Each Series 1 provides several points of adjustment all over the chair to support your natural sitting style. Here are some tips to adjust your chair specifically to you:
- Push your hips as far back as they can go in the chair seat, so shoulders are parallel to your sit bones.
- Adjust the seat height so your feet are flat on the floor and your knees equal to, or slightly lower than, your hips. To raise the chair, lift your body weight and pull the lever up. To lower the chair, stay seated and pull the lever up.
- Adjust the seat depth: Lift weight out of the seat when adjusting depth and pull handle and hold, slide seat forward or back, and release lever handle lock. With your back against the chair, you should have 2"– 3" of space between the back of your knees and the seat edge.
- Adjust lumbar: Grab both handles and slide up or down. Position the lumbar to fit comfortably into the curve of your lower back
- Adjust the armrests so that your arms are at a 90-degree angle with your hands comfortably resting on the worksurface. Series 1 features height, width, pivot, and depth adjustable arms.
- Adjust the back tension to your desired sitting posture. Series 1 features 3 comfort settings:
- Upright back lock - turn comfort dial all the way forward.
- Full recline range with weight-activated tension + boost (boost adds 20% additional back tension resistance) – turn comfort dial back 1 click
- Full recline range with weight-activated tension – turn comfort dial back 1 additional click
