How do you get the foot rest to go down and stay down?????

Lift and hold the lever on the left side, and push the foot rest down to the position you want, then let go of the lever, it should stay.

As you're sitting in the chair, reach your left hand down below the back of the chair, and pull the lever up. With your legs, push the footrest down, and WHILE STILL HOLDING THE FOOTREST DOWN, release the lever. You might have to wait a second to release the footrest after releasing the lever, because it's pneumatic.If you stop holding it down before or while you release the lever, it'll pop back up until it "catches".Hope that helps...

It keep sticking out into my feet, When I kept pushing it back it and each time would rub against the chair and riop off all the material. In days. Never could adjust it. How I stopped it from popping up after it was ripped to pieces, was to take the foot rest off the chair. This is the worst item I ever bought on amazon.

When you pull up on the lever on the leftside of chair you use your leg or the heels of your feet to push down and back on the leg rest to place the leg rest in a position you like. I hope this helps. I love my chair.

My nephew just raises his feet a little to coast. There are no foot rests. His feet are his brakes. I hope this answers your question.

one of 2 ways. first -- rubber foot cups MUST have flat side face down! Two -- take legs apart and reassemble them. Be sure they are tight. That's all I have.

Do not press down on it when using. Just insert behind heel and hold in that postion

I'm guessing that you used the lever on it to lower it? Try doing it when your not sitting on it. You'll need 2 people though. That's why I returned it. It's very difficult to use. Good luck

The back doesn't start moving back until the foot rest comes all the way up.

I guess first position is chair goes back(back of the chair touches the floor) and foot rest extends out. Then you can push back further on the back of the chair for a more horizontal position but the foot rest doesn't move anymore. Your legs will always be sticking out unless you are just sitting upright in the chair.

You have to "slide" it in from the side, I think. Worth a try. Or maybe have one person hold one side down while another person pushes the axle down with foot (while wearing a shoe!) Try both suggestions. It's been a while since I put ours together. We have so many of these kids things, it hard to remember how they were all put together. I totally understand your frustration!

Michael, your legs would definitely hang over ! You might want to get an extension for the leg rest, do not know if this is an option.

I just dropped the seat down a couple notches to a level that is comfortable. I think the instructions say to keep it at the higher notch, but it works fine if you lower it.

I don't know if you've found a solution for yourself or not, but maybe this will help someone else in this situation...If you strap your feet into the pedals while the pedals are horizontal and parallel to the floor (with your legs perpendicular to the pedals and knees directly above your feet while sitting with the seat rested near the digital readout) instead of with the pedals at their resting position (at an angle), it seems to work infinitely better. I did this last night and was able to make it through the workout without my feet coming out of the pedals. Seems to have something to do with the feet secured flatter and with the weight on the heel rather than looser and more weight on the ball of the foot.

1. Make sure the two little rings of plastic under the arms are in the "unlocked" position, which is lifted up towards the armrest. When they are down toward the frame of the chair they lock the position in whatever incline it's currently in. 2. To recline: Put your feet on the foot bar at the floor. Push down and outward with your feet while you also lean back into the chair with your back. Your weight will slide this chair into a reclined position. 3. To go back to an upright position, lean forward and bend your knees to pull your feet back, like you would in a Barc-a-lounger.

You need to push the back rest forward and then back to a flat position first. Then while you are pulling back rest up from floor, it will click at various upright positions. Stop when you get the position you want. That should work .

Try turning the leg upside down or facing in on the opposite side, but also, like everyone else said, put the legs together first. I did this, but the legs are also easy to turn upside down or face the wrong way. it took me a couple of times to get it right. hope this helps!

In the manual there are instructions resetting the down force. I believe you have to set dip switch positions and then run the initial down force setup.

Loosen the lever. The shoe/plate should drop down (pivot). You might have to force it the first few times if it is tight. Mine was easy to do.

It has to be only up or down. It also doesn't stay in the reclining position unless you scoot back and lay down as far as you can.
