Troubleshooting

Adjusting the Weight of the Lifting Mechanism on the Kensington 

Non-Powered Lift Occasional Chair

The Kensington Non-Powered Lift Occasional Chair is able to adjust for different-sized users. It has 

three settings that cover the vast majority of users.

1.   Start by preparing an area to work on the chair. 

Place something on the floor to protect the 

wood finish.

2.   Make sure the seat is in the UP position.

3.   Place the chair on its right side so the seat 

locking knob is facing upwards.

4.   Pull both of the cotter pins out of the locking pins.

5.   Pull both of the locking pins out of the  

seat adjustment bracket/gas-spring  

adjustment bracket.

  

NOTE: 

The locking pins will be very tight 

because the force of the gas-spring will be 

pushing against them. Ask for assistance if you 

experience difficulty removing the locking pins.

6.   Move the seat up and down to find the proper 

weight setting. This can be done with one person, 

but it is easier with assistance. 

CAUTION:

 Green 

must go to green, yellow must go to yellow, and 

red must go to red. 

DO NOT

 mix the weight 

setting colors, as it could cause the chair to 

malfunction and void the warranty.

7.   Place the locking pins back into their respective 

holes. 

NOTE:

 Installation of the second locking 

pin could be difficult because the force of the 

gas-spring will be pushing against the first pin. 

Move the seat slightly to align the holes and 

ask for assistance if you have difficulty inserting 

the locking pins.

8.   Place the cotter pins into the locking pins.

9.   Place the chair back on its feet.

10.  Test the functionality of the chair to make  

sure everything is properly adjusted.

 

NOTE:

the GREEN weight setting.
