Adjusting your office chair to the correct height is essential for ergonomic comfort and proper posture. For Serta office chairs, one of the most common adjustments is the seat height, typically controlled by a lever located on the side.
Adjusting Seat Height
Here's how you can adjust the seat height on your Serta office chair, based on common mechanisms:
- Locate the Adjustment Handle: While seated, reach the right side of the chair to find the handle. This handle controls the pneumatic cylinder that raises and lowers the seat.
- To Raise the Seat: With the handle located, lift the handle while raising your body up slightly off the seat. This reduces the weight on the chair, allowing the pneumatic cylinder to extend and the seat to rise to the desired height. Release the handle when the seat reaches the preferred position.
- To Lower the Seat: Lift the handle while remaining seated and applying more weight downward on the seat. The increased weight compresses the pneumatic cylinder, causing the seat to lower. Release the handle when the seat reaches the desired height.
Finding the right seat height ensures your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are at roughly a 90-degree angle, promoting better circulation and support.
Remember that while seat height is a primary adjustment, some Serta office chairs may offer additional features like lumbar support, armrest height, or tilt tension adjustments, which would have separate controls, typically levers or knobs found elsewhere on the chair. Always refer to your chair's specific user manual for detailed instructions on all available adjustments.
