1. Seat height adjustment
Tip!
The seat height of your swivel chair can be
continuously adjusted using a gas spring.
To adjust the height, pull the lever at the front
right under the seat upwards. If you take your
weight off the chair, the seat will rise. If you put
weight on the seat, it will lower. Release the
lever to set the seat at the desired height.
You are seated correctly when your knee joint is
at an angle of around 90°.

2. Body weight adjustment
Note!
Tip!
The body weight setting (counter-pressure of the
backrest) can be rapidly adjusted by means of a
lever under the seat on the right.
Turn the lever downwards to increase the back-
rest counter-pressure.
Turn the lever upwards to reduce the backrest
counter-pressure.
Body weight adjustment is only possible with the
backrest in the forward-most position (with no
pressure against the backrest).
The correct backrest counter-pressure in relation
to body weight is essential for healthy posture.
Set the counter-pressure in such a way that your
back is well supported by the backrest in all
seated positions.

3. Locking of the seat and backrest
Occupational Health Specialists recommend a
”dynamic” posture, i.e. frequent changes in
posture.
If you prefer to work for long periods without
changing position, you can deactivate the
”synchronised movement” by pushing the lever
at the front left under the seat downwards.
This locks the seat in position. Pull the lever
upwards again to reactivate the ”synchronised
movement”.

4. Seat depth adjustment (optional)
Tip!
The seat depth can be adjusted for adaptation
to different heights and/or leg lengths. The seat
depth adjustment option is always combined
with the adjustable seat tilt.
To adjust the seat depth, first lock the
”synchronised movement” (see point 3), then push
the lever on the left to the front. Now you can
slide the seat until you reach the desired seat
depth. Push the lever backwards to lock the seat
in place.
There should be a gap about the size of a fist
between the edge of the seat and the back of
your knees.

5. Seat tilt adjustment
Tip!
The seat tilt can be adjusted. To do this, stand
up from the chair and turn the lever on the left
under the seat to the front. The seat surface tilts
forwards slightly. Turn the lever back and the rear
edge of the seat returns to the original position.
A slight forward tilt is recommended for good
upright seated posture. As the spine auto-
matically assumes its natural S shape in this
position.

6. Backrest height adjustment
Tip!
You can adapt the backrest height to suit your
own back and thereby take the strain off the
back and muscles. To do this, pull the lever on
the back of the backrest outwards. Adjust the
height of the backrest. And release the lever to
lock the backrest in the desired position.
The backrest is set at the correct height when
you can feel comfortable support in the region
of the lower back.

7. Adjusting the lumbar support (optional)
Tip!
The depth of the lumbar support can be adjusted
to take account of the form of the user’s back,
particularly in the lumbar region.
To adjust the lumbar support push the lever on
the back of the backrest upwards. The lumbar
area has a pronounced curve. Push the lever
downwards and the lumbar area becomes flatter.
Adjust the height of the lumbar support so that
it gives you comfortable support in the region of
the lower back.

8. Headrest (model cat99, cpl99)
The headrest can be adjusted in height and tilt.
To adjust the height, slide the headrest up or
down until it clicks into place.
To adjust the angle, tilt it backwards or forwards
in the same way.
