• Maximum Weight Limit: Do not exceed the maximum weight limit of 350 pounds (158 kg). Exceeding this limit may cause damage to the chair or result in injury.

• Stability: Ensure the chair is placed on a stable, level surface. Avoid using the chair on uneven ground.

• Children: Keep children away from the chair's moving parts and adjustment mechanisms.

Setup

Your Lorell LYS Soho Flip Armrest Mid-Back Leather Chair is designed for convenience and comes pre-assembled, requiring no complex setup. Follow these steps to prepare your chair for use:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the chair from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit.
2. Placement: Position the chair on a flat, stable surface in your desired location.
3. Caster Check: Ensure all five casters (wheels) are securely attached to the chair base and can roll freely.

The chair is now ready for use.

Operating Instructions

Your Lorell LYS Soho chair offers several adjustable features to customize your seating experience. Familiarize yourself with these controls:

1. Seat Height Adjustment

To adjust the seat height:

• To Raise: While seated, lift the lever located under the right side of the seat. The seat will rise. Release the lever at the desired height.
• To Lower: While seated, lift the lever located under the right side of the seat. Apply slight body weight to the seat. The seat will lower. Release the lever at the desired height.

2. Tilt Function and Lock

The chair features a tilt mechanism allowing the backrest and seat to recline together.

• To Recline: Pull the same lever (used for height adjustment) outwards from the chair. Lean back to recline.
• To Lock Upright: Push the lever inwards towards the chair. The chair will lock in the upright position.
• Tilt Tension: A round knob located under the front-center 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).

3. Flip-Up Armrests

The armrests can be flipped up for added convenience, allowing the chair to be pushed closer to a desk or for easier entry/exit.

• To Flip Up: Grasp the armrest and rotate it upwards until it locks into a vertical position.
• To Flip Down: Gently pull the armrest downwards until it returns to its horizontal position.

4. 360-Degree Swivel

The chair's base allows for full 360-degree rotation. Simply rotate the seat in any direction as needed.

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Lorell LYS Soho chair.

• Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. For bonded leather, use a mild leather cleaner if necessary, following the product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability and safety.
• Casters: Keep casters free of hair and debris to ensure smooth rolling.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the bonded leather to fade or crack.

Troubleshooting

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

• Chair Sinks or Loses Height:
  Possible Cause: The gas lift cylinder may be faulty or worn.
  Solution: Contact customer support for a replacement gas lift. Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully engaged.
• Chair Squeaks or Creaks:
  Possible Cause: Loose bolts or friction between components.
  Solution: Tighten all visible bolts and screws, especially those connecting the seat and backrest to the mechanism. A small amount of silicone spray on moving metal parts (avoiding upholstery) may help.
• Casters Not Rolling Smoothly:
  Possible Cause: Debris (hair, lint) caught in the casters.
  Solution: Turn the chair over and carefully remove any obstructions from the caster wheels.
• Armrests Do Not Flip Up/Down Smoothly:
  Possible Cause: Mechanism obstruction or wear.
  Solution: Check for any obstructions around the armrest pivot points. Ensure the mechanism is clean.
