Shell Flexibility

Flexibility of the shell allows the chair to
automatically adapt to your movements while
providing continuous support.

Seat Height

Pneumatic: Paddle-shaped lever on right side

To raise: While raising your weight off chair,
lift lever.
To lower: While seated, lift lever.

Mechanical

To raise: While standing, turn chair counter­clockwise.
To lower: While standing, turn chair clockwise.

Adjust chair height so feet rest flat on floor
or footrest. Avoid dangling legs, which puts
pressure on the back of thighs and restricts
blood flow. Awork surface or keyboard that
seems too high or low may require adjusting.

Tilt Tension

Knob under seat at front of chair

To increase: While seated, turn knob to the left.
To decrease: While seated, turn knob to the right.

Depending on the desired tilt resistance, a num­ber of turns may be required.

Increased tilt tension provides more stability
and back support while you recline. Too
much resistance may make it difficult to
recline. Depending on weight and preference,
different people will require different levels
of tilt resistance.

Arm Height

Button underneath each armpad

To raise or lower arm: While seated, grasp
arm and push button in. Raise or lower to
desired height. Indentations on inside of
arm indicate height setting.

Adjust height of each chair arm so your
arms are supported. This helps take weight
off your shoulders.

Arm Angle

Front of each armpad

To swing arms in or out: While seated,
grasp front end of armpad and pivot it to
the left or right.

Adjusting arm angle can help support
different types of work and shifts in posture.
Swing arms inward for support while using
keyboard. Swing arm out to support use of
computer mouse.

Arm Width

Back of each armpad

To move armpads closer or further apart:

While seated, grasp back of armpad and slide
it toward you or away from you.

Adjust the distance between the arms so
your elbows are supported. Elbows should be
positioned straight down from shoulders.

Lumbar Depth

Pump pad and release button on front of
right back support

To increase lumbar support: While lifting
your weight off back of chair, push pump pad
in to inflate lumbar support and achieve
desired level of support.
To decrease lumbar support: While seated,
press release button to deflate lumbar support
and achieve desired level of support.

Adjust lumbar support so that it comfortably
supports the natural curve of your spine.

Lumbar Height

Small handles on outside of chair back

To change height: While seated, completely
deflate lumbar support by pressing release
button. While lifting your weight off back of
chair, grasp handles and raise or lower lumbar
support to desired position.

Adjust lumbar height so that it comfortably
supports the natural curve of your spine.

Tilt Lock

Paddle-shaped lever on left side
of tilt mechanism

To lock chair in upright position: While
seated upright, swing paddle back.
To release tilt lock: Swing paddle forward.

Tilt lock allows you to lock chair in a fixed
upright position for the extra stability that
some tasks may require.

Footring Height

Footring at base of chair

To set: Lift and turn ring counterclockwise;
set at desired height.
To lock: Turn ring clockwise.

As you sit, your feet should be comfortably
supported by the footring. This relieves
pressure on the backs of your thighs.

Instructions on this card show all
possible adjustments. Specific adjustments
vary according to chair model.
