Step 1: Attach Casters to Star Base

Step 2: Install Gas Lift
Place the gas lift cylinder into the center hole of the star base. Cover the gas lift with the gas lift cover.
Step 3: Attach Mechanism Plate to Seat
Align the mechanism plate with the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the seat assembly. Secure it using the provided screws and Allen wrench. Ensure the front of the mechanism plate faces the front of the seat.
Step 4: Connect Seat to Gas Lift
Carefully place the assembled seat onto the gas lift cylinder, ensuring the tapered end of the gas lift fits securely into the mechanism plate.
Step 5: Attach Backrest to Seat
Align the backrest with the mounting brackets on the seat assembly. Secure it using the remaining screws. It may be easier to attach the arms to the backrest first, then attach the backrest to the seat, as suggested by some users.

4. Operating Instructions
Your RESPAWN Fortnite Skull Trooper-V Gaming Chair offers several adjustable features for personalized comfort.
4.1. Seat Height Adjustment
To adjust the seat height, pull the lever located on the right side of the seat upwards. While holding the lever, stand up to raise the seat or remain seated and apply pressure to lower it. Release the lever to lock the height.
Figure 4: Side view illustrating the location of the height adjustment lever.
4.2. Tilt Lock and Tension Control
The same lever used for height adjustment can also lock or unlock the chair's tilt function. Push the lever inwards to lock the chair in an upright position, or pull it outwards to allow the chair to recline. The tilt tension knob, located underneath the seat at the front, can be rotated to adjust the resistance of the tilt mechanism. Turn clockwise to increase tension, counter-clockwise to decrease.
4.3. Flip-Up Padded Armrests
The armrests can be flipped up to allow for uninhibited movement or to push the chair closer to a desk. Simply lift the armrests upwards until they lock into the vertical position. To lower them, pull them down until they click into place.

4.4. 360-Degree Swivel
The chair is designed with a 360-degree swivel function, allowing for dynamic movement and easy access to different areas around your workspace without needing to reposition the entire chair.

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your gaming chair.
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For bonded leather, use a mild leather cleaner if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight. Retighten as needed.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the material to fade or crack.
- Weight Limit: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 275 lbs (125 kg).
6. Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chair wobbles or is unstable. | Loose screws or uneven assembly. | Check and tighten all screws, especially those connecting the seat to the mechanism and the backrest to the seat. Ensure the gas lift is fully seated in the base. |
