1. Sitplekhoogteverstelling
To adjust the seat height, lift your body weight slightly off the seat and pull the lever located on the right side of the chair upwards. Release the lever at your desired height. To lower the seat, remain seated and pull the same lever upwards, allowing your weight to lower the chair. Release the lever when the desired height is reached.
Ensure your feet are flat on the floor and your knees are at approximately a 90-degree angle for optimal ergonomic posture.
2. Sitplekdiepte-aanpassing
To adjust the seat depth, remain seated and turn the knob located on the front right side of the seat mechanism. Turn the knob away from you to extend the seat forward, and towards you to retract it backward. Adjust until there is a 2-3 inch gap between the front edge of the seat and the back of your knees.
3. Arm Adjustments (360 Arm)
The Gesture's 360-degree arms offer extensive adjustability:
- Armhoogte: Lift the lever under the armrest to adjust the arm height. Push the arm up or down to the desired position and release the lever to lock.
- Armbreedte: Push the armrests in or out to adjust the width.
- Arm Cap Position: Grasp the arm caps and slide them in any direction (forward, backward, inward, outward, pivot) to find your preferred support.

4. Recline Tension Adjustment
The recline tension knob is located on the right side, towards the back of the seat mechanism. Turn the knob forward for more recline resistance or backward for less resistance. Adjust to your body weight and preference for smooth reclining.
5. 4-Position Recline Lock (Variable Back Stop)
The variable back stop allows you to lock the chair's recline at four different positions: upright, mid-recline, and full recline, with an additional stop in between. Use the lever located near the recline tension knob to select your desired recline position.
6. Adjustable Lumbar Support (Optional)
If your chair includes optional lumbar support, grasp the handles on both sides of the backrest and slide them up or down to position the lumbar support at your lower back for optimal comfort.
