Shell Flexibility
Flexibility of the shell allows the chair to
automatically adapt to your movements while
providing continuous support.
Seat Height
Pneumatic: Paddle-shaped lever on right side
To raise: While raising your weight off chair,
lift lever.
To lower: While seated, lift lever.
Mechanical
To raise: While standing, turn chair counter-
clockwise.
To lower: While standing, turn chair clockwise.
Adjust chair height so feet rest flat on floor
or footrest. Avoid dangling legs, which puts
pressure on the back of thighs and restricts
blood flow. A work surface or keyboard that
seems too high or low may require adjusting.

Tilt Tension
Knob under seat at front of chair
To increase: While seated, turn knob to the left.
To decrease: While seated, turn knob to the right.
Depending on the desired tilt resistance, a num-
ber of turns may be required.
Increased tilt tension provides more stability
and back support while you recline. Too
much resistance may make it difficult to
recline. Depending on weight and preference,
different people will require different levels
of tilt resistance.
Arm Height
Button underneath each armpad
To raise or lower arm: While seated, grasp
arm and push button in. Raise or lower to
desired height. Indentations on inside of
arm indicate height setting.
Adjust height of each chair arm so your
arms are supported. This helps take weight
off your shoulders.

ArmAngle
Front of each armpad
To swing arms in or out: While seated,
grasp front end of armpad and pivot it to
the left or right.
Adjusting arm angle can help support
different types of work and shifts in posture.
Swing arms inward for support while using
keyboard. Swing arm out to support use of
computer mouse.
Arm Width
Back of each armpad
To move armpads closer or further apart:
While seated, grasp back of armpad and slide
it toward you or away from you.
Adjust the distance between the arms so
your elbows are supported. Elbows should be
positioned straight down from shoulders.

Lumbar Depth
Pump pad and release button on front of
right back support
To increase lumbar support: While lifting
your weight off back of chair, push pump pad
in to inflate lumbar support and achieve
desired level of support.
To decrease lumbar support: While seated,
press release button to deflate lumbar support
and achieve desired level of support.
Adjust lumbar support so that it comfortably
supports the natural curve of your spine.
Lumbar Height
Small handles on outside of chair back
To change height: While seated, completely
deflate lumbar support by pressing release
button. While lifting your weight off back of
chair, grasp handles and raise or lower lumbar
support to desired position.
Adjust lumbar height so that it comfortably
supports the natural curve of your spine.
