Operating Instructions

Your Staples Tarance Task Chair offers several adjustments for personalized comfort:

• Seat Height Adjustment: Locate the lever on the right side beneath the seat. Pull the lever up to raise the seat; release it at the desired height. To lower, pull the lever up while seated.
• Lumbar Support: The chair features height-adjustable lumbar support. Gently slide the lumbar support pad up or down on the backrest to find your preferred position.
• Tilt Tension: The round knob located under the front of the seat controls the tilt tension. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) or counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).
• Tilt Lock: Use the lever on the left side beneath the seat to lock the chair in an upright position or allow it to recline. Push the lever in to lock, pull out to unlock.
• Armrest Adjustment: The armrests are height adjustable. Press the button on the side of each armrest and slide them up or down to your desired height.
• Swivel Function: The chair is equipped with 360-degree swivel casters for easy movement.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For fabric parts, use a mild fabric cleaner as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Casters: Keep casters free of debris (hair, dust) to ensure smooth movement.

Troubleshooting

• Chair Squeaks: Check all bolts and screws for tightness. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to moving parts if necessary.
• Height Adjustment Not Working: Ensure the gas lift lever is fully engaged. If the issue persists, the gas lift cylinder may need replacement.
• Chair Wobbles: Verify that all connections are secure and the chair is on a level surface.
