O. Seat Upholstery
WARNING: You must immediately replace seat and back upholstery that has worn
through and shows signs of failing. If you fail to do so, the seat or back may fail which
could cause a fall resulting in serious injury or death.
How to Adjust the Seat Upholstery Tension
1. Reach under the seat upholstery to find the tension adjustable hook and loop flap. This
should be located on the botton, right side of the seat upholstery.
2. Loosen the Phillips head screws (Fig. 13) on the same side of the seat upholstery as the
tension adjustable flap.
3. Separate the hook from loop on the tension adjustable flap by pulling it apart.
4. To tighten the seat upholstery, pull the tension adjustable flap towards the opposite side of
the chair. To loosen the seat upholstery, apply pressure from the top of the seat upholstery
towards the ground.
5. When the seat upholstery has reached the desired level of tension, press the hook and loop
back together.
6. Retighten the Phillips head screws (Fig. 13).
