Welcome to Human Touch®

You have just purchased one of the finest pieces of ergonomic furniture available. The PC-6 artfully blends the best of aesthetics, technology and wellness in a seating experience that transcends the highest standards of comfort. The recline system eases the body into a virtually weightless position, as it elevates the legs above the heart and relieves weight from the spine. This remarkable chair relieves the soreness, tension and fatigue caused by the earth's constant pulling, while its fixed-form seating position ensures maximum ergonomic posture at all recline angles.

To ensure that you don't overlook any of your chair's features, and that you use it safely, read this manual carefully. Then sit back, relax, and enjoy!

Installing the Footrest Frame

1. Remove the footrest frame screws: Using the Phillips-head screwdriver (provided), remove the two screws from the footrest frame. Retain them for use in step 3.
2. Slide the footrest frame onto the chair frame: Slide the two ends of the footrest frame into the holes in the front of the chair frame.
3. Replace the footrest frame screws: Using a Phillips-head screwdriver and the two provided screws, secure each side of the footrest frame to the chair frame.
4. Attach the canvas to the footrest frame: Using both hands, gently pull the seat canvas forward just to the top of the footrest frame, then secure the two flaps located underneath the canvas to the footrest frame.
5. Finish securing the canvas to the frame: Using both hands, continue to pull the seat canvas all the way forward to cover the footrest frame, then secure the two front and two side flaps, using the hook and loop fasteners.

Attach the Body Pad

1. Slide the body pad onto the chair frame: Slide the body pad onto the lower part of the chair frame, making sure that the frame slides into the fabric pocket located on the bottom side of the pad.
2. Secure the body pad: Smooth the body pad into place, from the footrest toward the backrest. The pad is automatically secured using the hook and loop fasteners.

Attach the Headrest Frame

1. Raise the chair to an upright position: For your convenience, and to better position the chair for the remaining assembly, use the recline lever to adjust the chair to an upright position.
2. Remove the headrest frame screws: Using the Phillips-head screwdriver (provided), remove the two screws from the headrest frame. Retain them for use in step 4.
3. Insert the headrest frame into the backrest frame: With the arc of the headrest frame pointing toward the back of the chair, slide the two ends of the headrest frame into the open tube ends at the top of the backrest frame.
4. Replace the headrest frame screws: Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, replace the two headrest frame screws, securing the headrest frame to the backrest frame.

Attach the Head Pad

1. Slide the head sock over the headrest frame: Slide the head sock over the headrest frame, as far as it will go. The padded side of the head sock should face the back of the chair.
2. Slide the head pad over the head frame: Slide the head pad over the head frame, ensuring that the frame slides into the fabric pocket located on the bottom side of the pad. Pull the head pad down as far as it will go.
3. Tuck in the body pad flap: From the front of the chair, tuck the flap on the top of the body pad up into the head pad and smooth it flat. The flap is automatically secured to the pad, using the hook and loop fasteners.
4. Attach the head pillow: Attach the head pillow straps to the head pad straps using the hook and loop fasteners. Adjust the head pillow height for maximum comfort.

Attach the Arm Caps

Remove the three screws taped to the underside of the right-hand arm cap, then place the right-hand arm cap on top of the armrest. From the underside of the armrest, secure the arm cap using the three screws. Repeat these steps to attach the left-hand arm cap.

Take a Seat

Using your Human Touch Perfect Chair is easy. Just take a seat and adjust the chair to the desired position. The Perfect Chair cradles you in zero-gravity comfort, with your feet above your heart—the ultimate neutral-posture position for back and spine relief.

Adjust the Recline Angle

To recline, gently pull up on the recline lever, lean back on the backrest to adjust it to the desired angle, then release the lever. To incline to a more upright position, gently pull up on the recline lever, then pull up on the armrests with your hands while applying slight downward pressure with your elbows, until the backrest inclines to the desired position. Release the recline lever.

Adjust the Headrest

While seated, reach up with both hands and grasp both sides of the headrest. You will feel the rigid frame beneath the soft head pad. Grasping the rigid frame, tilt the headrest forward or backward for maximum comfort. The headrest remains in this position until you adjust it again.

Getting Out of the Perfect Chair

Gently pull up on the recline lever, pull up on the armrests with your hands while applying slight downward pressure with your elbows, until the backrest inclines to a full upright position. Release the recline lever. Use the arms for support when getting up from the chair.

⚠️ CAUTION: Do not put any extra pressure on the footrest while returning the chair to an upright position. Do not push on the footrest, or lean against it.

Note: When adjusting the footrest up and down, you may notice a slight bumping sensation. This is caused by the footrest locking mechanism, and is perfectly normal.

Using the Ergo Lumbar Pillow

Your Perfect Chair comes with a unique ergo lumbar pillow for use anywhere you need extra support, and is easily formed to match your body's contours.

Using the pillow as a head pillow

1. If the head pillow is installed, remove it and attach the ergo lumbar pillow straps to the head pad using the hook and loop fasteners.
2. Adjust the pillow thickness for maximum comfort (see Adjusting Pillow Thickness on the next page).

Using the pillow for lumbar support

1. Attach the pillow straps to the pillow using the built-in hook and loop fasteners.
2. Tuck the pillow behind the lower lumbar curve in your back.
3. Adjust the pillow thickness for maximum comfort (see Adjusting Pillow Thickness on the following page).

Adjusting Pillow Thickness

1. To compress the body pad thickness, push the ball valve while leaning back against the backrest. When the pad reaches the desired thickness, release the valve.
2. To reinflate the body pad, push the ball valve without applying any pressure to the pad. When the pad reaches the desired thickness, release the valve. It takes approximately ten seconds for the pad to reach its full thickness.

Pillow Performance Notes

• You must remove all body weight from the pillow when reinflating it.
• If the pillow has been compressed for a long period of time, it may take up to one minute to restore it to its full thickness.
• The colder the pillow is, the longer it takes to react to form changes.
• Should the ball valve leak, push the black ball in and, with a cotton swab, apply a small amount of Vaseline inside the valve.
• Keep sharp objects away from the pillow. The pillow contains a precision air-tight bladder which will cause the pillow to fail if punctured.

To keep your product working and looking its best, please follow these simple care guidelines.
