5. Operating Instructions

The CLP Laflin I stool offers adjustable height and 360-degree swivel functionality for optimal comfort and flexibility.

• Height Adjustment: To raise the seat, lift the lever located under the right side of the seat while standing up.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your work stool.

• Cleaning the Seat: Wipe the faux leather upholstered seat with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and immediately wipe dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Cleaning the Base and Casters: Clean the chrome metal base and casters with a soft, dry cloth. For dirt on casters, you may use a slightly damp cloth. Ensure no hair or debris is tangled in the caster wheels.
• Hardware Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
