Dauphin Syncro-Automatic KO 58295 Mode D'emploi page 3

You are sitting on a quality product from the company Dauphin. However, please note

that chairs can cause health problems if used incorrectly. With this in mind, use our

sitting tips and the functions built into your chair. By doing so, you will make a substantial,

personalcontribution to avoiding problems when sitting.

1. Sit well back in the seat and use the entire seat area as far as the backrest.

2. Adjust the seat height ➊ so that your thighs and lower legs together form an angle of at

least (though ideally more than) 90°. Your feet are then relaxed and ﬂ at on the ﬂ oor.

Your elbows are resting on the desk top and there fore the weight is taken off your

shoulder muscles.

3. In order to achieve optimum support for your thighs, use the seat-depth adjustment ➋

where appropriate so that there is enough space for about two ﬁ ngers up to the width

of a hand between the front edge of the seat and the back of the knee.

4. Adjust the height of the backrest ➌ or lumbar support ➍ (where the upholstery of the

backrest is thickest) so that the lumbar support is roughly positioned at the level of

your belt.

5. If you spend a lot of time working in the relaxed position we recommend a neckrest ➎

to support the neck muscles. Adjust the neckrest so that your head is neither

pushed forwards nor overstretched and is supported over its entire surface.

6. After setting the basic functions described above, activate the Syncro-Automatic® ➏

(maximum backrest tilt setting). Change your upper-body posture as frequently as

possible to ensure that your muscles do not become cramped.

7. You are sitting on a swivel chair with automatic bodyweight adjustment. The

backrest counterpressure is automatically controlled by your bodyweight as you

move. Your upper body should be upright, but not pushed forward. You can also

increase the backrest counterpressure manually if necessary. To do this, pre-set the

backrest counterpressure ➐.

8. Activate, in particular for the front seated postures, the automatic seat-tilt feature ➑.

Make sure you observe, in the knee and arm joints and in the hip joint, an opening angle

of at least 90° (right angle).

9. Now adjust the height of the armrests ➒ so that your elbows rest on the desk and

your shoulder and neck muscles are relaxed (same height as the desk or keyboard).

Correct the seat height, if appropriate. Adjust the width of the armrests ➒ so that the

elbows are not pressed against the body.

10. Make use of all the possibilites that your chair offers. By doing so, you will make a

personal contribution to avoiding problems when sitting.
