5. Operating Instructions (Adjustments)
Your Mayer Swivel Chair offers several adjustment options to customize your seating experience for optimal comfort and support.
- Seat Height Adjustment: Locate the lever on the right side beneath the seat. Pull the lever up to raise the seat. To lower, pull the lever up while seated. Release the lever at the desired height. The seat height range is approximately 47-56 cm.
- Backrest Tilt and Lock: The chair features a synchronous mechanism. Use the lever on the left side beneath the seat to adjust the backrest tilt. Pull the lever out to allow the backrest to recline freely. Push the lever in to lock the backrest in an upright or reclined position.
- Individual Weight Adjustment: A knob located beneath the seat (usually at the front or center) allows you to adjust the tension of the backrest tilt. Turn clockwise to increase tension (for heavier users) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (for lighter users).
- Seat Depth Adjustment: Some models feature a seat depth adjustment. Look for a lever or button on the side of the seat. Activate it to slide the seat forward or backward, then release to lock.
- Armrest Adjustment: The armrests are height and depth adjustable. Locate the buttons or levers on the armrests. Press or lift to adjust the height, and slide the armrest pad forward or backward for depth adjustment. Release to lock.
- Headrest Adjustment: The headrest can be adjusted for both height and inclination. Gently pull or push the headrest to move it up or down, and tilt it to find your preferred angle.
- Lumbar Support Adjustment: The chair includes height-adjustable lumbar support. Locate the mechanism on the backrest and slide it up or down to position the support correctly for your lower back.
6. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Mayer Swivel Chair.
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains on fabric, use a mild upholstery cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Casters: Keep casters free of hair and debris to ensure smooth rolling.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading of fabric and plastic components.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chair does not adjust height. | Gas lift cylinder is faulty or not properly seated. | Ensure the gas lift is fully inserted into the base and mechanism. If the issue persists, the gas lift may need replacement. |
| Chair wobbles. | Loose screws or uneven floor. | Check and tighten all assembly screws. Ensure the chair is on a flat, level surface. |
| Casters do not roll smoothly. | Debris caught in casters. | Turn the chair over and remove any hair, dust, or debris from the caster wheels. |
| Backrest does not recline or lock. | Tilt mechanism is locked or tension is too high. | Ensure the tilt lock lever is disengaged. Adjust the tilt tension knob counter-clockwise to reduce tension. |
