6. Operating Instructions
Your GYMAX Lounge Chair offers adjustable comfort for various activities.
6.1 Adjusting the Backrest
The backrest can be adjusted to 4 different levels to suit your preference for sitting, reclining, or lying flat.
- To Recline: While standing beside the chair, lift the backrest slightly to disengage the support bar from its current notch. Gently push the backrest down to the desired angle, ensuring the support bar securely locks into one of the lower notches.
- To Sit Up: While standing beside the chair, lift the backrest slightly to disengage the support bar. Pull the backrest upwards to the desired angle, ensuring the support bar securely locks into one of the higher notches.
- Important Note: Do not attempt to adjust the backrest while you are lying on the lounge chair. Always adjust the backrest before or after sitting on the chair to prevent injury or damage to the mechanism.

- Sun Exposure: Do not expose the lounge chair to direct sunlight for extended periods when not in use to prevent fabric fading and material degradation.
