5. Operating Instructions

Your VITESSE office chair offers several adjustments to customize your seating experience.

5.1. Chair Height Adjustment

To adjust the chair's height, locate the lever on the right side, beneath the seat. While seated, pull the lever up to lower the chair. To raise the chair, stand up and pull the lever up. Release the lever at the desired height.

5.2. Rocking Function Adjustment

The chair features a rocking function for dynamic seating. To enable rocking, pull the same lever used for height adjustment outwards. Push it inwards to lock the chair in an upright position.

5.3. Rocking Tension Control

Beneath the seat, at the front, you will find a round knob. Turn this knob clockwise to increase the rocking tension, making it harder to recline. Turn it counter-clockwise to decrease tension, allowing for easier reclining.

5.4. Ergonomic Lumbar Support

The chair includes adjustable lumbar support. Locate the knob on the right side of the backrest. Turn the knob to inflate or deflate the lumbar pillow, allowing you to fine-tune the support to your lower back. This feature helps maintain the natural curve of your spine and reduces pressure buildup.

5.5. Flip-Up Armrests

The armrests are designed to flip up, allowing you to push the chair closer to your desk or easily move in and out. To raise an armrest, simply lift it upwards until it locks into a vertical position. To lower it, pull it slightly outwards and then push it down.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps prolong the life and appearance of your office chair.

Cleaning: For the faux leather surface, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and immediately wipe dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to prevent loosening and ensure stability.
Caster Care: Clean casters regularly to remove dust, hair, and debris that can impede smooth rolling.
Gas Lift: The gas lift is a sealed unit and requires no maintenance. If it fails to function, contact customer support.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your chair, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Chair does not adjust height	Gas lift malfunction or lever not engaged.	Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully engaged. If the issue persists, the gas lift may need replacement. Contact support.
Chair wobbles or is unstable	Loose screws or uneven floor.	Check and tighten all assembly screws. Ensure the chair is on a flat, level surface.
Casters do not roll smoothly	Debris in casters or damaged casters.	Remove any hair or debris from the caster wheels. If damaged, casters may need replacement.
Rocking function is too stiff/loose	Rocking tension knob adjustment.	Adjust the rocking tension knob located under the seat (clockwise for stiffer, counter-clockwise for looser).
