BRODA Elite Chairs

Note: Cylinder does not need to be removed from the chair to make this adjustment.
1.
Loosen the lock nut located on the stem of the gas cylinder next to the actuator (17mm or 11/16”
wrench).
2.
From the above instruction determine whether you want to wind the stem further into the actuator or
further out of the actuator.
You will need to wind the stem further into the actuator if the chair is
not tilting or reclining, (wind it clockwise) and wind it further out of the actuator if the chair is
slowly sliding out of position. (wind it counter-clockwise)
3.
Wind the stem in the correct direction one half turn. When viewing the cylinder with stem pointing
towards you turn the stem clockwise to wind the stem out of the actuator and counter-clockwise to
wind the stem into the actuator.
4.
Check the function of the cylinder and repeat steps 3 & 4 until the cylinder functions properly.
5.
Tighten the lock nut loosened in step 1.
If adjusting the cylinder does not correct the problem, the cylinder may need to be replaced. Please
contact Broda at 1-800-668-0637 or your local area representative.
Removal and Installation
Steps
Old (left) and new (right) actuators respectively
Note:
When adjusting cylinders with tools that come in
contact with the cylinder rods. A cloth, piece of vinyl
strap, or some other protective material must be used to
protect the sliding surface of the rod. If the rod
becomes scratched or scarred it will puncture the seal
on the cylinder and the cylinder will fail.
Damaging a cylinder in this fashion voids the
manufacturer’s warranty.
