Gas Lift - Quick Fix Service Guide

Quick fix / maintenance guide

During use and aging, the properties of a gas lift change. Typical symptoms include sluggish movement or the chair lifting by itself when not in use.

The main cause is a lack of cleaning and lubrication, especially if the chair height is rarely adjusted.

Below are a few simple steps that can help restore the gas lift’s performance. This applies both for regular maintenance and as a quick fix for reduced functionality.

Step 1:

• Set the chair in its highest position.
• Use a rag or cloth to remove dirt and old grease from the gas lift.
• Apply a thin layer of new grease.

Step 2:

• Release the lift using the adjustment handle.
• Lower and raise the lift completely about 10 times, while keeping the handle released the entire time. Keep pulling the height adjustment handle upward throughout the process.

Lubricant:

Any soap-based grease may be used. If necessary, a compatible lubricant is also available on our website:
