Operating Instructions

Your SMUG Drafting Chair offers several adjustable features for optimal comfort and ergonomics.

• Height Adjustment (Seat Air Lift):

  Locate the lever under the right side of 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 seat height can be adjusted from 18.5'' to 22.2'' from the floor.

• Adjustable Foot Ring:

  The 17.7'' diameter metal foot ring can be adjusted to your preferred height. Loosen the knob on the foot ring, slide it up or down the gas lift, and then tighten the knob securely to lock it in place. This feature accommodates users of most heights, especially for standing desks.

• Flip-up Armrests:

  The armrests can be flipped up to allow the chair to be pushed closer to your desk, saving space when not in use. Simply lift the armrests upwards until they click into the vertical position. To lower them, pull them down.

• 360° Swivel and Rolling Casters:

  The chair features a 360° swivel function for easy rotation and smooth-rolling casters for mobility. The casters are designed to be hardwood safe, preventing squeaking or scratching.

Maintenance

• Cleaning:

  Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the mesh or fabric. For deeper cleaning of the mesh, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and air drying.

• Regular Checks:

  Periodically inspect all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability and safety.
• Caster Care:

  Keep casters free of hair and debris to ensure smooth rolling. If casters become stiff, they can be removed and cleaned.
