- Seat Height Adjustment: Pull the lever located on the right side of the seat upwards to raise the seat. To lower, remain seated and pull the lever upwards. Release the lever to lock the height.
- Adjustable Headrest: The headrest can be adjusted vertically by sliding it up or down. It also features a pivot adjustment to change the angle for neck support.
- 4D Armrests: The armrests can be adjusted in four dimensions: height (up/down), depth (forward/backward), width (in/out), and pivot (rotate left/right). Use the buttons or levers on the armrests to make these adjustments.
- Adjustable Lumbar Support: The lumbar support can be moved vertically to align with the natural curve of your lower back. Some models also allow for depth adjustment.
- Seat Slide (Depth Adjustment): Use the knob on the left side of the seat to slide the seat pan forward or backward, adjusting the seat depth to fit your leg length. Push the knob in to lock the seat in place after adjustment.
- Tilt Lock: The chair features a 4-position tilt lock. Pull the lever on the left side of the seat outwards to unlock the tilt function, allowing the backrest to recline. Push the lever inwards to lock the backrest at your desired angle.
- Tilt Tension Knob: Rotate the round knob located under the seat (usually at the front) to adjust the tension of the recline mechanism. Turn clockwise to increase tension (making it harder to recline) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (making it easier to recline).
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your chair.
- Cleaning Mesh and Fabric: Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water to clean mesh and fabric surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning Base and Casters: Wipe the aluminum alloy base and casters with a damp cloth. Periodically remove any hair or debris from the caster wheels to ensure smooth movement.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading of materials.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chair does not raise or lower | Gas lift cylinder malfunction or lever not engaged. | Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully pulled. If the issue persists, the gas lift may need replacement. |
| Chair is wobbly | Loose screws or improper assembly. | Check and tighten all assembly screws, especially those connecting the backrest and armrests to the seat. Ensure the gas lift is securely seated in the base. |
| Armrests move too easily or are wobbly | Normal operation for 4D armrests or internal mechanism wear. | While 4D armrests offer flexibility, some movement is inherent. If excessive, ensure they are properly installed. There is no lock for armrest position. |
| Backrest does not recline or is too stiff/loose | Tilt lock engaged or tilt tension incorrectly set. | Ensure the tilt lock lever is disengaged. Adjust the tilt tension knob (under the seat) to your preference. Turn clockwise for more tension, counter-clockwise for less. |
| Casters do not roll smoothly | Debris caught in wheels or damaged casters. | Turn the chair over and remove any hair, dust, or debris from the caster wheels. If damaged, casters may need replacement. |
| Headrest adjustment is stiff | New mechanism, requires breaking in. | For initial adjustments, apply steady, gentle force. Repeated adjustments will loosen the mechanism over time. |
