4.2. Tilt Mechanism and Tension Control

The chair features a synchro-tilt mechanism allowing the backrest and seat to recline together.

  • To unlock tilt: Pull the lever on the left side of the seat upwards. The chair will now allow rocking motion.
  • To lock tilt: Push the lever on the left side of the seat downwards. The chair will lock in its upright position.
  • Tilt Tension Adjustment: Rotate the round knob located under the front of the seat. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) or counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).

4.3. Flip-up Armrests

The armrests can be flipped up to allow the chair to slide further under a desk, saving space.

  • Simply lift the armrests upwards until they lock into the vertical position.
  • To return them to the down position, gently pull them downwards.
