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.
