2. Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the Branch Ergonomic Chair Pro is required. It is recommended to follow all instructions carefully to ensure proper setup and to avoid injury. While generally straightforward, some users may find assistance helpful when attaching the seat to the base due to the weight of the components. The typical assembly time is approximately 45 minutes.

Assembly Steps:

1. Unpack all components and verify against the parts list provided in the packaging.
2. Assemble the chair base and attach the casters.
3. Attach the gas lift cylinder to the chair base.
4. Secure the adjustment mechanism to the underside of the seat.
5. Carefully place the assembled seat onto the gas lift cylinder. Assistance may be beneficial for this step.
6. Attach the backrest to the seat assembly.
7. Install the armrests, ensuring they are securely fastened.

3. Operating Instructions (Adjustments)

The Branch Ergonomic Chair Pro offers 14 points of adjustment to optimize your comfort and support. Familiarize yourself with these controls to personalize your seating experience.

Chair Height Adjustment

• Locate the lever on the right side, beneath the seat.
• To raise the chair: Lift the lever while taking your weight off the seat.
• To lower the chair: Lift the lever while seated, allowing your weight to lower the chair.

Seat Depth Adjustment

• Find the lever on the left side, beneath the seat.
• Pull the lever and slide the seat forward or backward to achieve optimal thigh support, leaving a small gap between the back of your knees and the seat edge.

5D Armrest Adjustments

The armrests offer five dimensions of adjustment:

• Height: Use the button on the side of the armrest to raise or lower.
• Width: Slide the armrest pads horizontally.
• Depth: Slide the armrest pads forward or backward.
• Pivot: Rotate the armrest pads inward or outward.
• Pad Position: Adjust the angle of the armrest pads.

Lumbar Support Adjustment

The padded lumbar cushion adjusts in two ways:

• Height: Slide the lumbar support up or down the backrest to align with the natural curve of your lower back.
• Depth: Adjust the protrusion of the lumbar support to increase or decrease pressure on your lower back.

Tilt Tension and Recline

• Tilt Tension: Use the knob located under the seat (typically at the front or center) to increase or decrease the resistance when reclining. Turn clockwise for more resistance, counter-clockwise for less.
• Smooth Recline & Lock: The chair allows for a smooth recline. Use the lever (often on the left side, near the tilt tension knob) to lock the backrest in your desired reclined position or to allow free movement.

Forward Tilt

• Engage the forward tilt mechanism (refer to your specific chair's controls, often a separate lever or button) to slightly angle the seat forward. This supports an active sitting posture and can reduce pressure on the thighs.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps prolong the life and appearance of your Branch Ergonomic Chair Pro.

Cleaning:

• Mesh Backrest: Gently vacuum with a brush attachment to remove dust. For spills, dab with a clean, damp cloth and mild soap solution. Do not saturate.
• Fabric Seat: Vacuum regularly. For stains, use a fabric cleaner according to its instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
• Frame and Base: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

General Care:

• Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary.
• Avoid exposing the chair to direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent fading.
• Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents on any part of the chair.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Branch Ergonomic Chair Pro, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Chair not adjusting height: Ensure the gas lift lever is fully engaged and that you are applying or removing weight correctly. Check for any obstructions around the gas lift mechanism.
• Chair wobbles: Verify that all assembly bolts are securely tightened, especially those connecting the base to the seat mechanism. Ensure the casters are properly inserted into the base.
• Backrest not reclining or locking: Check the tilt tension knob; it might be too tight. Ensure the recline lock lever is in the correct position for free movement or locking.
• Noisy operation: Apply a small amount of silicone spray to moving parts or pivot points if squeaking occurs. Avoid oil-based lubricants.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Branch customer support for further assistance.
