Backrest Angle
Good Stability (old style)
The most important considerations when setting the correct backrest angle is posture
control, balance and stability. The optimal adjustment must be achieved without ex-
erting excess pressure on any part of your back.
Your Colours chair is equipped with a safety backrest locking mechanism.
To adjust the backrest angle:
1. Loosen the screws on each backrest locking mechanism.
2. Fold the backrest forward while pulling down on the string attached to the
backrest locking mechanism.
3. By turning the set screw by 1/4" increments clockwise the backrest angle will
be adjusted to the rear. Turning the screw by 1/4" increments counterclock-
wise will bring the backrest angle forward.
4. Repeat step 3 on the other set screw.
5. Return the backrest to the full upright position. The backrest lock will auto-
matically engage.
6. Retighten the screw on the backrest locking mechanism.
Backrest Locking Mechanism (with angle adjust)
1. Adjust angle by loosening 2 screws on each side, then position backrest at correct
angle then retighten the screws.
2. Pull cord to release locking back. Pull cord again to restore back to vertical position.
