Procedure for part replacement
The following parts can be replaced by the user. When there is wear or breakage occurs,
carefully read the following,
then replace the
part and continue using the chair.
Place the chair itself on its side in a stable location. Insert a flat head
screwdriver into the gap between the base leg and caster, move the
screwdriver to pry the caster off. Firmly insert the new caster until it
is fully seated. If the caster falls out during use, you could be injured.
Warning
Do not touch anything other than the parts to be replaced.
Gas springs are not allowed to be replaced. You could suf-
fer an injury if you disassemble parts under high pressure,
such as the gas cylinder or spring.
Caution
When replacing parts, put the seat in the highest position.
The seat could suddenly move upward, and you could
suffer an injury.
Caution
During the work to replace a part, wear gloves. You could
suffer an injury such as pinching a finger.
Requirements on types of reminders:
These are based on requirements for the following kinds
of risks by the Japan Office and Institutional Furniture
Association (JOIFA).
Warning
There is a possibility of death or serious injury if errors in
handling occur.
Caution
There is a possibility of injury or damage to property
arising if errors in handling occur.
Precautions for casters
Casters are wear parts. If a problem
such as breakage or an abnormal sound
occurs, we recommend to replace the
caster without delay. Please contact our
CAPIEM Service Center for spare parts.
Reminders when using the twin-wheel
urethane casters
• FURTIF chair will be delivered with roll resistant urethane
safety casters. Nevertheless, when using the chair on
hard floors, such as tiling, ensure that the chair behaves
differently than it does on carpeting, which could cause it
to tilt forward and injure you.
• The plasticizers included in soft vinyl flooring can
penetrate the urethane part of twin-wheel casters with
resistance (grip) and problems such as breakage and
color transfer may occur.
• The urethane part of twin-wheel urethane casters with
resistance (grip) varies widely due to the usage environ-
ment, but aging will naturally occur due to hydrolysis.
The detrioration is also accelerated by the stripper used
at the time the floor surface is waxed, so we recommend
prompt caster replacement if breakage occurs.
Safety precautions
Replacement of casters
Caution: The replacement of the
gas spring may only be carried
out by qualified personnel!
Caution: We recommend to use only the moun-
ted urethane safety casters, as there is a risk of
injury due to a change in rolling behavior when
casters will be changed.
