How To Repair The Height Lever on The Steelcase Amia Chair?
Welcome to our detailed OfficeLogixShop tutorial, this time focusing on repairing the height lever on your Steelcase Amia chair. Is your chair's height adjustment lever not working as it should? Whether it's become disengaged or completely broken, you're in the right place to get it fixed. We'll take you through the repair process step by step. From removing the seat to re-engaging the height lever, we have all the bases covered.
Tools Needed:
- Long Screwdriver (at least 14 inches, Phillips or Flathead)
- Pliers (optional, for any stubborn components)
Steps for Fixing the Height Lever:
Removing the Seat:
- Start by creating enough space between the ground and the seat. This is crucial for accessing the lock mechanism beneath the seat.
- Insert the screwdriver between the seat and the mechanism. If facing the chair from a certain angle, the lock will be on your left side.
- Press down on the button found on the lock to release the seat. This button prevents the seat from sliding out unintentionally. Once pressed, you should be able to slide the seat out effortlessly.
Fixing the Height Lever:
- With the seat removed, you'll now have clear access to the height lever mechanism.
- If the lever appears loose or out of position, it's time to address the set screw located on the bottom. Flip the chair for easier access to this screw.
- Loosen the set screw enough to reposition the lever but avoid removing it completely to prevent additional work.
- Once the lever is correctly positioned, tighten the set screw to secure the lever in place.
Reattaching the Seat:
- Align the rails on the chair's mechanism with the guides on the seat to ensure a perfect fit.
- Elevate the seat depth lever fully and slide the seat forward until it locks into place.
- Use the seat depth lever to move the seat back and forth, ensuring it's securely attached and functional.
And there you have it! With these simple steps, your Steelcase Amia chair's height lever should be as good as new.
