BEFORE INSTALLATION
Please examine the item for any visible damage before use. If you see any damage or
suspect a fault, please do not use the product, but contact your supplier immediately
for support.
Please dispose of all packaging carefully.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Remove the ‘E’ clip from the extension leg and extend all legs evenly to the desired
height ensuring you do not exceed the last punched hole of the extension leg. (see fig.
1)
Once you have achieved the desired height; reinstall the ‘E’ clip, ensuring that it has
passed through the extension leg and that it fits neatly and snugly around the outside
leg. (see fig. 2).
Note the perching stool is designed to slant to the front. Do not adjust any of
the legs to make the seat level as this will cause excessive stress to the legs
compromising user safety and possibly leading to permanent damage of the
perching stool, including fracture of the tubular and other sections.
COMPOSITION
The perching stools are made from mild steel PPA/epoxy coated with upholstered
CMHR foam and fire retardant vinyl seats or contoured polyurethane seats.

USE OF THE PERCHING STOOL
When moving always lift the perching stool by placing you hands on the tubular metal
frame beneath the seat.
Do not allow children or unauthorised persons to play with the equipment or
use without proper supervision.
Do not rock back and forth or sideways when using the stool as this will cause
excessive stress and possible damage and failure which may cause injury.
Do not use the perching outside the home or on uneven surfaces (such as in
the garden) as this will cause stress to the legs and possible damage which
may cause injury.
Do not place fingers or foreign objects into any of the exposed tubular
sections as this can lead to serious injury.
CLEANING
Prior to cleaning remove all pin clips and the four extension legs with the ferrules fitted.
Clean these items separately to the main frame.
Clean the upholstery using a non-abrasive cleaner or mild detergent with a soft cloth.
Abrasive cleaners e.g. AJAX and/ or abrasive cleaning pads will seriously damage the
upholstery beyond repair.
The products in this group can be treated with formaldehyde (upholstery only), but it is
important that this treatment be carried out by an approved contractor or an
experienced person and under suitable conditions.
