Operating Instructions
Your SONGMICS OBN22BK chair features several adjustment options to enhance your comfort and support.
1. Height Adjustment
To adjust the chair's height, locate the lever on the right side, underneath the seat. While seated, pull the lever upwards to raise the chair. To lower the chair, remain seated and pull the lever upwards. Release the lever at your desired height.
2. Tilt Mechanism and Tension Adjustment
The chair features a tilt mechanism that allows the seat and backrest to recline synchronously up to 15 degrees. To activate the tilt function, pull the same lever (on the right side, under the seat) outwards. Push the lever inwards to lock the chair in an upright position.
To adjust the tilt tension, rotate the round knob located underneath the front of the seat. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).

Maintenance
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the chair with a soft, damp cloth. For spot cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a clean cloth, then wipe dry. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Mesh Care: The breathable mesh backrest can be gently wiped with a damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing or using sharp objects that could damage the mesh.
- Caster Maintenance: Periodically check the casters for accumulated dust, hair, or debris. Clean them to ensure smooth movement.
- Screw Tightness: Over time, screws may loosen. Regularly check all assembly screws (every 3-6 months) and retighten them to ensure the chair remains stable and safe.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chair does not adjust height. | Gas lift cylinder is faulty or lever is not fully engaged. | Ensure the height adjustment lever is pulled completely. If the issue persists, the gas lift may need replacement. Contact support. |
| Chair is wobbly or unstable. | Screws are loose or parts are not fully assembled. | Check and tighten all assembly screws. Ensure the gas lift is fully inserted into the base and seat mechanism. |
| Casters do not roll smoothly. | Debris (hair, dust) caught in casters or casters are damaged. | Clean any debris from the caster wheels. If damaged, casters may need replacement. |
| Chair makes squeaking noises. | Loose connections or friction between parts. | Tighten all screws. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to moving parts or connections if necessary. |
