  1. Remove chair top, die cast aluminum base, and gas cylinder from carton.
  2. Place the tapered end of the gas cylinder into the hole in the center of the die cast aluminum base. Place the chair top on the gas cylinder. Sit in the chair
    or press firmly to “lock” the chair top assembly into the base.
  3. Make note of the label on the chair, typically placed on the bottom of the chair. This label contains the sales order number, model number, and chair color;
    as you may need it for future inquiries. Please responsibly dispose of all packaging materials; Collins encourages recycling whenever possible.


Care & Maintenance


Vinyl Upholstery:

The vinyl upholstery materials can be cleaned with a 10% solution of liquid dish soap and water, applied with a soft damp cloth or, if necessary, applied with a soft-bristle brush. Wipe away residue with a soft water-dampened cloth. To restore luster, occasionally apply a light coat of spray furniture wax, wait 30 seconds, and follow with a light buffing with a clean white cloth.

Hydraulic Base:

Before initial use, pump the chair all the way up and let it down 8 to 10 times to ensure proper lubrication of the internal seals. Repeat this procedure every 60-90 days to maintain proper seal lubrication.
Generally, no added routine maintenance is required. Annually applying a light coating of petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline) to the shaft and moving parts will ensure the quietest operation and longest life.

General Cleaning:

Use a glass cleaner or a similar cleaning product with soft cloth or paper towel. Follow the directions on the label. Periodic application of a general chrome polish will help to maintain the luster of chrome-plated components.
