Safety Information
- Weight Capacity: This product has a maximum weight capacity of 110 kg (approximately 242 lbs). Do not exceed this limit to ensure stability and prevent damage.
- Floor Surface: The chair is recommended for use on hard floors.

- Assembly: The chair is delivered pre-assembled. No user assembly is required, which reduces potential risks associated with self-assembly.

Operating Instructions
The MILLBERGET chair offers several adjustments to customize your seating experience.
1. Adjusting Seat Height
- To raise the seat: While standing, pull the lever located on the right side of the chair upwards. The seat will rise automatically. Release the lever when the desired height is reached.
- To lower the seat: While seated, pull the lever located on the right side of the chair upwards. The seat will lower under your weight. Release the lever when the desired height is reached.
2. Adjusting Tilt Tension
The tilt tension allows you to adjust the resistance of the chair's recline function to match your movements and weight.
- To increase tilt tension (more resistance): Turn the large knob located underneath the seat, towards the front, clockwise.
- To decrease tilt tension (less resistance): Turn the large knob located underneath the seat, towards the front, counter-clockwise.

3. Lumbar Support
The chair features built-in lumbar support designed to provide comfort and relief to your lower back. This support is integrated into the chair's design and is not manually adjustable by the user.
4. Safety Castors
The pressure-sensitive castors automatically lock when you stand up, preventing the chair from rolling away. They unlock when you sit down, allowing for free movement. No user action is required for this feature.

Maintenance
Proper care ensures the longevity and appearance of your chair.
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For best results, use a mild soap solution if necessary, then wipe dry with a clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Castors: Keep the castors free from hair, dust, and debris to ensure smooth operation and proper engagement of the safety brake mechanism.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your swivel chair.
- Chair does not roll smoothly: Check castors for accumulated debris (hair, lint). Clean them thoroughly. Ensure the chair is used on a suitable hard floor surface.
- Chair height adjustment is not working: Verify that the lever is fully engaged. If the gas lift cylinder is faulty, contact customer support for assistance.
- Chair makes squeaking noises: Check all visible screws and connections and tighten them if loose. A small amount of silicone spray on moving metal parts (avoiding plastic or fabric) might help, but consult manufacturer guidelines if unsure.
- Chair feels unstable: Ensure the chair is on a flat, level surface. Check that the five-star base is securely attached and not damaged. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity.
