Operating and Adjustments

The THUNDERX3 XTC chair features a SYNC5 multi-functional mechanism, offering 5-way adjustability for personalized comfort. Familiarize yourself with these adjustments to optimize your seating posture.

1. Chair Height Adjustment

To adjust the chair height, locate the lever on the right side, beneath the seat. While seated, pull the lever up to lower the chair. To raise the chair, stand up slightly and pull the lever up. Release the lever at the desired height.

2. Synchronous Tilt and Lock

The SYNC5 mechanism allows the backrest and seat to recline simultaneously, providing continuous support for your spine. To engage the tilt, pull the lever on the left side, beneath the seat. To lock the tilt at a desired angle, push the lever back down. The chair offers a tilt range from 90° to 135°.

3. Self-Adjusting Lumbar Support

The XTC chair features self-adjusting lumbar support that automatically adapts to your movements, providing optimal spinal alignment and reducing tension. No manual adjustment is typically required for this feature.

4. Adjustable Headrest

The headrest is bidirectional, allowing for height and angle adjustments. Gently push or pull the headrest to move it up or down, and tilt it forward or backward to find your preferred position for neck and head support.

5. 3D Adjustable Armrests

The armrests can be adjusted in three dimensions: height, forward/backward, and inside/outside angle. Use the buttons or levers on the armrests to unlock and adjust them to your desired position. This allows for optimal support for your arms and shoulders.

6. Seat Depth Adjustment

To adjust the seat depth, locate the lever or button, typically on the left side of the seat. While seated, pull the lever/button and slide the seat forward or backward. Release the lever/button to lock the seat in place. This allows for proper thigh support.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will prolong the life and appearance of your THUNDERX3 XTC chair.

• Cleaning the Mesh: The breathable mesh material can be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry completely.
• Frame Cleaning: Wipe down the chair frame and plastic components with a soft, damp cloth.
• Caster Maintenance: Periodically check the casters for hair or debris buildup. Clean them as needed to ensure smooth rolling.
• Tighten Screws: Every few months, check all screws and bolts and tighten them if necessary to maintain stability.
