Below are key sections for safety, parts list, assembly, adjustment, care, and warranty information.

Parts & Tools Included

Ensure all parts are present before starting assembly.

Tools required (not included): No tools required for base assembly. A rubber mallet may be helpful for caster installation.

Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before assembly and use.

1. Weight limit: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity specified.
2. Stability: Ensure the base is on a flat, level surface before attaching the chair.
3. Inspection: Check for damaged parts before assembly. Do not use if parts are bent or cracked.
4. Children: Do not allow children to play with or climb on the chair base.

WARNING! An incorrectly assembled base can collapse, causing injury. Ensure all casters are fully and securely inserted.

Assembly Steps

Assembly is typically minimal as casters are often pre-installed.

1. Unpack: Remove the star base from packaging.
2. Install Casters (if not pre-installed): Turn the base upside down. Firmly push each caster stem straight down into a socket until it clicks into place. Use a rubber mallet to tap gently if needed.
3. Attach Gas Lift: Turn the base right-side up. Insert the gas lift cylinder (from your chair kit) into the central mounting hole. Press down firmly until it is fully seated.
4. Attach Chair Seat: Follow your LÅNGFJÄLL chair instructions to attach the seat mechanism to the top of the gas lift cylinder.

Tip: Perform assembly on a soft surface like a carpet to avoid scratching the casters or floor.

Adjustments & Use

• Swivel: The base allows 360-degree rotation.
• Mobility: Casters are designed for use on hard floors or carpets. Ensure floor is clean to prevent debris from jamming wheels.
• Height Adjustment: Height is adjusted via the gas lift cylinder lever on the chair, not the base itself.

CAUTION! Do not lean back excessively or tilt the chair beyond its designed range, as this may cause tipping.

Care & Maintenance

Regular care ensures longevity and smooth operation.

1. Cleaning: Wipe the metal base with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
2. Casters: Remove hair and threads wrapped around caster axles periodically. Check that wheels spin freely.
3. Inspection: Periodically check that all casters remain securely fastened and that the base shows no signs of stress or cracks.

WARNING! Never use oils or lubricants on the casters or base, as this can attract dirt and damage floors.
