4. Operating Instructions and Adjustments

Your COLAMY office chair offers multiple adjustments for personalized comfort.

  • Seat Height Adjustment: Pull the lever located under the right side of the seat upwards to raise or lower the seat. Release the lever at the desired height.
  • Tilt Lock and Recline: Pull the same lever outwards to unlock the tilt function, allowing the chair to recline between 100° and 130°. Push the lever inwards to lock the chair in an upright position.
  • Tilt Tension Adjustment: Rotate the round knob located under the front-center of the seat to adjust the tension of the recline. Turn clockwise to increase tension (harder to recline) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (easier to recline).
  • 3D Armrest Adjustment: The armrests can be adjusted in three dimensions: height, forward/backward, and pivot. Use the buttons or levers on the armrests to make these adjustments.
  • Adjustable Headrest: The headrest can be moved up and down and tilted to support your neck and head.
  • Dynamic Lumbar Support: The chair features a dynamic lumbar support system that automatically adjusts to your sitting posture and weight, providing continuous lower back support.
  • Retractable Footrest: Pull the footrest out from under the seat when desired, and push it back in when not in use.
