3. Setup and Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble your DXRacer Tank XXL Gaming Chair. It is recommended to assemble the chair on a soft, clean surface to prevent damage.
- Attach Casters to Star Base: Insert each of the five casters into the holes at the end of each leg of the star base. Push firmly until they click into place.
- Install Gas Lift: Place the gas lift cylinder into the center hole of the assembled star base. Cover the gas lift with the telescopic plastic cover.
- Attach Tilt Mechanism: Secure the tilt mechanism to the underside of the seat base using the provided screws and Allen key. Ensure the front of the mechanism faces the front of the seat.
- Connect Seat to Gas Lift: Carefully place the assembled seat base onto the gas lift cylinder. The tapered end of the gas lift should fit securely into the center hole of the tilt mechanism.
- Attach Backrest to Seat: Align the metal brackets on the backrest with the corresponding holes on the seat base. Secure with the provided screws and washers. Do not overtighten initially.

4. Operating Instructions
Your DXRacer Tank XXL Gaming Chair offers several adjustment options to customize your seating experience:
- Height Adjustment: To adjust the chair's height, pull the lever located on the right side of the seat upwards. While holding the lever, lift your weight off the seat to raise it, or remain seated and apply pressure to lower it. Release the lever to lock the height.
- Backrest Recline: The backrest can be reclined from 90 to 135 degrees. Pull the lever on the right side of the seat, near the backrest, upwards to unlock the recline. Lean back to your desired angle and release the lever to lock.
- Tilt and Rocking Function: The chair features a tilt mechanism that allows for a rocking motion. A knob under the seat (usually at the front) adjusts the tension of the tilt. Turn clockwise to increase tension (less rocking) and counter-clockwise to decrease tension (more rocking). A separate lever (often the same as the height adjustment lever, pushed inwards) can lock or unlock the tilt.
- 4D Armrest Adjustment: The armrests are multi-functional. They can be adjusted in four dimensions:
- Height: Press the button on the side of the armrest and move it up or down.
- Front/Back: Slide the armrest pad forward or backward.
- Left/Right: Slide the armrest pad left or right.
- Rotation: Rotate the armrest pad inwards or outwards.
- Magnetic Head Pillow and Lumbar Support: These cushions attach magnetically to the backrest, allowing for easy repositioning to support your head and lower back as needed.

5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your DXRacer Tank XXL Gaming Chair.
- Cleaning: The EPU Leatherette material can be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and wipe dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Moving Parts: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary. Lubricate moving parts like the tilt mechanism and casters with a silicone-based lubricant if they become stiff or noisy.
- Casters: Keep casters free of hair and debris to ensure smooth movement.
- General Care: Avoid exposing the chair to direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent material degradation. Do not stand on the chair or use it for purposes other than sitting.

If you encounter issues with your DXRacer Tank XXL Gaming Chair, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
