More Details
Method of Use and Adjustment
The feet should be on the floor on either side of the front two castors when seated.
It is best to set the seat height and angle before adjusting the backrest.
Adjusting the height of the backrest.
Unfasten the lever on the base of the backrest support. Move up or down for desired position then pushes lever to fasten.
Adjusting the height and angle of the backrest.
The lever closest to the back adjusts backrest position and seat tilt. Pull the back lever right up and let the seat rock back until it can go no further. The back can be moved with your other hand while the lever is held up. Release the lever and back in order to secure the position. You can work freely using the back for intermittent rest or bring it inward for support.
Seat height
This is adjusted via a gas lift lever at the front right, under the seat.
Various height pedestals (gas lifts) are available for those who are taller or shorter.
Castor Options
Standard castors which have twin wheels and a hood cover. Available in a standard or larger 60mm diameter size. This castor is designed for carpeted or concrete floor surfaces.
Soft castors which are free rolling when weight is applied, and provides some resistance when weight is lifted. These castors are designed not to scratch floor surfaces and are for timber, tiled or vinyl floor surfaces.
