Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your executive chair.

- Casters: Periodically clean the wheels to remove dust, hair, and debris that may hinder smooth movement.
- Fasteners: Regularly check all screws and bolts for tightness and re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability and safety.
Troubleshooting

| Gas lift not adjusting height | Gas lift cylinder malfunction; lever not engaged correctly. | Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully engaged. If the issue persists, the gas lift may need replacement. Contact customer support. |
