4. Operating Instructions
The Branch Headrest Attachment features an adjustable height mechanism to cater to individual user preferences and ensure optimal ergonomic support.
- Adjusting Height: To adjust the height of the headrest, grasp the headrest firmly with both hands. Gently pull upwards to raise it or push downwards to lower it. The headrest will click into place at various height intervals.
- Finding Optimal Position: Position the headrest so that it comfortably supports the natural curve of your neck and the base of your head when you are seated upright or slightly reclined. Experiment with different heights to find the position that provides the most comfort and reduces strain.

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and continued performance of your Branch Headrest Attachment, regular maintenance is recommended.
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the mesh and frame with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the attachment points and the headrest frame for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Ensure all parts are secure.
- Avoid Excessive Force: Do not apply excessive force when adjusting the headrest, as this may damage the internal mechanism.
6. Troubleshooting
If you experience any issues with your Branch Headrest Attachment, please refer to the common problems and solutions below:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Headrest feels loose or wobbly after installation. | Securing screws not fully tightened or improper insertion. | Ensure the headrest is fully inserted into the chair's slot. Use the Allen key to tighten any securing screws until the headrest is firm. |
| Headrest does not adjust height smoothly. | Mechanism may be stiff or obstructed. | Apply gentle, even pressure when adjusting. Ensure no foreign objects are lodged in the adjustment mechanism. Avoid forcing the adjustment. |
| Headrest does not provide adequate support for taller users. | Headrest may be at its maximum height or not suitable for extreme heights. | Ensure the headrest is adjusted to its highest possible position. The headrest is designed to support a wide range of users, but individual comfort may vary. |
| Rattling noise from the headrest. | Slight play in the attachment mechanism. | Ensure all connections are secure. If minor play persists, some users have found that inserting a thin, non-abrasive shim (e.g., a small piece of cardstock) into the slot can reduce movement. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Branch customer support for further assistance.
