Operating Instructions
This chair offers several adjustable features to customize your seating experience for optimal comfort and support.
1. Seat Height Adjustment
To adjust the seat height, locate the pneumatic height adjustment lever on the right side, beneath the seat. While seated, pull the lever up to lower the seat. To raise the seat, stand up and pull the lever up. Release the lever at your desired height.
2. Armrest Height Adjustment
The armrests are height adjustable. Press the button located on the side of each armrest post and move the armrest up or down to your preferred height. Release the button to lock it in place. This allows you to support your shoulders and neck effectively.
3. Lumbar Support Adjustment
The chair features a pressurized lumbar support knob. Rotate this knob, typically found on the side of the chair, to increase or decrease the amount of lumbar support provided by the backrest. Adjust it to relieve pressure on your lower back.
4. Tilt and Tilt Tension Adjustment
- Tilt Lock: To enable or disable the rocking/reclining motion, use the tilt lock mechanism lever, usually located on the left side beneath the seat. Push it in to lock the chair in an upright position, or pull it out to allow tilting.
- Tilt Tension: Adjust the resistance of the tilt mechanism by turning the tilt tension adjustment knob, located at the front center beneath the seat. Turn clockwise to increase tension (requiring more force to recline) or counter-clockwise to decrease tension (allowing easier recline).

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your chair, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the chair with a damp cloth as needed for quick and easy cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and safety.
- Caster Care: Keep the dual-wheel casters free of debris (hair, dust, etc.) to ensure smooth rolling.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your chair, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Squeaking Noises: If the chair develops squeaking noises, check all assembly points and tighten any loose screws. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to moving parts or joints if the noise persists.
- Seat Sinks/Does Not Hold Height: This typically indicates an issue with the gas lift cylinder. Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully engaged. If the problem persists, the gas lift may need replacement. Contact customer support for assistance.
- Wobbling: Check that all connections, especially between the seat, backrest, and base, are securely fastened. Ensure the casters are fully inserted into the base.
