Operating Instructions
Your executive office chair offers several adjustment options for personalized comfort:
- Adjustable Seat Height: Use the pneumatic control lever located under the right side of the seat. Pull the lever up to raise the seat; sit on the chair and pull the lever up to lower the seat. Release the lever to lock the height.
- Tilt-Tension Control: The round knob located under the front-center of the seat adjusts the resistance of the chair's rocking motion. Turn clockwise to increase tension (stiffer tilt) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (looser tilt).
- 360-Degree Swivel: The chair is designed to rotate freely 360 degrees for ease of movement and access to your workspace.
- Rocking Function: The chair allows for a gentle rocking motion. The tilt-tension knob controls the ease of this movement.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your chair:
- Cleaning Upholstery: For bonded leather surfaces, wipe with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the material.
- Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all bolts and screws. Re-tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
- Caster Care: Clean caster wheels regularly to remove dust, hair, and debris that can impede smooth rolling.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the bonded leather to fade or crack. Position the chair away from direct sunlight when possible.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your chair, refer to the following common solutions:
- Chair Squeaks or Feels Unstable: Ensure all assembly screws are securely tightened. Check the connections between the backrest, armrests, and seat.
- Pneumatic Cylinder Not Adjusting Height: Verify that the gas lift lever is fully engaged or disengaged as required. If the issue persists, check for any obstructions or contact customer support.
- Difficulty Rolling Casters: Inspect the casters for accumulated debris (e.g., hair, lint). Clean them thoroughly to restore smooth mobility.
- Bonded Leather Showing Wear: While durable, bonded leather can show signs of wear over time. Consider using a chair cover or a specialized leather repair kit for minor damage.
