How To Install the PostureFit on Your Aeron Chair?

Welcome to the OfficeLogixShop tutorial on installing the PostureFit support system to your Aeron chair.

Create an Opening for the Cable:

  • Carefully make an opening in the back's mesh right above where the middle screw was located.
  • Slide the cable through this new opening.

Mount and Secure the Bracket:

  • Position the bracket within the designated area and tighten it to ensure it is firmly in place.

Assemble the PostureFit System:

  • Extend the cable and thread it into the PostureFit mechanism.
  • Align the PostureFit on the rail, push it upwards, and then slide it down into its final position.
