4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Height Adjustment
To adjust the chair's height (from 19.7" to 23.6"), locate the lever on the right side beneath the seat. Lift the lever upward while seated to lower the chair, or lift the lever while standing to raise the chair. Release the lever at your desired height.

4.2 Reclining Backrest
The backrest offers three reclining positions: 90° (upright), 110°, and 120° (relaxed). To adjust, pull the recline lever (typically on the left side) forward. Lean your back against the chair to reach the desired angle, then push the lever back to lock it in place. To return to the 90° upright position, pull the lever forward, sit on the chair, and lean back slightly; the backrest will spring back to the upright angle.

4.3 Armrest Adjustments

- Flip-Up Function: The armrests can be flipped up 60° to allow for cross-legged sitting or to easily stow the chair under a desk, saving space.
- Height Adjustment: Press the button on the side of the armrest to adjust its height up or down.
- Slide Adjustment: The armrests can slide forward and backward.
- Rotation: The armrest pads can rotate 43° left and right to suit your preference.

5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your GXJ office chair.
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the corduroy fabric and other components.
- Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and safety.
- Moving Parts: If any moving parts (e.g., gas lift, wheels) become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied, avoiding contact with fabric.
- Fabric Care: The corduroy fabric is designed to be anti-scratch and anti-peeling. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your chair, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chair does not adjust height | Gas lift malfunction or lever not engaged. | Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully engaged. If the issue persists, the gas lift may need replacement. Contact customer support. |
| Chair wobbles or feels unstable | Loose screws or uneven assembly. | Check and re-tighten all assembly screws, especially those connecting the seat, backrest, and base. Ensure the chair is on a level surface. |
| Armrests move unexpectedly or pinch skin | Armrest adjustment mechanisms are not locked or are too loose. | While the armrests are designed for flexibility, be mindful of their movement when leaning. Ensure they are in a stable position for support. If a locking mechanism is present, ensure it is engaged. |
| Footrest slides out on its own | Lack of resistance in the sliding mechanism. | Use the footrest gently. If it consistently slides out, inspect the mechanism for any obstructions or damage. |
| Wheels do not roll smoothly | Debris in wheels or damaged casters. | Clean any hair or debris from the wheel casters. If a wheel is damaged, it may need replacement. |
