FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity?
The gas cylinder is designed to safely support up to 120 kg.
Is this compatible with all office chairs?
While it is a standard size, you should measure your existing cylinder to ensure compatibility before installation.
Does it come with tools for installation?
No, the package includes the gas cylinder only; you may need a rubber mallet for removal of the old unit.
What is the primary material?
The cylinder is made of durable metal construction finished in a black coating.
How do I maintain the cylinder?
Keep the piston rod free from dust and debris to prevent damage to the internal seals.
Troubleshooting
Chair will not go up or down
Ensure the actuator button at the top of the cylinder is being fully depressed by the chair's lever mechanism.
Cylinder feels loose or wobbles
Verify that the cylinder is properly seated in the chair base and that all friction-fit connections are clean and dry.
Difficulty removing old cylinder
Use a pipe wrench to rotate the cylinder body and a rubber mallet to tap the base away from the cylinder.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, you must remove the old gas cylinder from your chair's base and seat mechanism. This often requires turning the chair upside down and using a rubber mallet to knock the old cylinder out of the base. Once removed, simply insert the new vidaXL gas cylinder into the chair base and place the seat mechanism on top; the weight of the user will naturally lock the friction-fit parts together during initial use. To ensure longevity, avoid exceeding the 120 kg weight limit and periodically wipe the piston clean of dust to maintain smooth movement.
