CARING
FOR YOUR
CHAIR
We offer a full range of service parts
ensuring your chair can be well
maintained. This means your chair
will provide you with all the comfort
and support you need now and in
the future.
Removal of dirt, dust and debris is
highly recommended to help ensure
the longevity of your chair and to
keep it looking as great as the day
you bought it. Whether your chair
is fabric, vinyl or leather, regular
vacuuming will help get rid of the
dirt and dust that can accumulate
on the upholstery. Please make sure
you use a soft vacuum attachment
to protect against scratches and
also keep suction to a minimum to
avoid creating lasting marks.
The hardware can be wiped down
with a damp cloth as can vinyl
and leather upholstery. Fabric
upholstery may need the addition
of a fabric cleaner that has been
specically formulated for use on
upholstery.
It is also a good idea to periodically
clean your castors. Over time, dirt
and debris can build up and make
your chair harder to manoeuvre,
putting unnecessary strain on your
body. A small spray of WD-40 will
also help to keep those castors
rolling smoothly.

Pull the seat angle lever
backwards to release the
rocking action. Ensure you brace
yourself in case the tension is too
strong or too weak. Ideally you want
the chair to follow and support your
movements
1
If you feel the chair pushing
you forward then decrease the
tension by turning the wheel
clockwise. If you feel the chair tilt
backwards too easily then increase
the tension by turning the wheel
anti-clockwise
Ensure the rocking action is
locked prior to getting in or out
of the chair by pushing the lever
forwards
