2. Install Casters and Gas Lift:

   Insert the five casters into the chair legs. Then, install the chair leg decorative cover and the gas lift into the central hole of the base.

3. Attach the Mechanism to the Seat Cushion:

   Align the mechanism with the seat cushion, ensuring the front indicator on the mechanism points towards the front of the seat. Use four M6x20mm screws to attach the mechanism, tightening them with the hex wrench.
4. Install the Lumbar Support:

   Insert the lumbar support into the designated hole in the chair backrest. Use the lumbar support knob to tighten and secure it in a clockwise direction.

5. Install Armrests:

   Connect and secure the two armrests to the backrest using four M6x25mm screws. Tighten them in a clockwise direction with the hex wrench to 80% tightness initially, then fully tighten once aligned with the seat cushion.

7. Attach the Upper Part onto the Gas Lift:

   Carefully align the holes of the assembled seat and backrest with the gas lift, then insert the gas lift into the mechanism's central opening. Press down firmly to secure.
8. Install the Headrest:

   Align the headrest with the chair back, ensuring the screw holes are aligned. Install the headrest using two M6x25mm screws. Rotate the screws clockwise and tighten them using a hex wrench. Finally, attach the headrest decorative cover.

3. Operating Instructions

Your SIHOO M102C chair offers several adjustment options to optimize your comfort and support.

Adjustments:

• Chair Height Adjustment:

  Pull the handle located under the seat upwards to adjust the chair's height. Release the handle at the desired height to lock it in place.
• Recline Function:

  Pull out the handle under the seat to activate the chair's recline function. The chair can recline up to 130 degrees. Push the handle back in to lock the recline position.

  To adjust the recline tension, turn the mechanism knob located under the seat. Turn clockwise for more tension (harder to recline) and counter-clockwise for less tension (easier to recline).
• Lumbar Support Adjustment:

  Rotate the lumbar support knob on the backrest to adjust the lumbar support up and down. Tighten the knob once adjusted to a suitable position for your lower back.

• Armrest Adjustment:

  The 3D armrests can move forward-backward, rotate laterally, and flip up. Adjust them to provide optimal forearm and elbow bracing. Flip them up to store the chair under a desk and save space.
• Headrest Adjustment:

  The headrest can be adjusted up and down and rotated to provide comfortable support for your neck and head.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and performance of your SIHOO M102C chair.

• Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the materials.
• Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
• Caster Care: Keep the casters free of debris (hair, dust, etc.) to ensure smooth rolling.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your SIHOO M102C chair, refer to the following common solutions:

• Chair is Squeaking:

  Squeaking often indicates loose connections. Check and tighten all assembly screws, especially those connecting the seat, backrest, and mechanism. Applying a small amount of silicone lubricant to moving parts (like the gas lift or recline mechanism) can also help.
• Chair Not Adjusting Height:

  Ensure the gas lift lever is fully engaged when attempting to adjust height. If the issue persists, the gas lift cylinder may need replacement. Contact customer support for assistance.

• Chair Feels Unstable/Wobbly:

  Verify that all screws are securely tightened, particularly those on the base and where the mechanism attaches to the seat. Ensure the chair is on a flat, even surface.

• Armrests are Loose:

  Check the screws connecting the armrests to the backrest and seat. Tighten them using the hex wrench provided during assembly.
