The method for adjusting the tilt on a chair varies depending on the chair's design. Most chairs with tilt mechanisms have a lever or knob located under the seat or on the side of the chair.
Common Tilt Adjustment Methods
- Lever: A lever is typically found under the seat and can be pulled up or down to engage or disengage the tilt mechanism.
- Knob: A knob is usually located on the side of the chair and can be turned clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the tilt tension.
- Button: Some chairs have a button that is pressed to activate the tilt function.
- Tilt Tension Adjustment: Many tilt mechanisms allow you to adjust the tension of the tilt, which determines how easily the chair tilts back. This is often accomplished with a knob or lever located near the tilt mechanism.
Finding the Tilt Mechanism
To locate the tilt mechanism on your chair, look for a lever, knob, or button under the seat or on the side of the chair. If you can't find it, consult the chair's user manual or contact the manufacturer for assistance.
Adjusting the Tilt
- Engage the Tilt: To engage the tilt, pull the lever up, turn the knob clockwise, or press the button.
- Disengage the Tilt: To disengage the tilt, push the lever down, turn the knob counterclockwise, or release the button.
- Adjust the Tilt Tension: Adjust the tension of the tilt mechanism to your preference by turning the knob or adjusting the lever.
Note:
Not all chairs have a tilt mechanism. If your chair doesn't have a tilt mechanism, it's not possible to adjust the tilt.
