Pneumatic seat height control further enhances ergonomic posture.

• Breathable Mesh, Footrest, & Coat Hanger: The elastic nylon mesh back promotes airflow, preventing heat buildup. The high-density PU foam cushion provides lasting comfort. A hidden retractable mesh footrest supports legs during breaks, and a built-in rear coat hanger keeps jackets and bags organized.

Operating Instructions

Familiarize yourself with the various adjustment mechanisms to customize your seating experience.

1. Seat Height Adjustment

Locate the lever on the right side beneath the seat. Pull the lever up to raise the seat. To lower, remain seated and pull the lever up. Release the lever at the desired height.

2. Seat Depth Adjustment

The seat depth can be adjusted by a lever or button, typically located on the side of the seat. Push or pull the seat forward or backward to achieve a comfortable distance from the backrest, ensuring your feet are flat on the floor and there is a small gap between the back of your knees and the seat edge. The chair offers 5cm of adjustment.

Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For mesh areas, a soft brush can be used to remove dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Caster Care: Periodically check the casters for accumulated hair or debris and clean them to ensure smooth rolling.
• Fastener Check: Occasionally check all bolts and screws to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 400 lbs.

Troubleshooting

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

• Chair Sinks or Does Not Stay Up: This usually indicates an issue with the gas lift. Ensure the height adjustment lever is fully engaged. If the problem persists, the gas lift may need replacement.
• Squeaking Noises: Check all bolts and connections for tightness. Applying a small amount of silicone lubricant to moving parts (e.g., tilt mechanism, caster stems) can often resolve squeaking.
• Casters Not Rolling Smoothly: Inspect casters for debris (hair, lint) wrapped around the wheels. Clean them thoroughly. Ensure the chair is used on an appropriate surface (hard floor recommended).
• Difficulty Adjusting Features: Ensure no obstructions are present. For levers and knobs, confirm they are fully engaged or disengaged as required for the adjustment.

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