Instructions say insert the seat back cylinder then lift to a point where it does not fall flat. Mine won't sit up on it's own. Is it defective?

We have no response. The one we bought was a gift, a d we have no data to suggest that it wasn't OK.

It took me a few tries to get mine to click/lock into place. If it really won't then it could be defective. Mine fell flat like that too until I was able to connect them properly.

The hydraulic plunger that adjusts the seat height would not lock in the 'up' position. I had to install a rigid tube around the plunger to keep it in the 'up' position of 20". Ah, but what can you expect for $65?

Yes its very simple.. First u have to take off the seat again and remove the little Black plastic cover that is covering the hydralic.. Then replace seat & pull leaver to adust up or down.. The problem is the instructions do not tell u to remove the ''Black plastic cover & throw away. '' Hope this helps Rudolph

For me, when you bring up the back of the sofa, creating the seat, I wait for 2 clicks. If you keep going, and it doesn't take much, it will not lock into place. It has to positions it will lock in. Rather straight and one that is slightly leaning. If you hear the second click, and it doesn't lock, and you know you didn't go to far, I would say it's defective. Hope that helps.

Once you've put everything together, just place the seat on top and sit on it. I found that's what I did to activate the gas spring. Use the lever to lift/adjust to desired height. Enjoy!!!

The lever is for adjusting up and down. Try turning the round knob underneath the seat. That seems to help the tension when leaning back.

I agree it's a little tricky. Try pulling up from the lowest part of the seat...just a little bit, and then you can push down from the top part of the seat. Another way is to grab the center of the middle bar in the back, (just below the seat) and at the same time pull up from the bottom of the seat.I also bought another one which is much easier to use.

This has happened to me before, and I usually find that adjusting the seat completely upright and making sure the canopy is all the way back does the trick. Hope that helps!

It should sit flush, you must have done something wrong, mine sits level. Good luck

On the right side of the chair, there is an indentation in the chair with a small handle which you pull up and back. this allows the foot rest to actually ppop up, if you do nit attempt to put your legs on the foot rest to allow it to bring it up gently. i found it extremely difficult to bring the foot rest back into the a"chair position" for the first week or so, but now it is doing just fine.i found no button or lever to cause the foot rest to go back to the original position; it must be pushed back until you hear a 'click'.

The tilt mechanism can sometimes be stuck, if you examine the bar that goes into the "pneumatic pump area", you'll see it crosses over to the left side to lock the seat... If it isn't engaging, try some WD-40 or tilt chair forward and try in a slightly forward tilt position, and it should engage

I went and checked on mine. Best I can tell you have to remove the screws attaching the back rest to the handles. Then it looks like you can remove the handles (although I did not try). The back rest should slid up and out. This would not be something you would want to do regularly, I would think.

You must turn the adjusting screw in the cylinder that extends from the base to the seat. I made all adjustments during the installation process. However, you should be able to turn the screw and have the seat rise to its maximum level.

Be sure you have it completely seated in place. Mine doesn't bounce at all.

You have to open the top where the seat is the legs should spread apart. You may have to twist the extension to loosen it.

I tried to do the seat reversal myself; there was absolutely no guide, when I ordered, this past summer. I cldn't properly secure it, so my brother, who is an Engineer, had 2be the one to finish the conversion.

Theres really no instructions, all i did was turn my chair upside down and gave it a big pull, the old part came out of the seat but i had to use a hammer to remove the other section. I used a pair of water pump pliers to get a hold of it and give it a twist to loosen it from the base as it was stuck with "age". that was a big help and i would use that technique before using a hammer lol but it worked none the less. After you get the base and seat separated from the plunger, just set the new one in. the end with the red button goes in the seat end and the other goes in the base. Hope this helps, but as far as the part itself goes, it works fine.
