5. Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your office chair.

5.1 Cleaning

  • PU Leather: For general cleaning, wipe the PU leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution and then wipe clean with a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Mesh/Fabric: Spot clean any mesh or fabric areas with a mild upholstery cleaner. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

5.2 General Maintenance

  • Check Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary.
  • Casters: Keep casters free of hair and debris to ensure smooth rolling. Clean with a damp cloth if needed.
  • Gas Lift: Do not attempt to disassemble the gas lift cylinder. If it malfunctions, contact customer support.

6. Troubleshooting

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

6.1 Chair Squeaks

  • Solution: Check and tighten all assembly screws, especially those connecting the seat, backrest, and mechanism plate. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to moving parts if the squeaking persists after tightening.

6.2 Gas Lift Not Adjusting Height

  • Solution: Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully engaged. If the gas lift still does not function, it may need replacement. Contact customer support.

6.3 Wheels Not Rolling Smoothly

  • Solution: Remove any hair, dust, or debris that may be caught in the casters. Clean the wheels and their axles.

6.4 Backrest Not Tilting/Rocking

  • Solution: Ensure the tilt lock lever is disengaged (pulled outwards). Adjust the rocking tension knob to a looser setting if the chair feels too stiff.
