on the platform.

Each platform control box is shipped preset to the voltage of the destination country. If you're not sure about the proper voltage settings, turn it upside-down and check ALL 2 or 3 red switches inside the box consult us.

If you not sure what bolts to use, print the following 1:1 template on corresponding paper size without extra borders or spacing:

Never ever leave the platform powered unattended and powered on when not used. Motors are constantly doing micro adjustments and can heat up.
Never allow the motors to overheat (above 70°C) as they may lose power.

3. Additional Options Mounting

Monitor mount: Assembly monitor mount DOF REALITY
HOTAS mount video: Іnstallation of brackets for HOTAS on a new frame
Mount plate for Honeycomb: Mount plate for Honeycomb to DOF REALITY
Quick Release pedal: Assembly Quick Release pedals DOF REALITY
Keyboard holder: Keyboard holder on DOF REALITY

For the Buttkicker mount, you can use the bottom of the main rail or bottom mounts same as wheel stand brackets.

For HOTAS flight sim configuration, attach the throttle mount support same way as you did the main wheel stand. You can rotate the support and move it closer or farther away. If you want to mount a joystick on the side, you need to use F-mount.
