of charge after a claim has been submitted and
approved by ONGO®. All you need to pay is the costs
of transportation. The warranty does not apply to
normal wear and tear of parts subject to wear, such
as the cover material, defects resulting from improper
handling (particularly improper care or damage from
knocks, scratches or rips, use of force) and any
modifications made by third parties that are not
authorized by ONGO® and not TÜV-certified.

Thank you for choosing the innovative ONGO®Stand.
The ONGO®Stand is for people who have realized
that it is healthier and more productive to work while
standing. And also for people who are required
to stand due to their work but want to rest without
giving up their mobility.
Particularly noteworthy on the ONGO®Stand are the
seat and the elastic support of the standpipe in the
3-armed foot. The shape of the seat was chosen in
accordance with ergonomic requirements so that the
user will feel comfortable both sitting on it as well
as using it as a pure standing aid to lean on. The seat
adjusts to each person’s working conditions opti-
mally through the elastic mounting of the standpipe.
This allows a range of positions and inclinations of
the seat letting the user become more flexible and
healthier.
Assembly
Out of respect for the environment the ONGO®Stand
will be sent in a size-optimized box. For this the Stand
has been separated into its three main components
(seat, gas spring and foot). You will only need to place
the gas spring into the cones on the seat and foot.
Please follow our assembly guide:
1. First lay the seat in front of you on a table. Then
take the gas spring and insert it into the cone holder
of the seat so that the arrow marks (*) are in a line
between the seat and the gas spring. Press it well,
and then remove the marks, see Fig. 1.
Operating and assembly instructions
2. Place the base of the chair on the floor und push
the gas spring and seat into the cone holder on the
base so that the arrow marks (*) are in line with the
gas spring, see Fig. 2. Sit down and push on the seat
so that the gas spring solidifies its hold. Now you can
remove the arrow markings.
(*) The markings should help you position the seat in
exact alignment with the foot. This is important
because the gas spring will automatically be reset in
one direction. Therefore, an alignment correction can
only be made through releasing one of the cones. If
this becomes necessary we recommend tapping
the underside of the seat
with a hammer while
pulling on the cone holder
until it is possible to loos-
en and re-align the seat.
Under no circumstance
however use force on the
gas spring!

Height adjustment
The seat adjusts precisely to your needs. To adjust
the height, sit or lean on the ONGO®Stand. Press the
bar located below the seat on one of its sides; to
lower push your weight down, to raise lighten the
load on the seat.
Elasticity of stand pipe
In the center of the underside of the aluminium base is
an opening, through which the central holding screw
can be reached. If you turn the screw with a 6 Allen
wrench to the right, you will reduce the elasticity and
this reduce the ease to deflect the standing pipe. If
you turn the screw to the left, you will increase the
elasticity and at the same time the ease to deflect
the standing pipe. Make sure that you do not loosen
the screws too far. This would loosen the elastic joint
in the socket.
Seat cushion
The seat cushion for the saddle seat of the ONGO®-
Stand is optional and can be easily attached and
subsequently removed from the seat for replacement.
Fit the cushion to the seat so that the lugs fit into the
holes provided, apply pressure to clip on. To remove
loosen the locking lugs on the bottom with slight
pressure and lift the pad. This makes the ONGO®Stand
ideal for a large variation of workplaces for example
the production, oce or reception.
Caring for your ONGO®Stand
Cleaning the microfiber fleece on the seat cushion
can be done with commercially available cleaning
agents. Please note that the staining by jeans or
other textiles is excluded from any manufacturer
warranty.
The saddle seat can be kept clean with mild house-
hold or plastic detergent and a soft cloth. Do not use
strong solvents or abrasives .
Recycling
Sustainability and durability are top priorities in all of
our design, production and distribution activities.
Short transportation distances reduce environmental
impact. The materials of the ONGO®Stand can be
separated relatively easily for recycling. The compo-
nents either have material labels or can be identified
easily using the material list. Dispose of individual
materials and components properly according to
local recycling and disposal requirements. To avoid
unnecessary transportation, the main components of
the ONGO®Stand are manufactured by a capable,
ISO-certified company in Germany, configured with
other components (pneumatic height adjuster, cover
etc.) according to the customer’s specifications, and
shipped directly. ONGO® GmbH accepts discarded
stools for recycling.
Made in Germany
The design, origin of the materials used and assem-
bly of our products stand for lasting quality and
durability.
Warnings
• Seek medical advice before using. In case of acute
back pain you have to ask your doctor or physical
therapist how to use in your specific case.
• Tipping hazard. Despite the non-slip NBR glides of
the foot base, inappropriate movements can cause
the base to slide outward, causing the stool to tip
over. Do not use the ONGO®Stand as a ladder. Be
particularly careful with children who cannot yet

reach the floor with their feet when sitting on the
stool. The ONGO®Stand was designed for persons
who have to stand because of their work require-
ments, but want to have relief without restricting
their flexibility. It has not been designed and manu-
factured for any other purposes.
Use the ONGO®Stand only for the intended purpose.
• Use by one person only. The ONGO®Stand was
designed and manufactured only for the use by one
person at any time. If it is being used by several
persons simultaneously it might collapse and cause-
serious injuries.
Its maximum load is 110 kg or 243 lbs.
• Do not perform mechanical work on the pneumatic
height adjuster. Working on or replacing the pneu-
matic height adjuster must be performed by trained
personnel only.
• Use of force. Any misuse and/or application of force
on the ONGO®Stand might result in serious physical
injuries.
• Packaging material. Dispose of any packaging
material properly. Keep packaging material out of
the reach of children. A risk of suocation might
occur.
