4. Assembly Instructions

The HOMCOM Ergonomic Kneeling Chair is designed for easy assembly. Please follow the step-by-step instructions and diagrams included in the packaging of your product. Ensure all components are present before beginning assembly.

1. Unpack all components and verify against the parts list in your product packaging.

5. Operating Instructions

The ergonomic kneeling chair is designed to encourage an active and healthy sitting posture. Here’s how to use it effectively:

• Sitting Position: Sit with your buttocks on the main seat cushion and your knees resting comfortably on the knee pads. This position naturally tilts your pelvis forward, aligning your spine and engaging your core muscles.
• Rocking Movement: The chair features a dynamic rocking design. Utilize this movement to stay active, improve circulation, and enhance concentration during prolonged periods of sitting.
• Back Support: Lean back against the backrest for additional lumbar support when needed.
• Acclimatization: As this chair promotes a different sitting posture, it may take time to adjust. Begin by using the chair for short periods (15-30 minutes) and gradually increase usage time as your body adapts.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your HOMCOM Ergonomic Kneeling Chair, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the fabric surfaces with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner and follow the product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Wood Care: The birch wood frame can be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Placement: Avoid placing the chair in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause the wood to dry out or the fabric to fade.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your HOMCOM Ergonomic Kneeling Chair, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Instability/Wobbling: Check all assembly screws and ensure they are securely tightened. Uneven floor surfaces can also cause wobbling; try moving the chair to a level surface.
• Discomfort: If you experience discomfort, remember to acclimate gradually to the new sitting posture. Take frequent breaks. Ensure you are sitting correctly with your knees on the pads and your buttocks on the seat.
• Squeaking Noises: Inspect all joints and connections. A small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) can be applied to moving parts if the noise persists, ensuring it does not stain the fabric or wood.
