Operating Instructions
Your Serta Fairbanks Executive Office Chair offers several adjustment features to customize your seating experience for optimal comfort and ergonomic support.
- Height Adjustment: Locate the lever on the side of the chair, beneath the seat. Lift this lever up to raise the chair height. To lower the chair, remain seated and lift the lever. Release the lever at your desired height.
- Recline Adjustment: Pull the lever on the side of the chair (opposite the height adjustment lever, or the same lever if it has dual function) outwards to unlock the recline mechanism. Lean back to recline. To lock the recline position, push the lever back in.
- Tilt Tension Adjustment: A knob located underneath the seat, typically at the front, controls the tilt tension. Turn the knob clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) or counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).
- 360° Swivel and Mobility: The chair is equipped with 360° motion casters, allowing for easy movement and rotation across various surfaces, including carpeted areas.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and appearance of your Serta office chair.
- Cleaning: The bonded leather upholstery should be spot cleaned only. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water for spills or stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and safety.
- Caster Care: Keep the casters free of debris (hair, dust, etc.) to ensure smooth rolling.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Serta Fairbanks Executive Office Chair, consider the following general advice:

- Casters Not Rolling Smoothly: Inspect casters for trapped debris (e.g., hair, lint) and clean them thoroughly.
