Operating Instructions
This section details how to operate the various adjustable features of your Artist hand barber chair.
Height Adjustment
To adjust the chair's height, use the heavy-duty hydraulic pump lever located on the side. Pressing the lever down will lower the chair, while pumping it will raise the chair. The chair can be adjusted up to 5 inches in height to accommodate different client and stylist needs.

Reclining Backrest
The backrest can recline up to 140 degrees. To recline, locate the gas-piston lock and release mechanism, typically a lever on the side of the chair. Engage the lever to adjust the backrest to your desired angle, then release the lever to lock it into position. Ensure the backrest is securely locked before use.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your barber chair.
- Cleaning Upholstery: The high-quality faux leather is waterproof and stain-resistant. Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the material.
- Frame and Base: Wipe down the chrome-finished base and steel frame with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for metal surfaces.
- Hydraulic Pump: Periodically check the hydraulic pump for smooth operation. If it becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts, avoiding contact with upholstery.
- General Inspection: Regularly inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability and safety.
