How To Unbox and Assemble The Steelcase Leap V2 Chair
Welcome to this Steelcase Leap V2 unboxing and installation guide. In this tutorial, we will walk you through every step of setting up your Leap V2 chair quickly and easily. Let's get started.
Unboxing Your Leap V2 Chair
What is in the Box
- Base of the chair
- Envelope containing the gas cylinder and casters
- Seat and back pre-attached
Note: We recommend keeping the box for a little while in case you need to return or store the chair.
Step 1: Installing the Casters and Cylinder
Flipping the Base
Turn the base upside down to prepare for caster installation.
Attaching the Casters
Open the envelope and take out the casters. Click each caster firmly into the five slots on the base.
Flipping the Base Upright
Once all five casters are installed, flip the base back to its upright position.
Inserting the Cylinder
Take out the cylinder from the envelope. Your chair may come with one of two cylinder types:
- Top Activated Cylinder with a button on top
- Side Activated Cylinder with a metal plate on the side
To identify yours, remove the cap from the cylinder and check the top.
Step 2: Installing the Seat Assembly
Side Activated Cylinder Setup
- Insert the cylinder into the center of the base.
- Remove the seat and back assembly from the box.
- Look underneath the mechanism and locate the moving metal plate. This moves when the height lever is pulled.
- Carefully align the cylinder with that plate as you lower the seat onto the base.
- Pull the height adjustment lever to test. If the chair moves up and down correctly, installation is complete.
- If it does not respond, realign and try again.
Top Activated Cylinder Setup
- Insert the cylinder into the base as usual.
- Place the seat and back assembly directly on top of the cylinder.
- If the chair height rises or sinks automatically when you sit, it may need recalibration. This is common and easy to fix.
If Recalibration Is Needed
Identifying Overactivation
If the chair is unstable in height, recalibration is needed due to weight sensitivity.
Accessing the Mechanism
- Lay the chair gently on its side.
- Ensure the seat is fully slid backward.
- Use a long flathead screwdriver, ideally over 20 inches, to reach underneath the seat and press the stopper tab.
- This allows you to slide the seat out and reach the cylinder socket.
Adjusting the Height Pin
- Locate the small hole where the cylinder sits.
- Insert an Allen wrench and adjust the pin inside.
- Test the height lever after each turn until movement feels stable and responsive.
Sliding the Seat Back In
Align the seat rails precisely before sliding the seat back into position. If the seat does not slide, the rails are likely misaligned.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is included in the box when I receive my Steelcase Leap V2?
When you open your premium ergonomic desk chair package you will easily find the base of the chair an envelope safely containing the gas cylinder and casters and the seat and back pre attached. We highly recommend keeping the shipping box for a little while in case you need to perfectly return or safely store your heavy duty office furniture.
How do I identify which type of gas cylinder my premium chair has?
To properly identify your specific cylinder type simply remove the cap from the cylinder and closely check the top. Your chair may easily come with a Top Activated Cylinder featuring a basic button completely on top or a Side Activated Cylinder heavily featuring a metal plate securely on the side.
Why does my heavy duty chair height rise or sink automatically when I sit?
If the heavy duty office furniture is completely unstable in height it strictly means recalibration is safely needed absolutely due to weight sensitivity directly causing overactivation. This is completely common and highly easy to fix by smoothly adjusting the height pin safely inside the cylinder socket securely using an Allen wrench to ensure uninterrupted posture correction.
What specific tools do I need to perfectly access the mechanism for height recalibration?
To safely access the internal mechanism you will completely need a long flathead screwdriver ideally over twenty inches to seamlessly reach safely underneath the seat and perfectly press the stopper tab beautifully allowing you to smoothly slide the seat completely out.
