How do you get the chair to tilt backwards? I turned the knob in front both ways and it barely tilts back

This was a real disappointment. After putting the chair together I discovered it DOESN'T TILT. Don't buy this chair if you're looking for one that tilts. It's very misleading because it says it has a tilt control on it, but it is minimal.

Yep, that's it. Also make sure you pulled the up/down handle outwards to unlock the chair's back.

Yea it barely tilts back I think it's suppose to help you have good posture

The knob in front under chair adjusts the tension of the lean. the lever on the side that adjusts height also allows for tilt if you pull it out to the right. it leans pretty far, but u may have to loosen the knob to get the tension where u need it for easy recline. .

I'm surprised no one has actually figured this out yet and written this tip to help others figure out the tilt. You know how you pull on the handle to make the chair go up and down (the pneumatic lift)? Well, you just have to pull that bar out for tilt, and push it in for lock position. The knob is only for tension. Pull out the bar!

I came looking for help for the same issue. Is the seat supposed to be able to tilt forward but not side to side? It makes sense that way, but I have to ask, lol. It makes sense to be able to tilt the sit to adjust to the way you're riding. For example, if you lean forward in a racing position, you may want to be able to tilt the seat down a little bit...

I had the same problem. One side clicked into place. I found that to install or remove the back of the chair it is easier if you tilt the chair forward 90 degrees so that the back is parallel to the floor. You should be able to lift the bottom flap and see the two attachment points. I believe there is detent that you will have to press and release to get the right side to release if it has indeed clicked into place. I believe I pressed using a screwdriver to insure I didn't pinch a finger. If you get the right side to release the back should be much easier to see the attachment points to align both sides when the chair is tilted as I've described. I had the same problem.

There is a knob that controls the rate and ease of recline. You can also pull the seat height handle out for back tilting; you need to push it back in to lock the position.

I bought this chair for my husband and he loves it! It is a very comfortable chair. It has a lock mechanism if you want to lock in a certain position when tilting it backwards. Or you can leave it "unlocked" which makes it have like a spring rocking motion while sitting in it. As for tilting forward, not really sure what you are asking. If you want to tilt backwards, like I say it has a button to "lock" in place and you can also 'unlock" it to sit more forward. It does have about 4 or 5 adjustments for the lumbar support. My husband thinks it is a great chair for the price. I hope we have helped answer your questions.

Make sure the steel cable between the two is on the "track" and adjust the knob under the foot rests - it may need to be tighter, if too tight, you can hardly make it work. Took me a couple of tries to get it right - go to the "+" side first. Hope this helps.

I just remember when I went to put my chair together it was like the springs were backwards. It took my husband using extreme force to get them to work. I would have to look at my chair to see how many springs total and were they are located, unfortunately it's at work. I will check tomorrow.

Is the knob slipping or clicking when you try to turn it? If so, you're simply turning it the wrong direction. It shouldn't be over tightened due to its design.

On the right side, underneath the seat is a lever. This lever controls the height of the chair and also locks out the tilt feature if it is pushed inward toward the user. Pull it out (ie away from you) and this should fix the problem. If it does not, then there is something mechanically wrong with your product

If you are sitting in the chair, reach down to the right and pull the locking tilt control arm straight out to your right then lean back. It's either straight up and down or all the way back. There does not seem to be any setting in between.

Mine doesn't tilt back easily either. It's very stiff. It isn't made very well.

there is a stick level on the rt side of the chair. when u lift the level it up, the chair will go higher as u wanted it be. when lower the sit down, make sure u sit on it and then pull the level up to go down. any question let me know ok.

As stated by others: Flip it upside down, grab both legs of the chair. In one swift motion close them together - you can't do it slowly - it needs to be one solid jerk motion for the mechanism to work.

I had the same problem. Look down from the top of the chair into the hole the seat back should go into. You should see a clear oval passage (matches the shape of the back post). If that is partially blocked, the locking mechanism is misaligned. Look next at the ends of the locking mechanism -- both the knob end and the opposite end (plastic, D-shaped pieces on my chair) should be flush with or stick out a little bit from the square metal bracket. line up the D-shaped plastic pieces with the matching holes in the metal bracket and then tap the end that sticks out too far until things line up better. I had to loosen/tighten the knob to get things lined up properly before tapping into position (it need a pretty good whack to be honest). I ended up using a rubber mallet to persuade compliance! once the mechanism is aligned, you may need to loosen the knob to allow the back to slide in, then tighten and you should be good to go.

If you're right handed, put your left hand on the top center of the bezel , your right hand holding the bottom center of the bezel . Gently push the top backwards while gently pulling the bottom toward you. I think it tilts back only 15 degrees and forward only four degrees. It doesn't sound like very much, but it's actually quite sufficient

I had the same thing happen....when u slide it on,u have to tilt it forward some. It's an awkward fit but it will go all the way down.
