Tips & safety
- Warning: gas cylinder Only trained personnel may replace or repair the seat height adjustment parts (manual p. 8–10).
- Don’t lean on the armrests to get up Getting up by pushing down on the armrests can tip the chair (manual p. 23). The lever locks the tilt; the knob under the seat sets the tilt tension (p. 24–25).
