Ensure the chair is assembled on a soft, clean surface to prevent damage to components or flooring. Tighten all screws and bolts securely, but do not overtighten.

Operating Instructions

The Hansel Executive Office Chair offers various adjustments to customize your seating experience:

• Seat Height Adjustment: Locate the paddle mechanism under the seat (typically the rightmost lever). Lift the lever to raise the seat, or remain seated and lift the lever to lower the seat. Release the lever at your desired height.
• Back Angle Adjustment: Use the paddle mechanism (often the leftmost lever) to adjust the angle of the backrest. Pull the lever to recline or bring the backrest forward, then release to lock in position. This helps reduce disc pressure by changing your torso angle.
• Tilt Angle and Lock: The middle paddle mechanism controls the tilt. Push it in to lock the chair in an upright position. Pull it out to activate the rocking motion.
• Tilt Tension Adjustment: A knob located under the seat (usually at the front) allows you to increase or decrease the amount of force needed to rock or recline the chair. Turn clockwise to increase tension, counter-clockwise to decrease.
• Lumbar Support Adjustment: A pressurized knob (often on the side of the backrest or under the seat) allows you to increase or decrease the lumbar support for your lower back.
• Armrest Height Adjustment: Press the button or lever located on the side of each armrest to raise or lower them to your preferred height. Release the button/lever to lock the armrest in place.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and appearance of your office chair:

• Cleaning: For general cleaning of the LeatherSoft upholstery, use a damp cloth (DC-Damp cloth). Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
• Casters: Keep the casters clean from debris (hair, dust, etc.) to ensure smooth rolling.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the maximum weight recommendation of 250 pounds.

Troubleshooting

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

• Chair Squeaks or Wobbles: Ensure all assembly bolts are securely tightened. Lubricate moving parts if necessary with a silicone-based spray.
• Gas Lift Not Functioning: Check if the gas lift lever is fully engaged or disengaged. If the issue persists, the gas lift cylinder may need replacement.
• Casters Not Rolling Smoothly: Clean any hair or debris from the caster wheels. If damaged, casters can be replaced.
• Tilt Mechanism Issues: Verify the tilt tension knob is adjusted correctly. Ensure the tilt lock lever is in the desired position (locked or unlocked).
