Im trying to lower my office chair but it is different then my last one. My last one had some lever that you just puch and your weight will lower it like hydralics, but this chair is different it dont have that lever the only thing it has is some type of knob that turn at the bottom. I tried that and nothing happens does anyone know how to lower these types of chairs?
If it's an old chair, it's possible that spinning the chair will raise or lower it. Otherwise, it's possible the raise/lower lever has fallen off and you can order a new one of those (look on the bottom of the chair). Or, it's possible that the chair cannot be adjusted. (the knob is just a tension adjustment as you recline...it has nothing to do with raising or lowering the chair)
Nope. My chair has a lever. Ask someone at the office. Are you the only one who has that type of chair?
My guess is the paddle that adjusts this either broke fell out or was somehow removed. Flip your chair over and you will find the manufacturer, model and serial number this will help you re-order also look for a place that the paddle would fit into by the cylinder and lastly the knob you' re referring to is most likely a tilt tension knob and if this is the case your chair should certainly have a height adjustment.
I think someone in the office may have a better idea. Are you paid to surf Yahoo Answers?
