3.2. Assembly Steps
- Attach Casters to Base: Insert each of the five casters into the holes at the end of each leg of the 5-star base. Push firmly until they click into place.
- Insert Gas Lift: Place the gas lift cylinder into the center hole of the assembled base.
- Attach Mechanism Plate to Seat: Align the mechanism plate with the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the seat cushion. Ensure the front of the mechanism faces the front of the seat. Secure with bolts and washers using the provided Allen wrench.
- Attach Armrests to Seat: Secure the armrests to the sides of the seat cushion using the appropriate bolts. Do not fully tighten until the backrest is attached.
- Attach Backrest to Seat/Armrests: Align the backrest with the seat and armrests. Secure the backrest to the seat and armrests using the remaining bolts. Once all bolts are in place, fully tighten all armrest and backrest bolts.
- Connect Seat Assembly to Gas Lift: Carefully place the assembled seat and backrest onto the gas lift cylinder, ensuring the center hole of the mechanism plate aligns with the top of the gas lift. Press down firmly to secure.

4. Operating Instructions
Your Benzara Sporty Executive Office Chair offers several adjustments for personalized comfort.
- Seat Height Adjustment: Locate the lever on the right side, beneath the seat. To raise the seat, lift the lever while taking your weight off the chair. To lower the seat, lift the lever while seated. Release the lever at the desired height.
- Tilt/Recline Function: The chair features a tilt mechanism. Pull out the lever on the left side (or the same lever as height, depending on model) to allow the chair to recline. Push the lever in to lock the chair in an upright position.
- Tilt Tension Adjustment: A round knob located under the front of the seat (or on the mechanism plate) controls the tilt tension. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).
- Armrest Position: The padded armrests are fixed for stability and comfort.

5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: As per product care instructions, wipe clean the leatherette surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution and wipe dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Hardware Check: Periodically (every 3-6 months) check all bolts and screws to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and safety.
- Caster Cleaning: Remove any hair or debris that may accumulate around the casters to ensure smooth rolling.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chair wobbles or is unstable. | Loose bolts; uneven floor; damaged base. | Check and tighten all assembly bolts. Ensure chair is on a flat surface. Inspect base for damage. |
| Chair does not adjust height. | Gas lift cylinder malfunction; lever mechanism stuck. | Ensure the lever is fully engaged. If problem persists, the gas lift may need replacement. Contact support. |
| Casters do not roll smoothly. | Debris (hair, lint) caught in casters. | Turn the chair over and carefully remove any debris from the caster wheels. |
| Squeaking noises. | Loose connections; friction between parts. | Tighten all bolts. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to moving parts if necessary (avoiding fabric/leatherette). |
