Troubleshooting
Chair will not go up or down
Check if the activation button on top of the cylinder is being fully pressed by the chair's lever mechanism.
Chair sinks automatically
Ensure the cylinder is properly seated in the base and verify that the internal seal has not been damaged during installation.
Stuck in the old chair base
Use a penetrating oil such as WD-40 on the connection points and let it sit for 30 minutes before attempting to tap it out with a rubber mallet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure your existing chair base and seat mechanism have a standard 5 cm opening. To install, you will typically need a pipe wrench or a rubber mallet to remove the old cylinder from the chair's star base and the seat mechanism. Always ensure the chair is flipped over or fully disassembled to access the mounting points. For maintenance, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners; a damp cloth is sufficient to wipe down the exterior. Periodic inspection of the connection points ensures that the cylinder remains secure and performs optimally over its lifespan.
