Snap™Seating
Task Chair
How do I raise or lower the seat?
(For all models, except for OEI48S)
Simply pull the seat lever up, toward seat, to
activate seat height mechanism. To lower the
seat, pull up on lever while sitting. To raise
height, you should sit up, slightly out of the
chair, while lifting lever. Release lever to lock
in place.
How do I change seat depth?
(For OEI42, OEI46, OEI47, OEI48S)
The handwheel located on the underside of
the back support allows the back to be
adjusted horizontally. With handwheel
loosened, back can be slid forward or back-
ward to change seat depth. Use care to make
sure handwheel is tightened to avoid injury.
How do I adjust back and seat angle?
(For OEI44)
Grasp lever under right side of seat and pull
up to adjust back and seat angle. Shift
weight on seat and pressure on back to
desired position. Release lever to lock.
(For OEI48)
This model has separate levers for the
seat adjustment and back adjustment. Also,
only with OEI48, you can allow the seat and
back to “free-float” (move with your body)
if you leave the seat and back handles in the
“up” position.
How do I adjust height of back?
(For all models)
Loosen handwheel located on lower portion
of back support. Slide back support up or
down to individual preference. Tighten
handwheel to hold in place. Use care to
make sure handwheel is tightened to
avoid injury.
Can I adjust the arms?
(Model BJR3)
Arms can be adjusted vertically. Press the
buttons at the sides of the arms and move
the arms up or down as desired.
(Model BJR3 and BR1)
For horizontal adjustment, loosen
handwheels under either side of seat and
slide arms in or out.
Note: Care should be used to make sure
handwheels are tightened to avoid injury.
Care of your
Snap™Seating
Task Chair
Care for your Snap Task chair is easy.
It requires no more care than any other fine
seating. Exclusive functional mechanisms
and component integrity are thoroughly
tested. All Snap chairs meet or exceed
BIFMA test standards. A ten-year warranty
covers structural integrity, while a one-year
warranty covers upholstery.
Periodic light cleaning is all that is
necessary. Be certain to vacuum upholstery
frequently and thoroughly.
Use mild soap or detergent with luke-warm
water and a soft, non-scratching cloth to
clean plastic surfaces, upholstery, and
powder coated metal.
Stains and spots may require a more
thorough cleaning. For this we recommend:
Fabric Upholstery – Use a foam-type
cleaner such as Johnson Wax “Glory” or
Earl Grissmer Co. “Blue Lustre” for
general cleaning.
For more stubborn spots and stains, use
Texie Chemical Co.’s “K2r”. Always follow
the manufacturer’s directions.
Plastic parts and powder-coated
finishes – Chewing gum and similar
stubborn spots may be removed with
cigarette lighter fluid. Wipe dry
immediately. Sunnyside Plastic cleaner is
ideal for light cleaning. Buffing with this
product restores luster to smooth surfaces.
Its anti-static properties help repel dust and
dirt. High quality wax, such as Johnson’s
“Glo-Coat” or “Simonize”, restores luster
and protects the finish. Follow container
directions and apply with a soft cloth and
buff thoroughly.
Caution: Do not use dry cleaning
agents on upholstery, or coarse cloth
when applying cleaning agents to
smooth surfaces.
