Image 4.1: Essential Chair Features
4.1. Height Adjustment
To adjust the seat height, locate the lever on the right side beneath the seat cushion. While seated, pull the lever up to lower the seat. To raise the seat, stand up slightly and pull the lever up. Release the lever at your desired height to lock it in place.
4.2. Tilt Function and Lock
The chair features a tilt mechanism allowing the backrest and seat to recline together. To activate the tilt, pull the same lever (or a separate one, depending on model) outwards. To lock the chair in an upright position, push the lever inwards. Some models may have a tension knob underneath the seat to adjust the resistance of the tilt.
4.3. Adjustable Lumbar Support
The lumbar support can be adjusted to provide targeted support to your lower back. Locate the adjustment mechanism on the back of the chair's backrest. Typically, this involves sliding a lever or knob up or down to position the lumbar support correctly for your spine.

4.4. Flip-up Armrests
The armrests are designed to flip up, allowing you to tuck the chair under your desk more easily or to sit cross-legged. Simply lift the armrests upwards until they lock into their vertical position. To lower them, pull them down until they click into their horizontal position.
4.5. Swivel and Glide
The chair features a 360-degree swivel for effortless movement and smooth-rolling casters for easy gliding across various floor surfaces.
5. Maintenance
5.1. Cleaning
To clean your NEO CHAIR, simply wipe it with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the mesh, fabric, or plastic components.
5.2. General Care
- Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability and safety.
- Avoid exposing the chair to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can cause fading of the fabric and mesh.
- Keep the casters clean from hair and debris to ensure smooth rolling.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your NEO CHAIR, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Chair is creaking: This can often be resolved by re-tightening all assembly screws. Applying a small amount of silicone lubricant to moving metal parts (e.g., springs, pivot points) may also help.
- Gas lift not adjusting height: Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully engaged. If the issue persists, the gas lift cylinder may need replacement.
- Chair feels unstable or wobbly: Check that all screws are securely tightened, especially those connecting the seat to the mechanism and the backrest. Ensure the casters are fully inserted into the base.
- Casters not rolling smoothly: Remove any hair, dust, or debris that may be caught in the caster wheels. Lubricating the caster axles with a silicone spray can improve movement.
- Loss of back support: Over time, the mesh or internal support structure may show wear. Ensure the adjustable lumbar support is correctly positioned. If the internal structure is compromised, contact customer support.
