seat height, depth, and ack positions; armrest height, depth,
angle and width; tilt resistance and headrest position*.
If your chair has an optional headrest*, adjust1
headrest to desired position for optimal cranial
support. The headrest should cradle your lower
head and neck as you recline.
Adjust ack height so that it comforta ly supports2

chair ensuring good ack support. Set the tilt
tension to create neutral resistance when leaning
ack. Leave ack unlocked for ‘free float’ mode to
encourage dynamic ody movement.
For maximum comfort, your arms should make3
contact with the armpad without any lift at your
shoulders.
Set seat slide to create a space ehind knees of4
20–40mm.
Set seat height with your ack firmly against the5
chair ack. Adjust the seat gas lift to the proper
height so that your feet are flat on the ground with
your knees close to a 90 degree angle.
