Operating Instructions

The Lorell Serenity Series chair offers multiple adjustments to optimize your comfort and support.

1. Seat Height Adjustment:

To adjust the seat height, locate the lever typically found on the right side beneath the seat. While seated, lift the lever to lower the seat. To raise the seat, lift the lever while taking your weight off the seat. Release the lever at the desired height.

2. Arm Adjustments (Height, Pivot, Width):

The armrests can be adjusted for height, pivot, and width. A control button is hidden under the arm pad for these adjustments.

• Height: Press the button located on the side or underside of the armrest support and slide the armrest up or down to the desired height. Release the button to lock.
• Pivot: Some arm pads can pivot inward or outward. Gently twist the arm pad to achieve the desired angle.
• Width: The armrests can be adjusted in width. This adjustment typically involves a lever or knob located beneath the seat or on the armrest support. Adjust to provide comfortable clearance.

3. Lumbar Support Adjustment:

The chair features dynamic lumbar support that moves with you. No manual adjustment is typically required for this feature, as it is designed to adapt automatically to provide continuous support to your lower back.

4. Tilt Mechanism (Back and Seat Synchronization, Tilt Angle, Locking Positions):

The unique synchro-slide mechanism synchronizes the movement of the back and seat, allowing for a comfortable recline. The chair offers a larger back tilt angle up to 35 degrees and five locking positions with 7 degrees of adjustment for each.

• Tilt Tension: A knob, usually located under the front of the seat, controls the resistance of the tilt. Turn clockwise to increase tension (harder to recline) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (easier to recline).
• Tilt Lock: A lever, often on the left side beneath the seat, allows you to lock the chair in one of the five desired tilt positions. Push the lever in to lock the tilt, and pull it out to allow free tilting.
• Synchro-Tilt: This mechanism ensures that as the backrest reclines, the seat also tilts slightly, maintaining an open hip angle for improved circulation and comfort.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Lorell Serenity Series chair.

• Cleaning: For the leather upholstery, spot clean only. Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution for spills or stains. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and safety.
• Casters: Keep casters clean from debris (hair, dust, etc.) to ensure smooth movement.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause leather to fade or crack.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your office chair.

• Chair Sinks or Does Not Hold Height: This typically 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 or is Unstable: Check all assembly bolts and screws, especially those connecting the seat to the mechanism and the base. Tighten any loose fasteners. Ensure the casters are fully inserted into the base.
• Casters Do Not Roll Smoothly: Inspect casters for accumulated dirt, hair, or debris. Clean them thoroughly. If they are damaged, they may need replacement.
• Squeaking Noises: Squeaking can often be resolved by tightening loose bolts. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant applied to moving parts (like the tilt mechanism or gas lift connections) can also help, but avoid applying to the gas lift shaft directly.
• Tilt Mechanism Not Working: Ensure the tilt lock lever is disengaged. Check the tilt tension knob; if it's too tight, it may feel like the tilt is not working. Adjust the tension to a comfortable level.

If you encounter issues not listed here or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, please contact customer support.
