7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your SMUG office chair, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chair height does not stay adjusted or slowly sinks. | Gas lift cylinder malfunction or loose connection. | Ensure the gas lift is fully inserted into the base and mechanism. If the issue persists, the gas lift may need replacement. Contact customer support. |
| Casters do not roll smoothly. | Debris (hair, dust) caught in casters or casters not fully inserted. | Remove any debris from the casters. Ensure each caster is fully pushed into the chair base until it clicks securely. |
| Chair feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose screws or improper assembly. | Check all screws, especially those connecting the backrest, armrests, and mechanism plate, and tighten them firmly. Refer to the assembly instructions. |
| Backrest does not recline or lock properly. | Rocking mechanism lever is not engaged or disengaged correctly. | Ensure the rocking lever is fully pulled out for rocking or pushed in for locking. Adjust the tension knob under the seat if the rocking motion is too stiff or too loose. |
