5. Operating Instructions

Adjust your Topstar Xpander chair to achieve optimal ergonomic support:

• Seat Height Adjustment: To raise the seat, lift the lever on the right side while taking your weight off the seat. To lower, lift the lever while seated. Release the lever at the desired height. The seat height can be adjusted between 41 cm and 53 cm.
• Backrest Height Adjustment: The backrest features an 'up-and-down' ratchet system. To adjust, lift the backrest upwards until it clicks into the next position. To reset to the lowest position, lift it to its highest point, then release it to drop down.
• Synchronous Mechanism (Seat and Backrest Tilt):
  • Tilt Adjustment: Use the lever on the left side to engage or disengage the synchronous tilt. When disengaged, the seat and backrest will move together, following your body's movement.
  • Spring Force Adjustment: A knob, typically located under the seat, allows you to adjust the resistance of the tilt mechanism. Turn clockwise to increase resistance (for heavier users) and counter-clockwise to decrease resistance (for lighter users).
  • Locking Tilt: The synchronous mechanism can be locked in multiple positions. Engage the tilt, find your preferred angle, and then push the lever back to lock it.
• Armrest Height Adjustment: Press the button on the side of each armrest and slide the armrest up or down to your desired height. Release the button to lock it in place.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Topstar Xpander chair, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the mesh backrest and fabric seat, use a suitable upholstery cleaner if necessary, following the product instructions.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Castors: Keep castors clean and free of debris (hair, dust) to ensure smooth movement.
• Moving the Chair: When moving the chair, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the castors or floor.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your chair, consider the following common solutions:

• Chair Sinks or Does Not Hold Height: This often indicates a worn gas lift cylinder. Contact customer support for a replacement.
• Squeaking Noises: Check all bolted connections and tighten them. A small amount of silicone spray on moving parts (avoiding the gas lift piston) may help.
• Castors Not Rolling Smoothly: Clean any hair or debris from the castor wheels. Ensure the castors are correctly inserted into the base.
• Backrest Does Not Adjust: Check if the ratchet mechanism is engaged correctly. Try lifting the backrest to its highest point and then letting it drop to reset.
