Tools you need

Questions

Which way does the tilt mechanism go?

With its arrow marked FRONT pointing to the seat’s front. Fitted backwards, the seat tilts about its back edge and tips forward, and the levers end up on the wrong sides.

What tools do I need for a gaming chair?

The hex key that comes with it for the M8 screws, and a cross-head screwdriver for the side covers’ small screws.

The chair will not go up or down. Why?

Check that the gas lift’s protective cap came off its button before the seat went on, and that the lift’s rod is pushed fully into the mechanism’s cup.

Should I tighten the screws again?

Yes: check them after the first few weeks of use, and now and then after that.

Safety

Check that every screw is tight before you sit on the chair, and tighten them again after a few weeks. Keep your hands clear of the recline brackets when you work the recline lever: they snap forward.

About this guide

This is our own generic racing-style chair, not one brand’s. Its parts and steps follow the way racing chairs’ manuals put them together: the noblechairs HERO’s assembly instructions and Corsair’s T3 RUSH quick start guide, which marks the tilt mechanism with an arrow saying FRONT. Your chair’s own manual has the final word on its parts, its screws and its order.

Unlike the HERO, which comes with one armrest fitted, ours bolts both armrests on, four M8 screws each; and its backrest goes on with the seat already on the gas lift, as the HERO does it. The sizes are typical ones, so the cards give few.
