Operating Instructions
Your Amseatec drafting chair features several adjustable components designed for ergonomic comfort and versatility.
- Height Adjustment: To raise the chair, lift the lever located under the right side of the seat while taking your weight off the seat. To lower the chair, lift the lever while seated. Release the lever at the desired height.
- Foot Ring Adjustment: The foot ring can be adjusted up or down to provide optimal foot support. Loosen the knob on the side of the foot ring, slide it to the desired height, and then tighten the knob securely.
- Flip-Up Armrests: The padded armrests can be flipped up and out of the way when not needed, allowing for closer access to your desk or for space-saving storage. Simply lift the armrests upwards until they lock into the vertical position. To lower, pull them down.
- Tilt Function: The chair features a tilt mechanism. Pull out the lever on the right side (the same lever for height adjustment) to enable tilting. Push it in to lock the backrest in an upright position.
- Tilt Tension Adjustment: Rotate the round knob under the front of the seat to adjust the tension of the tilt mechanism. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).

- Casters: Periodically check casters for hair or debris that may hinder smooth movement. Clean as needed.
- Hardware: Every six months, inspect all screws and bolts and retighten them to ensure stability and safety.
