Operating Instructions and Adjustments

Your HON Ignition Mid-Back Task Chair offers several adjustment options to customize your seating experience. Familiarize yourself with these controls for optimal ergonomic support.

• Seat Height Adjustment: Locate the lever on the right side, beneath the seat. To raise the seat, lift the lever while taking your weight off the seat. To lower the seat, lift the lever while seated. The pneumatic cylinder allows adjustment from 16-3/8" to 21-1/4".
• Arm Height and Width Adjustment:
  • Height: Press the button on the side of each armrest post and slide the armrest up or down to your desired height. Release the button to lock.
  • Width: Depending on the model, armrests may slide horizontally by loosening a knob or pressing a lever underneath the armrest pad.
• Lumbar Support Adjustment: The lumbar support is integrated into the backrest. Adjust its height by sliding the lumbar pad up or down to align with the natural curve of your lower back.
• Synchro-Tilt Mechanism: This mechanism allows the backrest and seat to recline in a synchronized motion. Engage or disengage the tilt function using the lever on the left side, beneath the seat.
• Tilt Tension Adjustment: The round knob located at the front, beneath the seat, controls the amount of force required to recline. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) or counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).
• Tilt Lock: Use the tilt lock lever (often integrated with the synchro-tilt lever) to lock the chair's backrest in an upright or reclined position.
• 360-Degree Swivel: The chair is designed to swivel freely 360 degrees for ease of movement.

Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your HON Ignition Mid-Back Task Chair, follow these care instructions:

• Cleaning: Spot clean the fabric and mesh components as needed. Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Caster Care: Keep casters free of debris (hair, lint) to ensure smooth movement.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your chair, refer to the common troubleshooting tips below:

• Chair Sinks or Does Not Hold Height: This typically indicates an issue with the gas lift cylinder. Contact customer support for a replacement.
• Chair Squeaks or Creaks: Check all assembly bolts and screws and tighten them. A small amount of silicone spray on moving parts (avoiding the gas lift) may also help.
• Casters Not Rolling Smoothly: Remove any hair or debris from the caster wheels. If casters are damaged, they may need replacement.
• Adjustments Not Working: Ensure levers and knobs are fully engaged or disengaged. Refer to the "Operating Instructions" section for proper usage.
