Operating Instructions
The Artist hand Barber Chair offers several adjustable features for client comfort and stylist convenience.
1. Height Adjustment (Hydraulic Pump)
To adjust the chair's height:
- To Raise: Repeatedly press the foot pedal located at the base of the chair until the desired height is reached.
- To Lower: Press and hold the foot pedal down. The chair will slowly descend. Release the pedal when the desired height is achieved.

- To Return Upright: Pull the reclining lever and gently push the backrest forward. Release the lever to lock.

4. Adjustable Headrest
The headrest can be adjusted vertically or removed entirely.
- To Adjust: Pull the headrest upwards or push downwards to achieve the desired height. It will typically lock into place automatically.
- To Remove: Pull the headrest firmly upwards until it detaches from the backrest.
5. Adjustable Footrest
The footrest can be adjusted to accommodate clients of various heights.
- To Adjust: Depending on the model, the footrest may adjust automatically with the recline, or have a separate lever to extend or retract it.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and appearance of your barber chair.
- Cleaning Upholstery: Wipe the PU leather upholstery with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
- Metal Parts: Clean polished metal accents with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a non-abrasive metal cleaner sparingly.
- Hydraulic System: Periodically check the hydraulic pump for smooth operation. If it becomes stiff, consult a professional for lubrication or service. Do not attempt to disassemble the hydraulic unit yourself.
- General Inspection: Regularly check all bolts, screws, and connections for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability and safety.
- Storage: If storing the chair for an extended period, ensure it is clean and dry. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chair does not raise or lower. | Hydraulic pump issue, low fluid, or pedal mechanism jammed. | Ensure the foot pedal is fully engaged. If the issue persists, contact customer support for service. Do not attempt to repair the hydraulic pump yourself. |
| Chair feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose bolts or uneven floor surface. | Check and tighten all assembly bolts. Ensure the chair is on a flat, level surface. Adjust any leveling feet if available. |
| Backrest does not recline or lock. | Reclining mechanism jammed or lever not fully engaged. | Inspect the reclining lever and mechanism for obstructions. Ensure the lever is fully pulled or pushed to engage/disengage. |
| Swivel function is stiff or locked. | Swivel lock engaged or mechanism requires lubrication. | Disengage the swivel lock. If still stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the swivel mechanism (avoiding upholstery). |
