DISCLAIMER
The user shall determine the suitability of the Salli®Saddle Chair and its accessories for his or her intended use and
shall assume all risk and liability in connection therewith; this will include all items manufactured or distributed by Salli
Systems / Easydoing Oy (“Salli”). Salli cannot accept responsibility for injury and/or damage that occurs in connection
with the testing, trial use or regular use of the product except as provided for in mandatory law. Great care should be
taken when using the products and/or accessories related to product.
Before using the product the user is required to read the whole instruction manual and to follow the instructions.
Don’t use the product...
1. if you get any pelvic, extremity, back, or other kinds of pain from using the chair other than normal muscle
soreness which comes from adaptation. You might also be using the chair in the wrong way.
2. if your sense of balance or muscle control is abnormal or impaired for any reason.
3. if you use medication or drugs that interfere with your sense of balance or muscle control.
4. if you do not or cannot adjust your worktop to a functional height that is compatible with the optimal height of the
Salli Saddle chair. The denition of the optimal height of the table / work is described in the following instructions.
5. if you weigh over 120 kg. The recommended maximum weight of a Salli Strong user is 150 kg.
Due to the danger of falling down do not use yourself or allow children or anyone else to use a product unless the feet of the user
reach the oor rmly when sitting down*. Playing with the chair is prohibited. For shorter users we recommend changing the gas
spring to a shorter model to ensure the safe use of the product. Gas springs are available from Salli and authorized dealers.
ASSEMBLING THE CHAIR
IMPORTANT! READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE PRODUCT!
Place the base on the
oor, with the castors
against the oor. Slip
the wider end of the
gas spring into the hole
in the base.
Insert the seat into the
narrow end of the gas spring.
Adjust the spring a few times
to its extreme positions by
lifting the height adjustment
lever up*. This will guarantee
the best working condition of
the spring.

GAS SPRING CLEANING AND LUBRICATING
The base and the gas spring can be cleaned by wiping with a disinfectant cloth. If the gas spring
becomes slow or sti󰀨, spray the narrow end of it with a universal lubricant.
INCLINATION ADJUSTMENT
Hold onto the chair with your
hand and release the inclination
mechanism by lifting up the
inclination adjustment lever.
When adjusting the angle, press
or lift the seat by hand; at rst the
mechanism is a little sti󰀨.
When the angle feels right,
release the lever to lock the
mechanism. In the best inclination
position you do not feel like you’re
sliding forward or backward, and
your back gets a natural curve.

3Try the inclination and width adjustments in di󰀨erent
combinations to nd the optimal adjustments for
you. It’s recommended to keep the middle gap
open to minimize pressure in the pelvic opening.
CLEANING THE SEAT
Leather
Vacuum-clean regularly.
Leather stays clean and
beautiful longer if wiped
regularly with a damp cloth.
Clean stains immediately.
Use a damp cloth or paper
towel with some water
or mild cleanser. Special
leather conditioners can also
be used. Some dyed textiles
might stain light-coloured
leather.
Articial leather*
Wipe the stains with mild
soap and water. Let the
surface air dry. If you use a
solution containing alcohol,
test it rst under the seat.
ESD fabric
ESD fabric is best cleaned
by dry cleaning or with a
vacuum cleaner.
Polyurethane
Remove stains quickly
by using slightly alkaline
washing agents (max 5 % of
alcohol). Wipe the surface
with a moist cloth and
lukewarm water, and wipe
dry if necessary. Do not use
strong alkalis, or bleaches
such as chlorite, acetone,
xylene, or strong vinegar.
IMPORTANT! THE CONDITIONS OF USE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE CHAIR
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Seat up: Lighten your weight by reserving weight to your
feet on the oor and lift the height adjustment lever up.
When the seat height feels right, release the lever.
12Seat down: The seat is pressed down
by the weight of the user, when the
height adjustment lever is lifted up.
Salli Saddle Chair is designed for indoor use at normal room temperatures in a dry environment. For humid
environments we recommend the rustproof Salli Stainless. Normal metal parts will corrode if exposed to moisture.
We don’t recommend genuine leather upholstery in a hospital environment or in comparable areas with clean room
requirements. In these areas, we recommend articial leather or polyurethane upholstery. The chair must not be
used in hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers due to the risk of explosion.
*Also ESD articial leather

Pull the castors o󰀨 by hand from a chair that is turned sideways.
If necessary, the castors can be cranked out with e.g. a at-blade
screwdriver which is placed between the base and the castor*.
Press the new castors
into place.
1 2
REPLACING THE CASTORS
*If a castor plug remains caught in the base, grip the plug with pliers and pull. You may need to tap the
pliers with a hammer until the plug comes loose. If your castors get sti󰀨 after a few years, replace them
all. Please note that you should select castors that are suitable for the oor material.
DISASSEMBLING THE CHAIR
Raise the seat to its highest
position. Turn the chair
sideways*.
Place tool A (see picture) at the junction
of the gas spring and the seat, so that
the wedge-shaped end points towards
the base.
12
Hold tool A in position and hit the
wedge with tool B (see picture) or a
hammer until the seat comes o󰀨.
3Position tool B at the bottom of the gas
spring. If needed, place the gas spring
upside down between your knees.
4
Hold tool B in position and hit its
end with a hammer, until the gas
spring comes o󰀨.
5*Disassembling is easier with an assistant. In
this case the assistant holds the chair upside
down. Use special tools for disassembling Salli.
You can borrow the tools from your Salli dealer.
DISPOSING OF THE CHAIR
At rst, disassamble the chair according to the instructions. Cut o󰀨 the upholstery of the seat and remove the
padding and plastic parts. Remove the plastic parts of the castors e.g. in a vise with a hammer and a chisel.
Salli Saddle Chair consists of metal, plastic and (depending on the upholstery) leather, articial leather, ESD articial
leather or ESD fabric. Dispose of the materials according to valid waste legislation.
SITTING ON AND GETTING OFF SALLI
Before you sit down, adjust the chair as low as possible by using your body
weight. Stand beside the chair and lift one foot up over the back of the chair
to the other side and sit down. You may want to hold onto the chair with your
hand while sitting down. This way the chair will not roll away from you. Do not
sit down on the chair the traditional way, i.e. from in front of the chair with your
buttocks foremost. The chair might slide away and you might fall. You will also
end up in the wrong sitting position on the front edge of the chair. Make sure
that you don’t accidentally move the chair away when you lift your foot over it.
Salli Saddle Chairs are higher than traditional chairs.
To get up, move your feet slightly forward and stand up by putting your weight
on your feet. This way the chair remains behind you.
Your sitting-related ailments have taken years or even decades to develop. The new ergonomics will start the positive
change in your body immediately, but the deeper and wider impacts take time. For example, correcting your posture
will take years. However, you will notice the rst positive e󰀨ects already after two weeks.

TABLE AND MONITOR HEIGHT
Adjust the table so that your elbows are in a 90 degree angle.
The elbows rest relaxed on the pads on the table, next to your
body. Adjust the table a bit higher for passive visual tasks (e.g.
internet, reading) and a bit lower (3–4 cm) for active writing.
We recommend an electronically adjustable table that can be
brought up to the standing height as well. Learn more about
Salli’s electronically adjustable tables at our website.
Pay also attention to the height of the monitors so that you don’t
accidentally lower your head forward. The head weighs several
kilos and easily makes the neck muscles tense, disturbing the
circulation into the head. The brain doesn’t get enough oxygen,
you get tired and get headaches.
MOVING AROUND WITH SALLI
You can easily move sideways by pushing with one
foot and pulling with the other. Make use of the swing
mechanism of Salli Swing and Salli SwingFit, roll
on the chair to fetch things, walk while talking on
the phone, exercise for a couple of minutes, work
standing at times. Remember to take breaks!
The sitting position on Salli Saddle Chair di󰀨ers from that on a conventional chair, and in the beginning your muscles
and tissues can get sore. The sitting bones carry the weight of the upper body, which might cause that area to feel
sore. Accustom your body to the new position in peace and increase daily sitting time little by little.
IMPORTANT! ADAPTING MAY TAKE TIME
SITTING POSITION AND SEAT HEIGHT
In the optimal sitting position the angle in your knees and between your
thighs and upper body is about 135 degrees and your heels are positioned
almost directly under your hip joints. In this position your pelvis will tilt
forward so that your lower back forms a natural curve, and your upper back
will straighten. Legs should be relaxed, not hanging in the air, and feet
should rest on the oor. Thighs should be relaxed against the chair, forming
a 90 degree angle relative to each other.
On the average, on a saddle chair one sits about 25–40 cm (10”–16”)
higher than on a conventional chair. To nd your optimal sitting position and
seat height, do the following: Raise the seat so high that your feet hang
in the air. Relax and let your thighs and pelvis stretch for 1–2 minutes. Let
gravity do the stretching for you. Then slowly lower the chair by lifting up
the height adjustment lever until your heels touch the oor.
In the right position the buttocks and the back edge of the chair are level with
each other. Sitting too far in the front diminishes both comfortability and sitting
health. In the right position the sitting bones settle to where the padding is the
thickest. Most of the weight of the person sitting is on the sitting bones.

Attention! Be careful not to place your toes under the
castors when you’re using the chair.
