USING YOUR LOCUS SEAT

BY FOCAL UPRIGHT

The Locus

™

Seat by Focal Upright

™

is a redesign of the traditional office

chair. You don’t sit on the Locus Seat; you lean into it. When you do,

your body is supported in a relaxed upright position. This award-

winning ergonomic seat is designed to adjust to every move you make,

while maintaining equilibrium between your back and core muscles.

If the Locus’ adjustments are properly utilized, the seat will adhere to

your body type and maximize comfort. To ensure you have the optimal

settings on your seat, follow the instructions below.

1. Adjust the Base

Begin by adjusting the length of your seat base. To do this, simply use your Hex Key

(included) to loosen the bolt. Then extend and retract the base length until you find an

adjustment that’s right for you. Once you have it right, use the Hex Key to lock the base

in place.

2. Adjust the Height

Next, adjust the height of the seat post by lifting the lever under the left side of the seat

pan. When you do this, the seat will rise on its own. If you need to lower the seat, lift the

same lever and apply pressure to the seat itself.

3. Adjust the Angle

Last but not least, you can adjust the angle of the seat pan by loosening the knob on the

right side of the seat. Once you find a comfortable angle, simply tighten the knob again

to keep the seat pan in position.

F R E Q U E N T LY AS K E D Q U E S T I O N S Q: How do I know if my seat base is extended to the proper length for me? A: Always aim to create a triangle between the following three points: your feet, your seat and the base of the seat post. Your feet should be able to rest comfortably on the angled portion of the platform without feeling cramped [too short] or strained [too long].
