SEATING SAFETY TIPS
Thank you for your purchase. LF Gaming™ chairs are designed to support your body for optimal posture and comfort. When sat in improperly, any chair will place strain on the legs and spine, which can cause pain. Ergonomic Chairs work optimally when they have been adjusted and are used properly. Improper use of even the best chairs mitigates their effectiveness and may even result in injury. Familiarize yourself with the functions of the chair and follow the tips below to ensure years of risk-free seated comfort.
- Always sit fully in the chair, with your back against the backrest.
- Never perch on the edge of the seat, sit cross-legged or sit with your legs up on a desk or other tall surface. Leaning too far in any direction, so that a shift in your body weight causes the chair’s casters to leave the floor, increases the risk of the chair tipping over. Ensure all casters remain completely on the floor at all times. Not doing so may cause harm to yourself, surrounding property and others, and may void your warranty.
- Never stand on your chair or sit on the arms of your chair. Do not use the arms to lift yourself out of the chair.
- Exercise caution when moving your chair between different floor surfaces. Push the chair while you are standing, rather than attempting to do so while seated.
- Use the chair’s tension control mechanism to compensate for different body weights. Always ensure the control is properly adjusted, resulting in a smooth and controlled tilt motion.
- Your chair should be checked every 6-12 months to ensure all the parts are tight and in optimal condition.
CHAIR FUNCTION:
All locations are referred to as if sitting in the chair.
SEAT HEIGHT
Raises or lowers seat height to achieve desired setting.

- Always make sure your arm pads are pushed completely outward before sitting down in your chair. Not doing so may result in damage.
NOTICE**** Keep fingers on top or on sides of upholstered arm pads – the swivel mechanism can create a pinch point.

NORMAL CARE INSTRUCTIONS
One of the best ways to keep UltraFabrics® brand surfaces looking great is to
properly maintain them by cleaning regularly to prevent excessive dirt from
accumulating.
Below is a general outline to help you keep your quality UltraFabrics® brand
products looking their best. Following these guidelines will help to extend
the life of the fabric.
- Vacuum dust and clean regularly with soap and water
- Wipe up spills as soon as they occur
- Lift most stains with an alcohol based cleaner like Fantastik
- Disinfect using a 5:1 water/bleach solution
- All cleaning solution residue should be thoroughly rinsed with water
- Air Dry
BALLPOINT PEN REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
- Wipe the stain off with ethanol (rubbing alcohol). [If this is unsuccessful, proceed to step 2].
- Prepare a solution of 50% chlorinated bleach, 50% water.
- Place a thin tissue over the ink stain.
- Apply the chlorinated bleach solution. Be sure not to over saturate the tissue.
- Cover tissue with polyethylene film (plastic wrap) to prevent chlorinated bleach solution from drying.
- Check on stain repeatedly.
- Do not leave the chlorinated bleach solution for more than one (1) hour.
- When the stain looks almost gone, remove the tissue and rinse the stain with water.
- To neutralize the bleached area, place a tissue on the bleached area and apply 15% hydrogen peroxide solution.
- Leave on for thirty (30) minutes, and remove the tissue.
- Remove the peroxide residue with water.
- While the foregoing instructions have proven to work in many cases, especially in which ink stains are addressed immediately, not all ink stains can be removed in every situation.
NOTE
These are recommended or suggested methods of cleaning. Always try any
cleaning method in a hidden area to convince yourself of the results. LF
Gaming™ is not responsible for damage incurred while cleaning. Like any
upholstery material, all fabrics can fade to some degree if exposed to the sun
or direct light. Protect your furniture from sun and direct light.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Casters, bases and arms can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For extra shine,
they may be polished with products specifically formulated for metal,
plastics, nylon and fiberglass. It should be understood that all products with
moving parts will make noise from time to time.
Please note that squeaks and creaks are typical of chairs that have not been
adjusted or serviced for a long time. To help alleviate the frequency of
noises please go through the steps outlined below:
- The easiest way to alleviate noise is to systematically move through each moving part and repeatedly adjust it. For example, unlock the tilt lock paddle and rock in the chair for several minutes – this will help move the lubrication along the spring and stop loud squeaks.
- It may be that the plastic finger guard (if applicable) on your control has shifted and is now rubbing against the mechanism paddles. Remove the guard and reattach it to stop the clicking.
- Check and if need be, tighten bolts attaching the seat and back to the mechanism.
- Gas lifts will squeak if left idle for extended periods of time. Lifting and lowering your chair, and rotating in your chair a few times will eliminate these squeaks.
- Check casters and remove any carpet lint, dust or grime. Check the bottom of the casters for flat spots. This can occur on chairs that are rarely moved. Replace casters if necessary.
- Tighten hand wheels attaching arms to mechanism.
TROUBLE SHOOTING AND TIPS
RATCHET BACK HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
If you are experiencing difficulty in adjusting your Ratchet Back, ensure you
are following all of the steps carefully. Often times with the larger models
it can take a little more effort to ensure the internal mechanism is
resetting.
First, to reset the cycle FIRMLY lift the backrest until the maximum height is
reached. The internal mechanism will reset and the back will drop down.
FIRMLY press the backrestdownwards until you hear a click and the cycle will
start over.
Lift the backrest upwards to reach desired height.
If you don’t hear a click when the backrest is pressed downward at the bottom
of the cycle – ensure the seat is not impeding the backrest – (using the Seat
Slider) you may need to pull the seat forward away from the back until the
backrest is set to the desired location. Return the seat to the desired
location.
