backrest tubes 1- 2 turns with a 10 mm fixed
spanner. Hold screws (A) firmly in place with a

4 mm Allen key.
2a. Then, using a 24 mm fixed spanner, turn the plates
– a little at a time, first on one side of the chair,
then on the other side. By this alternating proce-
dure, you can adjust the tilt of the backrest.
Note! You must alternate between the two plates
whenever you turn them, otherwise, the backrest
could become twisted, and its ergonomic advantages
will be lost.

en the nuts (B) on the inside. Hold the screws (A)
firmly in place with the Allen key.
