Zody II
Seating Adjustment

Zody II
Zody II is designed for all the ways
you work. Easy adjustments give
you control over your own comfort,
to ensure ergonomic support for
any posture you choose throughout
the day.

Seat Height
Lets you adjust the chair to properly
position your body at the worksurface
and maintain proper blood flow in your
legs. Seat height should be adjusted to
allow your legs to maintain a 90-degree
angle to the floor or footrest.
Pull up on the lever and raise your body
out of the chair to increase seat height.
Stay in the chair and pull up on the lever
to decrease seat height.
Tilt Tension
Regulates the amount of resistance you
feel when leaning back in the chair, and
the effort required to recline backward.
You accomplish multiple tasks throughout
the day—the tension control helps you
stay comfortable.
Turn the crank forward to increase
tension; backward to decrease.
Forward Tilt
Enables you to vary your posture
throughout the day by changing the
curve of your spine.
Push down on the lever. Recline just until
you hear a click, then lean forward. Pull
up on the lever and lean back to release
forward tilt.
Multi-Position Back Stop
Lets you select an upright position or
limit the amount of recline. We all come in
different shapes and sizes—with different
comfort needs. Multiple positions in the
back stop let you adjust the chair to fit
your body.
Rotate the lever forward to engage;
rotate backward to disengage.

Dual Posture
Advanced Forward Tilt + Elevated Seat Height
Models with dual posture enable a greater degree of forward tilt to provide spinal
alignment and support for the "perching" posture between sitting and standing. This
posture offers an alternative to standing or having to use another chair when you
increase the height of your worksurface.
1. Advanced Forward Tilt
Engage advanced forward tilt by pushing
down on the forward tilt lever on the right
side of the chair. Recline just until you hear
a click, then lean forward.
2. Elevated Seat Height
Raise seat height by pulling up on seat
height adjustment lever on the right side
of the chair while raising your body out of
the chair.
To disengage dual posture, first pull up on the seat height adjustment lever to lower
seat height. Then, pull up on the forward tilt lever and lean back to release forward tilt.

Seat Depth
Helps you sit back far enough in the chair
to use the backrest without creating
pressure behind the knees. With a full 3"
of seat depth you have lots of room to
adjust, so blood flow to your legs isn’t
restricted and you stay alert.
Pull up and slide the seat forward to
lengthen, or backward to shorten.
A minimum of two fingers should fit
between the back of your calf and the
front of the seat.
Asymmetrical Lumbar Support
Maintains the lumbar curvature (lordosis)
that occurs naturally in the spine of the
lower back. Lumbar support reduces
pressure between the vertebrae, which
is important for a healthy back.
Pull the lumbar support up or push down
to adjust the height. Rotate the handles
up to increase and down to decrease the
amount of support. The handles can also
be adjusted independently to achieve
varying amounts of support on each side
of the back.

Arm Controls
Arm Height
Supports the musculature of the neck
and shoulders when set properly. Your
arms are approximately 10% of your body
weight, so it’s important you adjust the
armrest height to take weight off your
shoulders and limit fatigue.
Pull up on lever and slide the armrest
up or down as needed.
Arm Front to Back
Lets you get close enough to a worksurface
to perform tasks while maintaining proper
support from the backrest.
Grasp the armrest cap and move it forward
or backward as needed.
Arm Side to Side
Helps you move the armrest closer to or
further away from the body in order to
align with shoulder width.
Grasp the armrest cap and move it closer
to body or further away as needed.
Arm Pivot
Gives you additional flexibility to angle the
armrests for the task you’re performing
while still providing proper forearm support.
Grasp the armrest cap and rotate the front
of the armrest toward or away from your
body as needed.
