Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Lorell Soho Task Chair.

• Casters: Periodically check the dual-wheel casters for hair or debris that may impede smooth rolling. Clean as necessary.
• Hardware: Regularly inspect all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
