4. Attach Backrest: Fasten the MDF backrest panel to the upper part of the frame.
5. Final Tightening: Once all parts are in place, gradually tighten all screws evenly. Do not overtighten to avoid stripping the threads or damaging the material.

5. Operating Instructions

Using your SoBuy FST53-HGX2 bar stools is straightforward. Follow these guidelines for optimal use:

• Proper Seating: Sit centrally on the seat to distribute weight evenly. Avoid sitting on the edge or standing on the stool.
• Weight Distribution: Ensure the weight on the stool does not exceed the specified load capacity of 120 kg (264.55 lbs).
• Movement: When moving the stool, lift it by the frame rather than dragging it across the floor.
• Placement: Position the stools in a way that allows for easy access and egress without obstruction.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your bar stools:

• Cleaning: Wipe the MDF surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Frame Care: Clean the metal frame with a damp cloth. Dry immediately to prevent rust.
• Fastener Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Avoid Moisture: Do not expose the stools to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can damage the MDF and PVC coating.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Stool Wobbles:
  Solution: Place the stool on a flat surface. Loosen all assembly screws slightly. Press down firmly on the center of the seat to ensure all legs are evenly touching the floor. While maintaining pressure, re-tighten all screws evenly.
• Loose Screws:
  Solution: Regularly check and tighten all screws using the provided Allen key. Do not overtighten.
• Scratches on Floor:
  Solution: Ensure protective pads (not included) are attached to the bottom of the stool legs to prevent scratching floors.
