Hiya Everyone!
This blog is for all of our new wheel and winder owners.
As a new Daedalus owner the first thing you'll want to do is head over to our Warranty Page to register your device. If you are purchasing your wheel second hand the warranty does not transfer but we do recommend filling out the warranty registration form that way we can update our database with who currently owns the wheel.
Next up is to make sure you read over your manual. Your wheel and/or winder may have come with a manual but if it didn't you can find our PDF manuals here. We also have PDF manuals for our Speed Controller and Battery. We highly recommend downloading all of your manuals and reading them over to ensure you know everything about your Daedalus product. You can download your manuals by going to the FAQ page and then click the "Download Manuals" button to be taken to the manuals section of the page.
When setting up your wheel for the first time you'll need to put together your first tension belt. We have step-by-step instructions in the manual with photos but if you need to see larger photos we also have the same information available in our blog with images that can be viewed larger when clicked on.
Please also note that the Kevlar (yellow) tension belts are only to be used on aluminum whorl surfaces only. Do not use Kevlar on plastic surfaces.
