Unpacking
EQUIPMENT ALERT
To avoid damage, do not use a knife or any other
sharp object for opening cartons.
Assembly
Remove the stool from the carton. Depending on the
optional items that you purchased, assemble the stool
in the following order:
- Optional Lab Height Kit Assembly
- Optional Armrest Assembly
- Optional Backrest Assembly
- Seat Assembly
Optional Lab Height Kit Assembly
Place the base stool on its side. Remove the roller
base from the gas cylinder by using a hammer to pound
the roller base from the gas cylinder. To prevent
marking, use a piece of cardboard or wood over the
roller base before striking it. Strike as close to the gas
cylinder as possible and rotate to a different leg with
each blow. Insert extension tube thru the foot ring.
Tighten the knob firmly to prevent the foot ring from
rotating around the tube. Insert the gas cylinder into the
extension tube (see Figure 1). Finally, insert the
extension tube into the roller base.

If you have ordered a Lab Height Kit, please assemble the Lab Height Kit to the base stool first. We
suggest that no armrests or backrests be mounted to
the stool during the lab height assembly.

The Lab Height Kit cannot be used on 427 Foot
Release Models.

Remove the seat cushion from its carton. Align the
three velcro patches on the bottom of the seat cushion
with the three velcro hook patches on the base stool.
Then, place the seat cushion onto the base stool. If the
cushion isn't centered on the base stool, pull the
cushion up and try again.
