4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning Instructions
For general cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the leather and wood surfaces. For spills or stains on the leather, spot wash immediately with a clean, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather and finish.
4.2 General Care
- Keep the chair away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading and drying of the leather.
- Avoid placing sharp objects on the leather to prevent punctures or tears.
- Regularly check and tighten any loose fasteners to ensure stability.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your BarcaLounger Jacque Reclining Pedestal Chair, please refer to the following general advice:
- Reclining Mechanism Not Engaging: Check if the lever is fully engaged or disengaged. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the mechanism from moving freely.
- Squeaking Noises: Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to moving metal parts if squeaking occurs. Avoid oil-based lubricants on wood.
- Stability Issues: Verify that all assembly bolts are securely tightened. Ensure the chair is placed on a flat, even surface.
