Office Chair Disassembly Method
The disassembly of an office chair should be carried out step by step according to the type of component. The specific methods are as follows:
1. Headrest Disassembly
Take the Beๆฐช Office Chair BC03Q Deluxe Edition as an example. First, pull the headrest to its highest position, find the thin metal strip in the middle, and press it down firmly. Once the locking mechanism is loosened, pull it out. If the metal strip is difficult to hold down, you can use a discarded hard card (such as a bank card) to assist in the operation, avoiding direct hand pressure that may cause scratches.
2. Armrest Disassembly
- Invert the Chair: Place the chair upside down on a higher platform (such as a table) for easier operation.
- Loosen the Screws: Use the hexagonal screwdriver that comes with the box to loosen the fixing screws under the armrests. For some general ergonomic chairs, simply loosen the screws in the reverse order of installation to separate them.
3. Separation of the Backrest and Base
- Remove the Connecting Screws: Use a hexagonal screwdriver to remove the screws at the connection between the backrest and the seat.
- Separate the Base: Raise the pneumatic rod to its highest position, hold the seat cushion with one hand, press the lifting lever with the other hand, and shake it to gradually remove the base. The general method is to first separate the backrest from the seat, and then handle the connection between the base and the pneumatic rod.
4. Separation of the Gas Cylinder and Chair Legs
- Tap the Five-Star Base: Invert the chair legs and gently tap the five feet of the five-star base with a rubber mallet (or a regular hammer padded with a wooden board) to separate the gas spring from the five-star base.
- Separate the Gas Spring from the Base: Continue tapping the steel plate at the base until the gas spring is completely detached. If the connection is too tight, you can try the following methods:
- Step on the five-star base, pull the lifting handle to its highest position, shake it left and right with both hands, and pull it upwards;
- Pass your arm through the underside of the seat cushion, pull the lever backward with your hand, and at the same time, support the seat cushion with your forearm and shake it to pull it out.
5. Wheel Disassembly
Simply pull off the wheels on the five-star base with force. If the wheels are stuck, rotate them slightly and then pull them out, avoiding excessive force that may cause the wheels to break.
6. Packing and Storage
Place the base face down in the box, and then place the foam, armrests, backrest, headrest, and casters in order. Check for any missing small components such as adapters, screw packs, and instruction manuals to avoid missing parts during subsequent assembly.
Precautions:
- The gas rod and chair legs that have been used for a long time may have a tight connection due to oxidation or wear. Wear gloves during disassembly to avoid scratches or injuries.
- If you lack tools or encounter stubborn components, it is recommended to refer to the official disassembly video for the specific model (such as the disassembly tutorial for the Beๆฐช BC03Q) to ensure proper operation.
