IMPORTANT:
• HIGH RESISTANCE (HR) CASTERS – Your Champion task chair may be equipped with High
Resistance (HR) casters. HR casters allow casters to roll freely when weighted or occupied but
resist rolling when unweighted or when exiting the task chair. Standard casters always roll freely
and may allow the task chair to move away from the occupant when leaving or entering the task
chair. The potential for this unintended/unweighted movement may be reduced with the use of
HR casters. Task chair users should be always attentive to their chair position when entering or
exiting the chair.
• NOTE: HIGH RESISTANCE (HR) CASTERS MAY NOT RELEASE AND ROLL FREELY IF YOU WEIGH LESS
THAN 80 POUNDS. High Resistance Casters look the same as standard casters and may not be
easily distinguished from standard casters other than by loading and unloading them in a test.
If your Champion task chair did not come with the HR Caster option, and you would like to add
them, please contact Champion Mfg. for pricing and assembly instructions. Championchair.com
[phone].
• WRINKLES IN VINYL – Storage and shipping can cause wrinkles of the vinyl on your Champion task
chair. This is normal. Please allow 1 – 2 weeks at room temperature (approx. 70 degrees) to allow
for vinyl to expand back to original appearance.

GENERAL CARE & CLEANING
• Periodically inspect tightness of all screws, bolts, nuts, or other fasteners.
Champion furnishings are built to provide durable reliable service when properly cared for. In general all of our
products should be: 1) Cleaned, 2) Rinsed and 3) Allowed to air dry. It is important to note that disinfecting a
product is not the same as cleaning the product. Disinfectants alone will not provide adequate cleaning, they
do not have grease or oil cutting properties to remove grime or hair and skin oils. Over time, the appearance and
feel and performance of your upholstery may diminish if not cleaned properly.
CLEANING
Remove grime, hair, and body oils; Your furnishings should be cleaned with mild soap & water solution and a
damp cloth on a regular basis. Avoid harsh detergents that could damage the finish of your product.
NOTE: If the furnishing is disinfected with bleach, it MUST be wiped o using only clean water on a damp
cloth and then be allowed to air dry. Failure to rinse with clean water can result in a build-up of residues
over time that can damage your product.
