When you are sat in your chair there are 3 levers and a rod on the right side of your seat
and a bar under the front edge.
The 3 levers to the side:
The front lever controls
the seat tilt
The middle lever controls
the gas lift for seat height
adjustment
The back lever adjusts the
angle of the backrest.
The bar under the front
edge is for sliding the seat
forward or back.
The rod at the front right
hand corner pulls in or out
to control the forward (-ve)
tilt of the seat.
There is wording on the handles to help
Our recommended order of adjustments for the user is as
follows:
Seat height:
To raise the seat up lift the gas lift lever when not seated.
To lower the seat, lift the lever with your weight in the chair.
Seat depth:
Use the bar at the front of the seat similarly to the mechanism in car seats; lift the bar and slide
your bottom forward or back to increase or decrease the seat depth.
Seat tilt adjustment:
To enable forward tilt - lift seat tilt lever to unlock, lean back into the chair, pull out the rod.
To disable forward seat - lift seat tilt lever to unlock, lean back into the chair tilt, push the rod in.
We recommend forward tilt to help set your pelvis correctly - the more forward tilt the better -
but we appreciate that some people feel like they are sliding out of the chair and why the rod can
be useful.
The tension of the tilt is controlled by the handwheel under the seat.
The tension of the tilt is
controlled by the handwheel
under the seat

Arms:
The (upholstered) arms are adjustable for height, width, angle (you can swivel the pad to suit your
working arrangements such as a laptop or carrying out some intricate manual work), and depth
(you can slide the pad forward and back depending on how close you like to sit to the desk edge).
Back angle:
Lift the lever to unlock and push down to lock. The tension of this adjustment is spring controlled.
The optimum position will need to correspond with the work you are doing –for instance
prolonged typing or keyboard work will need an upright angle. Multitasking can take a more
relaxed angle.
Ratchet backrest height adjustment:
To raise the back, simply lift the back a click at a time.
To lower the back, lift the back up to its highest point to disengage the
ratchet which in turns allows the back to drop to its lowest point.
Two way adjustable lumbar:
There are two wheels attached within reach at the back of the seat, one on the left and one on the
right.
The left wheel adjusts the
lumbar up and down your
spine by turning the same
way.
The right wheel adjusts
the lumbar in and out of
your spine by turning it
clockwise or
anticlockwise.
Do not over turn these adjustment wheels.
