4. Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps to assemble your Tempur-Pedic TP7000 Task Chair. It is recommended to assemble the chair on a soft, non-abrasive surface to prevent damage.

1. Attach Casters to Base: Insert the five casters into the holes at the end of each leg of the chair base. Push firmly until they click into place.
2. Insert Gas Lift: Place the gas lift cylinder into the center hole of the assembled chair base.
3. Attach Mechanism Plate to Seat: Align the mechanism plate with the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the chair seat. Secure it using the provided screws and Allen wrench. Ensure the front of the mechanism faces the front of the seat.
4. Attach Armrests to Seat: Attach the armrests to the sides of the chair seat using the designated screws. Do not fully tighten yet.
5. Attach Backrest to Seat/Mechanism: Align the backrest with the mounting points on the mechanism plate or seat. Secure with screws. Once the backrest is attached, fully tighten all armrest screws.
6. Connect Seat Assembly to Gas Lift: Carefully place the assembled seat and backrest onto the gas lift cylinder, ensuring the tapered end of the gas lift fits securely into the mechanism plate.

5. Operating Instructions (Adjustments)

Your Tempur-Pedic TP7000 chair offers several adjustments to customize your seating experience for optimal comfort and support.

• Seat Height Adjustment: To raise the seat, lift the lever located under the right side of the seat while taking your weight off the chair. To lower the seat, lift the lever while seated. Release the lever at the desired height.
• Armrest Height Adjustment: Press the button on the side of each armrest and move the armrest up or down to your preferred height. Release the button to lock it in place.
• Tilt Lock/Unlock: The chair features a single reclining position. To allow the chair to recline, pull the lever (usually the same as the height adjustment lever, or a separate one) outwards. To lock the chair in an upright position, push the lever inwards.
• Tilt Tension Adjustment: Rotate the round knob located under the front of the seat to adjust the tension of the recline. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).

6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your chair.

• Cleaning: The fabric seat and mesh back should be spot cleaned only. Use a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Do not saturate the fabric. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary.
• Casters: Keep casters free of hair and debris to ensure smooth movement.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong detergents, as these can damage the chair's materials.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your chair, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Chair Sinks or Does Not Stay Up:
  Solution: The gas lift cylinder may be faulty. Contact customer support for a replacement.
• Chair Squeaks:
  Solution: Check all screws and bolts and tighten them. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to moving parts if the squeaking persists.
• Casters Do Not Roll Smoothly:
  Solution: Remove any hair or debris wrapped around the caster wheels. Clean the wheels with a damp cloth.
• Chair Does Not Recline:
  Solution: Ensure the tilt lock lever is disengaged (pulled outwards). Adjust the tilt tension knob counter-clockwise to reduce tension.
