Setup and Assembly

The STAPLES Hyken Ergonomic Office Chair requires assembly. All necessary hardware and tools are included in the packaging. For detailed, step-by-step instructions, please refer to the dedicated assembly guide provided with your chair. Assembly typically takes approximately 2 hours for one person.

Operating Instructions

Your Hyken Ergonomic Office Chair offers multiple adjustment options to customize your seating experience for optimal comfort and support.

1. Seat Height Adjustment

Locate the lever under the right side of the seat. Pull the lever upwards while seated to lower the seat, or pull it upwards while standing to raise the seat. Release the lever at your desired height.

2. Armrest Height Adjustment

Press the button located on the side of each armrest support. While holding the button, move the armrest up or down to your preferred height. Release the button to lock the armrest in place. The armrests also offer width adjustment by sliding them in or out before tightening the bolts underneath.

3. Lumbar Support Adjustment

The chair features adjustable lumbar support. Gently push the lumbar support up or down along the backrest to find the position that best supports the natural curve of your lower back.

4. Headrest Adjustment

The headrest can be adjusted for both height and angle. Move the headrest up or down to align with your neck and head. You can also tilt it forward or backward to achieve optimal comfort and support.

5. Reclining and Tilt Mechanism

The chair features a swivel-tilt mechanism with an upright tilt lock and tension knob. To recline, pull the lever (usually on the left side) outwards. To lock the chair in an upright position, push the lever inwards. The tilt tension knob, located underneath the seat, allows you to adjust the resistance of the recline. Turn it clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) or counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).

6. Mobility

The chair is equipped with sturdy carpet casters for smooth rolling across various office surfaces, including carpet and hardwood.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your STAPLES Hyken Ergonomic Office Chair, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the mesh fabric or frame.
• Mesh Material: The 100% mesh fabric is breathable and durable, providing comfort in various temperatures. It allows for air circulation, reducing heat buildup during extended use.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they are secure. Tighten if necessary.

Troubleshooting

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

• Squeaking Noises: Check and tighten all screws and bolts. Applying a small amount of silicone lubricant to moving parts may help.
• Difficulty Adjusting Height: Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully engaged or disengaged. Check for any obstructions under the seat.
• Unstable Chair: Verify that all legs are properly attached and all fasteners are tightened. Ensure the chair is on a flat, even surface.
• Recline Issues: Check the tilt tension knob. If the chair is too stiff or too loose, adjust the tension accordingly. Ensure the tilt lock is disengaged if you wish to recline.
