Operating Instructions
The Genesis Nitro 950 Gaming Chair offers several adjustment features to customize your seating experience.
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 slightly and pull the lever up. Release the lever at the desired height to lock it in place.
2. Backrest Recline Adjustment
The backrest can be reclined up to 165 degrees. Locate the recline lever on the right side of the chair, near the seat. Pull the lever up to release the backrest lock, then lean back to the desired angle. Release the lever to lock the backrest in position.
3. Armrest Adjustment
The armrests are four-way adjustable. Depending on the specific model, adjustments may include height, forward/backward, left/right swivel, and inward/outward angle. Locate the buttons or levers on the armrests to unlock and adjust them. Press or lift the control, move the armrest to the desired position, and release to lock.
4. Rocker and Locking Function (Frog Mechanism)
The chair is equipped with an advanced mechanism that allows for a rocking motion and the ability to lock the chair in any position. To enable rocking, pull out the lever located on the left side, beneath the seat. To disable rocking and lock the chair in an upright or reclined position, push the lever back in.
5. Lumbar and Headrest Cushion Positioning
The ergonomic headrest and lumbar cushion are filled with memory foam for comfort. Adjust their position by sliding them along the straps on the backrest to find optimal support for your neck and lower back.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps prolong the life and appearance of your Genesis Nitro 950 Gaming Chair.
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For ecological leather, use a mild soap solution if necessary, then wipe dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and bolts, especially after initial assembly and every few months, to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as needed to maintain stability.
- Casters: Keep casters free of hair, dust, and debris to ensure smooth movement.
- Gas Lift: Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the gas lift cylinder. It contains pressurized gas.
