OPENING THE CHAIR CLOSING THE CHAIR
1. The chair ships with Carrying
Clips installed. Remove them from
the bottom of your Ollie Chair.
Keep these clips for transporting
your chair longer distances.
2. Insert your hands into each of
the two handhold cutouts on the
back of the chair. Your ngers
should be grasping the metal
inside the chair, with your thumbs
on the outside of the chair.
Pick the chair up about 12 inches
(30 cm) so that the front of the
chair will not hit the ground when
it opens. Pro tip: Basically lift it
so the back legs align with your
knees, unless you’re really short.
(You’ll get the hang of this by your
second try.)
3. Holding onto the chair (hands
in the handholds, thumbs out)
rotate your wrists downward so
that the chair tilts forward and
downward. The chair will automati-
cally spring oopen.You should not
need to “shake” it open. Place
the four legs of the chair down
rmly on the ground.
4. Stand behind the open chair
with the metal back facing towards
you.
Grasp the top of the chair with
both hands and tilt it back towards
you about 30 degrees.
5. Still holding the top of the chair
with one hand, grasp the handle
that is attached to the pull cord
with the other hand.
Pull upwards on the pull cord
handle while using the other hand
on top of the chair to counter the
force. Pull continually with a
positive motion until the chair is
fully closed. Lean the chair back
more if the tambour does not fall
uidly.
Stand behind the closed chair with
the wooden slat surface facing
away from you.
Make sure that the wooden handle
on the pull cord is free and
untangled from any other part of
the chair. Note: The chair ships
with the handle inserted into one of
the handholds, so you may need to
pull the handle out.
DON’T SIT YET!
Make sure that the sides of the chair
are straight so that the middle hinge is
not bent in or out. The 3 Tambour clips
on each side of the tambour should
be hooked onto the metal anges on
both sides of the chair. You should be
able to pull gently upward on the seat
where the clips are to see that the tam-
bour
is
attached
to
the
metal
body.
