4.2. Reclining Function (100-130°)
The chair's backrest can recline between 100 and 130 degrees. To recline, pull the lever on the left side, beneath the seat, and lean back to your desired angle. Release the lever to lock the backrest in position. To return to an upright position, pull the lever and lean forward.

- 130°: Maximum recline for resting or short naps.

- To adjust, gently pull the armrest towards you, then push it outwards to flip it up.
- To return to the original position, reverse the process.

6. Troubleshooting
Refer to this section for solutions to common issues you might encounter with your chair.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chair does not adjust height. | Gas lift malfunction or lever not engaged. | Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully pulled up. If the issue persists, the gas lift may need replacement. Contact customer support. |
| Backrest does not recline or lock. | Recline mechanism not engaged or stuck. | Ensure the recline lever is fully engaged. If the backrest is stuck in a reclined position, lean all the way back and then push forward while pulling the lever to release the lock. Check for any obstructions. |
| Armrests are difficult to adjust or flip. | Mechanism stiff or not properly engaged. | Gently pull the armrest towards you before attempting to flip it outwards. Apply light, even pressure. Avoid forcing the mechanism. |
