Operating and Adjustments

The Tempur-Pedic TP4000 chair offers multiple adjustment features to customize your seating experience for optimal comfort and support.

• Pneumatic Seat Height Adjustment:

  Locate the lever on the right side, beneath the seat. Pull the lever upwards to raise the seat. While seated, pull the lever upwards to lower the seat. Release the lever at the desired height.

• Armrest Adjustments:

  The armrests are width and height adjustable. To adjust height, locate the button or lever on the side of the armrest support. Press it and move the armrest up or down. To adjust width, the armrests can be moved outward to accommodate larger frames. Specific mechanism details may vary, refer to visual cues on your chair.

• Tilt Control Options:

  This chair features a range of tilt-control options including independent pan tilt, back tilt, and a forward tilt option. Levers located beneath the seat control these functions. Experiment with each lever to find your preferred recline and tilt settings. One lever typically locks/unlocks the tilt, while another adjusts the tension.

• Back Height Adjustment:

  The backrest can be adjusted in height, often through a 5-step ratcheting assembly. To adjust, lift the backrest firmly upwards until it clicks into the next desired position. To reset to the lowest position, lift it to its highest point, then it will drop down. Then you can re-adjust upwards.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and appearance of your Tempur-Pedic TP4000 chair.

• Cleaning: The fabric upholstery should be spot cleaned. Use a mild detergent and a damp cloth to gently clean soiled areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Casters: Periodically check the casters for hair or debris that may impede smooth rolling. Clean as necessary.
• Fasteners: Routinely check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability and safety.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your chair, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Chair Sinks or Does Not Hold Height:

  This typically indicates an issue with the gas lift cylinder. Contact customer support for assistance or replacement parts.

• Difficulty Adjusting Levers:

  Ensure no weight is applied to the seat or backrest when attempting to adjust. Check for any obstructions around the levers. If levers remain stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant may be applied to moving parts, avoiding contact with fabric.
• Chair Wobbles or Feels Unstable:

  Check all assembly bolts and screws, especially those connecting the seat to the mechanism and the base to the gas lift. Tighten any loose connections. Ensure the casters are fully inserted into the base.

• Casters Not Rolling Smoothly:

  Remove any hair, dust, or debris wrapped around the caster wheels. Clean the wheels and axles. If the issue persists, casters may need replacement.
