1.6 General remarks concerning use
1. Setting the seat height – this is carried out without tools, this height setting is not meant to be used on a daily
basis. The chair should be adjusted to the individual user on delivery.
How to adjust the height – release the spring-loaded screw on both sides and turn these so that they rest
against the outer surface. The seat can now be raised until the desired height is reached, turn the spring loaded
screw so that it engages again. See section 3 concerning tips about using the settings.
WARNING: The spring loaded screw MUST be engaged before using the chair.
2. Back support – the back support will automatically angle itself according to the user pressure, it can also be
moved up or down to suit individual needs by loosening the screws on the brackets, placing the unit at the
correct height and tightening the screws again. This does not apply to the fabric back.
3. Foot supports – remove the clips and adjust the foot support to the required height. If the supports can be
angled the support can be pulled out to the required angle and will lock automatically. By releasing the small
(black) handle the foot support can be lowered.
4. Neck support – use the hand screw to adjust height and angle.
