Disassembly / Assembly Instructions Stressless®Sofa
Stressless®Sofa Assembly / Disassembly: Step 1 - Removing the seat cushion
1. Start the disassembly of the Stressless®sofa by removing the metal cover that locks the seat / back connections on
both sides (1a).
2. Push in the rings around the bolts (2a) and lift the back straight up. If the seat/back connection bolt is stuck, loosen
it by giving it a slight knock with a piece of wood and a hammer (2b). It is advantageous if 2 people can carry this out
as ideally the back should be lifted at the same time as the bolt is given a knock. Be careful with the back cover as it
can be scratched by the sharp angles of the bolt.
3. IMPORTANT: Fold the back forward, over the seat, and slide the seat and the back off the telescopic arms by lifting
the seat in a rotating movement towards you.
Exchange both the telescopic arms and the brackets on the seat. The seat brackets underneath the seat are loosened by
a screw.
Stressless®Sofa Assembly / Disassembly: Step 2 - Replacing the telescopic arm.
4,5. Slide the telescopic arm (the silver part) all the way out and pull back the “adjustment wheel”.
6,7. Push down the little button that is underneath the adjustment wheel and pull the silver part out. Replace it by
pushing it in, and make sure the adjustment wheel is correctly positioned (approximately an inch down from the silver part).
** IImmppoorrttaanntt::When refixing seat back cushion, ensure that bracket on telescope arm is positioned as shown in diagram 4.
Stand behind the sofa and re-fit the seat with the same movement as when it was taken off. It might be easier to lock
the telescopic arms half way up, look and feel underneath to ensure that both brackets are fixed. Put the back into the
seat/back connection bolts. Sit down in the seat to ensure they are correctly fitted. Replace the metal cover that locks
the connection to avoid the back coming off accidentally.

* Please ensure that bracket on seat cush-
ion is positioned so that the cut end of
seat bracket “half moon” is facing the front
of the seat cushion.
