Operating Instructions

Your La-Z-Boy Sutherland chair features several adjustable functions to customize your seating experience.

Recline and Tilt Tension Adjustment

The chair features a swivel tilt mechanism. To adjust the recline, locate the left tab beneath the seat. Flip this tab downwards to unlock the recline function. To adjust the tilt tension, twist the knob located at the front center, beneath the seat. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).

Swivel Function

The chair is designed with a 360-degree swivel function, allowing for easy rotation without moving the base.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Spot clean the faux leather upholstery as needed. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain stability and safety.
• Casters: Keep casters free of debris to ensure smooth gliding.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the faux leather to fade or crack.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your chair, refer to the following common solutions:

• Chair is Wobbly: Ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. Check that the gas lift is securely seated in the base and mechanism plate.
• Chair Does Not Adjust Height: Verify that the height adjustment lever is functioning correctly and not obstructed. Ensure the gas lift cylinder is properly installed.
• Chair Does Not Recline: Check that the recline lock lever is in the unlocked position. Adjust the tilt tension knob to a looser setting.
• Casters Not Rolling Smoothly: Inspect casters for hair, dust, or other debris that may be obstructing movement. Clean as necessary.
