Operating Instructions

Your La-Z-Boy Winston chair is designed with several adjustable features to enhance comfort and support.

1. Seat Height Adjustment

To adjust the seat height, locate the lever on the right side, beneath the seat. While seated, pull the lever up to lower the seat. To raise the seat, stand up and pull the lever up. Release the lever at the desired height.

2. Tilt and Tilt Tension Control

The chair features a swivel-tilt mechanism. To enable tilting, pull the lever on the left side, beneath the seat, outwards. To lock the chair in an upright position, push the lever inwards.

Adjust the tilt tension by rotating the large knob located at the front, under the seat. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).

3. Swivel Function

The chair is equipped with a 360-degree swivel function, allowing for easy rotation and access to your workspace.

4. Lumbar and Head Support

The chair's design provides integrated lumbar and head support for enhanced ergonomic comfort during extended periods of sitting.

Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and appearance of your executive chair.

• Cleaning: Spot clean the bonded leather upholstery as needed. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the material.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Casters: Keep casters free of debris (hair, dust, etc.) to ensure smooth rolling.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the bonded leather to fade or crack.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your chair.

• Chair Squeaks:

  Check and tighten all assembly bolts. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to moving metal parts, avoiding contact with upholstery.

• Chair Does Not Roll Smoothly:

  Inspect casters for trapped debris such as hair or carpet fibers. Clean them thoroughly. Ensure the chair is used on an appropriate surface (e.g., a chair mat for carpeted floors).
• Difficulty Reclining or Tilting:

  Adjust the tilt tension knob. Turn it counter-clockwise to decrease tension, making it easier to recline. Ensure the tilt lock lever is disengaged (pulled outwards).

• Chair Feels Unstable:

  Verify that all assembly bolts are securely tightened. Ensure the chair is on a flat, level surface.
