NOTE: If there is a protective cover on the top of the gas piston, please remove it.



2. ASSEMBLING THE BACKREST

  • Open the hardware bag labeled STEP 2.
  • Lay the Backrest (1) face down on a flat surface.
  • Lift the bottom flap to reveal the four threaded holes.
  • Secure the Mounting Bracket (8) to the Backrest (1) using four sets of M8 35mm Screws (13), M8 Washers (16) and Spring Washers (17).

3. ATTACHING THE SEAT MECHANISM TO THE BACKREST

USER MANUAL


WARNING: Improper use of this chair may cause damage to the chair or result in personal injury. Please use this chair as intended.

1. TILT LOCK

The left-side lever will lock and unlock the chair tilt function.

  • Pull the left-side lever handle up to unlock the tilt function.
  • Push the left-side lever handle down to lock the tilt function.

WARNING: Do not apply pressure to the seat back prior to pulling the lever. The sudden shift of weight may cause the chair to become unstable which may cause damage to the chair and/or result in personal injury.


2. TILT TENSION ADJUSTMENT

  • Tighten the knob (+) to increase tilt resistance.
  • Loosen the knob (-) to decrease tilt resistance.

TIP: If the chair tilts easily, you may want to increase the tension. Alternatively, decrease the tension if you find it too hard to lean back while sitting in the chair.


3. HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The right-side lever allows you to raise or lower the height of your chair.

  • To lower the height of the chair, pull the right-side lever up while weight is applied to the chair.
  • To increase the height, pull the right-side lever up while the chair is empty.

SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE - TYPE C


  • Use a dry cloth to wipe surface stains. Stubborn stains can be gently wiped with a warm, damp cloth or with a mild cleaner. Caution: Do no use alcohol, solvents, or corrosive liquids when cleaning.
  • Your chair’s casters are designed for use on carpet and hard flooring only. Avoid using the chair on sloped or uneven surfaces to prevent sliding or damage.
  • This chair is designed for office or home-office use. It is not intended for medical or rehabilitation purposes or for use in humid, corrosive, or high-temperature environments, or as a ladder or climbing aid.
  • Every six months, inspect the gas cylinder and casters for looseness or unusual noises. For replacement of your chair's adjustable gas lift, only qualified personnel should service the product. Please contact CORSAIR customer service for more details.
