4.0 SERVICING
The Gel stools are made to require no servicing during their life. There are thus no specific readjustments of the apparatus

For a better and longer life of the stool it is necessary to execute methodically and periodically a general cleaning of the
stool. It is recommended to proceed as follows:
UPHOLSTERIES
The fabric covering the stool upholstery has to be wiped with the liquid in the bottle sold by the dealer, using a soft cloth
to avoid any surface-chap and to guarantee better elasticity and smoothness of the surface.
NOTE

servicing center.
POLYURETHANE (PU) PARTS
The polyurethane parts have to be wiped with a cloth dipped in soap and water.

the stool, and which might not be described in this manual.

The stools type Gel are supplied from the factory with non-frictioned castors, which guarantee the maximum freedom of
movement of the stool at any time.
On request, it is possible to mount self-frictioned castors on the stool. These castors allow the stool to run only when the
operator is correctly seated on the stool, in order to guarantee the maximum security and avoid the stool running away
from the operator during the sitting-action.

allowing a more restful leg position.
5.3 MECHANISM HARDNESS ADJUSTMENT
