4. Operating the Chair

The SONGMICS OBN086K01 chair offers several adjustment features to customize your seating experience.

4.1 Seat Height Adjustment

To adjust the seat height, locate the lever on the right side beneath the seat.

• To raise the seat: Lift the lever while taking your weight off the seat. The seat will rise automatically.
• To lower the seat: Lift the lever while remaining seated. The seat will lower under your weight.
• Release the lever to lock the seat at the desired height. The seat height is adjustable from 44 cm to 55 cm.

4.2 Tilt Mechanism and Tension Control

The chair features a rocking mechanism for added comfort and relaxation.

• To unlock the tilt: Pull the same lever (used for height adjustment) outwards from the chair's center. This allows the chair to rock.
• To lock the tilt: Push the lever inwards towards the chair's center. The chair will lock in an upright position.
• Tilt Tension Adjustment: A round knob located beneath the seat, usually at the front, controls the tilt tension. Turn it clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) or counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).

4.3 Foldable Armrests

• To fold the armrests up: Simply lift them upwards until they lock into a vertical position.
• To lower the armrests: Pull them down until they lock into the horizontal position.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your SONGMICS office chair.

• Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. For localized stains, perform spot cleaning with a mild fabric cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Mesh Fabric: Gently vacuum the mesh backrest and seat to remove dust and debris.
• Frame and Base: Wipe metal and plastic parts with a damp cloth.
• Casters: Periodically clean hair and debris from the casters to ensure smooth rolling.
• Fasteners: Every few months, check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your chair, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Chair Squeaks:
  • Check all bolts and screws and tighten any that are loose.
  • Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to moving parts or joints if tightening does not resolve the issue.
• Gas Lift Not Adjusting:
  • Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully engaged or disengaged as required.
  • Verify that the gas lift cylinder is correctly seated in the base and seat mechanism.
  • If the gas lift consistently fails, it may need replacement. Contact customer support.
• Casters Not Rolling Smoothly:
  • Remove any hair, dust, or debris that may be wrapped around the caster wheels.
  • Ensure casters are securely inserted into the star base.
• Chair Feels Unstable:
  • Re-tighten all assembly bolts and screws.
  • Ensure the chair is on a flat, even surface.
