Manual Folding Office Chair

The folding methods of manual folding office chairs vary depending on the type, but generally, the folding operation can be completed through the following steps:

Common Types and Folding Characteristics

1. Multi-functional Office Chair
   This type of chair usually offers multiple modes including sitting, leaning, and lying. When folding, first adjust it to the sitting position. For some models where the backrest and seat cushion are connected by hinges, lift the backrest to a vertical position, then unlock the connection structure between the seat cushion and the frame using the hidden buckles or knobs at the bottom, and finally push the seat cushion forward until it is parallel to the frame to complete the folding. If it is equipped with a detachable cotton cushion, remove it before folding to avoid obstructing the operation.

2. Soft-covered High-appearance Folding Chair
   These chairs are designed with portability and lightness as the core. The folding structure mostly adopts an X-shaped cross-frame. When folding, first ensure there is no heavy object on the seat surface. Hold both sides of the armrests or the edges of the seat surface with both hands and apply inward pressure to make the X-shaped frame collapse towards the middle until the seat surface is completely flush with the frame. Some models are equipped with safety buckles at the frame connections. After folding, manually lock them to prevent accidental unfolding during transportation or storage, and reverse the operation to unlock when unfolding.

3. Ergonomic Folding Chair (e.g., Deli KF236)
   This type of chair is usually equipped with a thickened seat cushion and an adjustable backrest. When folding, first adjust the backrest to the lowest angle, and then operate through the folding joints at the bottom of the frame. The specific steps are as follows: Squat down to observe the bottom frame of the chair, find the hinges or knobs connecting the seat cushion and the frame, release the locking device, lift the seat cushion up to a 90-degree angle with the frame, and then push it inward to collapse the frame. Some models may have rotatable armrests. Before folding, rotate the armrests to be parallel to the seat surface to reduce the occupied space.

General Precautions

• Load Limit: Ensure there is no heavy object on the seat surface before folding to avoid damage due to uneven structural stress.
• Safety Buckles: After folding, check whether the frame connections are locked to prevent accidental unfolding during transportation or storage.
• Cleaning and Maintenance: If the seat surface has a waterproof and stain-resistant coating (such as on soft-covered folding chairs), wipe off stains with a damp cloth before folding, but avoid using corrosive cleaners.
• Storage Environment: After folding, place it in a dry and ventilated place to prevent the metal frame from rusting or the soft-covered material from getting moldy.
