Operating Instructions
Your Lorell High-Back Mesh Chair offers several adjustable features to customize your seating experience for optimal comfort and support.
- Pneumatic Seat-Height Adjustment:
To raise the seat, lift the lever on the right side of the chair while taking your weight off the seat. To lower the seat, lift the lever while seated. The seat height can be adjusted from 18 inches to 21-3/4 inches.
- Seat and Back Angle Adjustment:
The seat and back angles can be adjusted independently. Locate the levers on the left side of the chair. One lever controls the seat tilt, and the other controls the backrest tilt. Lift the desired lever, adjust to your preferred angle, and release the lever to lock the position.
- Ratchet Back Adjustment:
The backrest features a ratchet mechanism for vertical height adjustment. While seated, lift the backrest upwards in increments until it clicks into the desired height. To lower, lift the backrest to its highest point, and it will release to its lowest position, allowing you to re-adjust.
- Two-Way Adjustable Armrests:
The armrests can be adjusted in two ways: height and pivot. To adjust height, press the button on the side of the armrest support and slide the armrest up or down. Release the button to lock. To pivot, simply rotate the armrest pad left or right.
- 360-Degree Swivel:
The chair is equipped with a 360-degree swivel function, allowing for full rotation without moving the base. This feature provides convenience and flexibility in your workspace.
- Dual-Wheel Casters:
The 50mm hooded, dual-wheel casters provide easy mobility across various floor surfaces. Ensure the casters are clean and free of debris for smooth movement.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your Lorell High-Back Mesh Chair.
- Cleaning: Spot clean the fabric-upholstered seat and mesh backrest as needed. Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Caster Care: Periodically check the dual-wheel casters for hair, dust, or debris that may impede smooth movement. Clean them as necessary.
- Fastener Check: Every few months, inspect all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if loose, but do not overtighten.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or degradation of the fabric and plastic components.
