5. Operating Instructions

The TD Lux 10 Executive Chair offers several adjustment features for personalized comfort:

  • Seat Height Adjustment:

    Locate the lever on the right side, under the seat. To raise the seat, lift the lever while taking your weight off the seat. To lower the seat, lift the lever while seated. Release the lever at the desired height.

    Adjustable height range: 420 mm - 550 mm (16.5 inches - 21.65 inches).

  • Knee-Rocker Mechanism (Tilt Function):

    Pull the lever on the left side, under the seat, outwards to unlock the tilt. Push the lever inwards to lock the tilt in an upright position.

  • Tilt Tension Adjustment:

    Rotate the round knob located under the front of the seat. Turn clockwise to increase tilt tension (making it harder to recline) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).

6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your chair:

  • Cleaning:

    For the faux leather upholstery, wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution if necessary, then wipe dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the material.

    For chrome-plated parts, use a soft cloth and a non-abrasive chrome cleaner. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.

  • Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain stability and safety.
