6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: The scratch-resistant leather upholstery can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the material.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Casters: Keep the caster wheels free of debris (hair, dust, etc.) to ensure smooth movement.
• Moving the Chair: When moving the chair, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the base or floor.

7. Troubleshooting

• Chair is unstable: Ensure all assembly screws are securely tightened. Check that the air rod is fully inserted into the base.
• Height adjustment not working: Verify that the lever is functioning correctly and the air rod is properly installed. If the issue persists, the gas lift may need replacement.
• Casters not rolling smoothly: Check for any hair or debris wrapped around the wheels and remove them.
• Recline function not locking: Ensure the tilt-lock lever is engaged correctly. If the mechanism feels loose, check the screws securing it to the seat.
