Operating Instructions

Your Lorell SOHO Mesh Mid-Back Task Chair offers several adjustment features to enhance your comfort and support.

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.

Arm Height Adjustment

The armrests are adjustable. Locate the button or lever on the side of each armrest. Press or lift it to unlock the armrest, then move the armrest up or down to your preferred height. Release the button/lever to lock the armrest in position.

Synchro Tilt and Tilt Lock

This chair features a dual-action synchro tilt mechanism, allowing the backrest to recline at a 2-to-1 ratio to the seat angle, keeping the seat relatively level. To activate the tilt, pull out the lever on the left side, beneath the seat. To lock the chair in an upright position, push the lever in. To recline, ensure the lever is pulled out, then lean back. To lock the tilt at a specific angle, push the lever in at the desired recline.

Tilt Tension Adjustment

Adjust the resistance of the chair's recline by turning the round knob located at the front, under the seat. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) or counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).

360-Degree Swivel

The chair is equipped with a 360-degree swivel function, allowing for easy rotation without moving the base.

Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your chair.

• Cleaning: Spot clean the mesh and fabric surfaces with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all bolts and screws to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain stability and safety.
• Casters: Keep casters free of debris (hair, dust, etc.) to ensure smooth rolling.

Troubleshooting

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

• Chair Sinks or Won't Stay Up: This usually indicates an issue with the gas lift cylinder. Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully engaged. If the problem persists, the gas lift may need replacement.
• Chair Wobbles: Check all assembly screws and bolts, especially those connecting the seat to the mechanism and the base. Tighten any loose fasteners. Ensure the casters are fully inserted into the base.
• Casters Not Rolling Smoothly: Inspect casters for trapped debris (hair, lint, etc.) and clean them thoroughly.
• Difficulty Reclining or Locking Tilt: Verify that the tilt tension knob is not overtightened. Adjust the tilt tension to a comfortable level. Ensure the tilt lock lever is functioning correctly.
