Operating Instructions

The Realspace MFTC 200 chair offers multiple adjustment features for personalized comfort and support.

Seat Height Adjustment

Locate the lever on the right side, typically the front-most lever. To raise the seat, lift the lever while taking your weight off the seat. To lower the seat, lift the lever while remaining seated.

Seat and Back Tilt Adjustment

The chair features adjustable and lockable tilt for both the seat and back. Use the levers located under the seat to control these functions. One lever typically controls the tilt tension, allowing you to adjust the ease of reclining. Another lever will lock the tilt in your desired position.

Arm Height Adjustment

The armrests are adjustable to alleviate strain on your arms and shoulders. Look for a button or lever on the side of each armrest. Press or lift it to unlock the armrest, then slide the armrest up or down to your preferred height. Release the button/lever to lock it in place.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Realspace MFTC 200 chair, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the mesh and fabric.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all bolts, screws, and moving parts to ensure they are secure and functioning correctly. Re-tighten any loose fasteners.
• Casters: Keep casters free of hair and debris to ensure smooth movement.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Realspace MFTC 200 chair, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Chair Sinks or Does Not Hold Height: This usually indicates an issue with the gas lift cylinder. Ensure the height adjustment lever is not stuck in the 'up' position. If the problem persists, the gas lift may need replacement.
• Chair Wobbles: Check all assembly bolts and screws, especially those connecting the seat mechanism to the seat and backrest, and the base to the gas lift. Tighten any loose connections. Ensure the casters are fully inserted into the base.
• Casters Not Rolling Smoothly: Remove any hair, dust, or debris that may be caught in the caster wheels. Lubrication is generally not required for office chair casters.
• Squeaking Noises: Apply a small amount of silicone spray to moving parts or pivot points if squeaking occurs. Avoid oil-based lubricants on plastic components.
