Which Ergohuman Chair Model do I Have?
ERGOHUMAN GAS-LIFT FAQ:
( also called gas cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, gas spring or gas strut)
When do I need a new gas-lift?
– When the seat is no longer adjustable, check under the chair to ensure no mechanism cables have been disconnected. If they haven’t, it is most likely the gas-lift that needs replacing.
OR
– If the seat no longer stays up and sinks on its own throughout the day, you will need a new gas-lift.
Why is it important to sit at the correct height?
Sitting too low with the armpads below the desk surface is not a good ergonomic position and may result in poor posture, causing tension in the arms and neck.
If you knees are higher than the seat base, your thighs will not be fully supported which again is not a good ergonomic position.
Sitting too high could put tension on your neck as you are looking downwards and your arms if you are higher than your keyboard.
Your legs may be “dangling” above the ground, this will restrict the blood circulation.
A functioning gas-lift is also important if the chair is used by more than one user, this way the Ergohuman chair can be adjusted to be ergonomic for everyone.
How do I know which gas-lift to order for my Ergohuman chair?
Don’t worry! Once we receive your order, we will ask you to email us a photo of your chair from the front. This will help us identify your specific chair model and ensure we send the correct gas-lift. We will only dispatch the parcel once we are sure the gas-lift will fit your chair. All gas-lifts are the same price. You can order the one you think matches best, and rest assured we will make sure you receive the correct one.
How do I replace the gas-lift?
We will email you instructions and a video link showing how to replace the gas-lift. You will need WD-40 and vice grips or a stillson pipe wrench.
Depending on how tight the gas-lift has become over the years, you may need a plumber’s wrench and might need to spray the area with WD-40 and leave it to soak for a few hours to penetrate and loosen the part.
Once ordered, when will I receive the parcel?
We dispatch small parcels once a week, usually on Thursdays for Friday delivery. Some weeks, delivery is brought forward to a Wednesday dispatch for Thursday delivery. Deliveries are handled by DPD courier; once your parcel is collected, we will send you the DPD tracking details and monitor its progress to keep you updated as necessary. If your contact number is a mobile phone, you should receive a text from DPD as well, which will give you more control to manage your delivery.
Most deliveries arrive the day after dispatch, however deliveries to some areas of Scotland or remote areas may need longer to arrive.
