3. Operating Instructions

The Nova chair offers several adjustable features to customize your seating experience for optimal comfort and ergonomic support.

Height Customization:

To adjust the chair's height, locate the lever on the right side of the chair. Lift this lever upwards to raise or lower the seat to your desired position. Ensure your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are at a 90-degree angle for proper ergonomic posture.

4. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your La-Z-Boy Nova Executive Office Chair, follow these care instructions:

  • Spot Clean: For spills or stains, use a soft cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Gently blot the affected area. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the faux leather material.
  • Regular Dusting: Dust the chair regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust buildup.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the faux leather to fade or crack. Position your chair away from direct sunlight when possible.

5. Troubleshooting

This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your office chair.

Chair Squeaks or Creaks:

  • Check all assembly bolts and screws to ensure they are tightened securely. Loose connections can cause noise.
  • Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to moving parts, such as the tilt mechanism or caster stems, if the noise persists.

Difficulty Adjusting Height:

  • Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully engaged when attempting to raise or lower the chair.
  • If the gas lift cylinder is not responding, it may need replacement. Contact customer support for assistance.

Chair Does Not Recline Properly:

  • Verify that the recline lock lever is disengaged.
  • Adjust the tilt tension knob. Turning it counter-clockwise will loosen the tension, making it easier to recline. Turning it clockwise will increase tension.
