- Assembling the seat and backrest components.

Operating Instructions
Chair Adjustments
- Height Adjustment: Use the pneumatic lever located under the seat on the right side to raise or lower the chair. Lift the lever to raise the seat; sit on the chair and lift the lever to lower it.
- Backrest Recline: Pull the lever on the side of the seat (typically left side) to recline the backrest. Lean back to the desired angle (95° ~ 175°) and release the lever to lock it in place.
- Footrest Operation: To extend the footrest, pull the loop located under the front of the seat. The footrest will slide out. Flip it up for comfortable leg support. To retract, push it back under the seat.
- Armrest Adjustment: The armrests are designed to move with the reclining backrest.
- Lumbar Massage Function: Connect the 3 ft. USB cord from the lumbar pillow to a compatible USB power source (e.g., computer, wall adapter). Use the inline switch on the cord to activate and deactivate the vibrating massage.
Maintenance
Cleaning Instructions
- Upholstery: For general cleaning, wipe the chair's upholstery with a damp cloth. For spills or tougher stains, use a solvent and water-based cleaner, such as foam. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
- Base and Casters: Periodically wipe the 5-star nylon base and casters with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure casters are free of hair or obstructions for smooth movement.
- General Care: Avoid exposing the chair to direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent fading. Keep sharp objects away from the upholstery to prevent punctures or tears.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Flash Furniture X40 Gaming Chair, please consult the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Chair not adjusting height: Ensure the pneumatic lever is fully engaged. If the issue persists, the gas lift may need replacement.
- Backrest not reclining/locking: Check that the recline lever is functioning correctly and not obstructed. Ensure no excessive weight is applied to the backrest during adjustment.
- Footrest not extending/retracting smoothly: Inspect the footrest mechanism for any obstructions or damage. Lubricate moving parts if necessary.
- Chair squeaks or makes noise: Check all bolts and screws to ensure they are tightened. Apply a small amount of lubricant to moving parts or joints if needed.
- Lumbar massage not working: Verify the USB cable is securely connected to both the pillow and a powered USB port. Check the inline switch for activation.
