the seat flange firmly.

• When assembling the footrest, do NOT use any screws other than those provided by Takara Belmont (located on the underside of chair top).

Upholstery Care

The following guidance applies to both synthetic and
natural leather upholsteries.

Adherence of fabric dyes:

The upholstery may be stained by coming into contact with fabric, belts or
other such attire. In order to avoid infiltration by plasticiser when colour
has been adhered, apply a solution of neutral detergent diluted by about
10% to a soft towel and wipe off the colour as soon as possible. After
wiping off the colour, wipe the area dry.

Colour deterioration and staining caused by contact:

• Contact with things such as other plastic parts, paints, solvents,
and adhesive tape may cause changes to the surface shine, cracking,
deformation, or peeling.

• Contact with newspaper or printed materials may cause colour staining.

• Contact with liquids such as benzene, nail polish remover, or alcohol
may cause the surface to discolour, dissolve, harden, soften, peel, extract
plasticiser, or experience changes to its shine.

• Using bleach or sheets that use bleach may cause discolouration or
changes to shine.

• Keep all sharp objects away from the upholstery.

• When placed next to a source of excessive heat such as an iron or
heater, deformation or discolouration may occur.

• Shield the upholstery with a curtain or other such item so that it does
not come into contact with direct sunlight. Otherwise, surface changes,
shrinkage, discolouration, or fading may occur.

• Heavy objects placed on the upholstery for long periods of time may
leave an impression and wrinkles that may be permanent.

Wrinkles and/or surface waviness may exist in the chair’s
upholstery or occur over time:

The product uses soft cushion materials and considered fabrics for
comfort and durability. Fabrics possess characteristic marks which exist
by design and not by fault. Furthermore, additional wrinkles and surface
waviness may develop depending on the demands and conditions of use.
