Back won't tilt. What seems to be the problem? Thanks.

On the right side, underneath the seat is a lever. This lever controls the height of the chair and also locks out the tilt feature if it is pushed inward toward the user. Pull it out (ie away from you) and this should fix the problem. If it does not, then there is something mechanically wrong with your product

In addition to pulling the lever out, there's a knob under the chair which adjusts "tilt tension" which is pre-set to be very tight. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to loosen it - that should make it easier to tilt.

The tilt mechanism can sometimes be stuck, if you examine the bar that goes into the "pneumatic pump area", you'll see it crosses over to the left side to lock the seat... If it isn't engaging, try some WD-40 or tilt chair forward and try in a slightly forward tilt position, and it should engage

I am having similar problems but I find mine sags to much. I bought it for my back, also.

Yes, ours leaned back but I just adjusted it slightly (heard a little "pop") and now it's sitting straight and swivels nicely. I think maybe we didn't get the screws properly threaded in the stand initially.

Mine has icons imprinted on each of the levers as to what they do. The 2nd lever from the back adjust the tilt forward and back. Pull the 2nd lever from the back upward, then you have to actually sit in the chair and force back to get the chair to move. When it is in the desired position lock it in place with the lever by pushing it downward.

I've never experienced this. I just tried to tilt it, but couldn't. We've taken it on pretty steep hills, too.

I pull out the lever to make the chair lean back. I've never felt the need to make any other adjustment. This is the same approach to "Tilt" that I've used on other chairs. Did you expect something different or have you not been able to pull out the lever so it would tilt?

loosen the nut at the center of the actual mount location that mounts to the tv,moniter etc.. it will tilt SLIGHTLY.if I had your email address, I could send you a picture as to what I am referring to.

Mine is quiet as well. No sounds on tilt. I recommend you contact the Boss Chair customer service hotline: 1-800-593-1888. I had a problem during assembly and they were able to help me via phone.

If you grab the left and right sides of the monitor with both hands at the same time then apply pressure to tilt it backward you will see that the monitor tilts back, but only slightly forward. Hope this helps.

The seat and backrest move as one. So the whole thing tilts back, not just the backrest.

There is a T bolt (bolt with plastic wing type head easy to turn) that comes with the unit to lock the tilting position. I just adjusted my screen earlier today, so it's there and it works. Not a whole lot of range for tilting though, maybe 30 degree up and down? Hope this helps.

I would say if it is flopping - you might want to try some silicone or perhaps even just glue (and set in a position that works for you, since moving the head would be limited or not an option at that point).. if all else fails.. I would grab another one.. perhaps just a defect or overuse? -- have had ours for years with no issue - love it.

The chair does not tilt back...or if it does, I have yet to discover that feature. I should mention that it comes with very inadequate instructions. Even those for putting it together were pretty useless. Fortunately, it isn't all that difficult to work out anyway. And there is no other information included. So there might be a feature I missed. OTOH, it's a very comfortable and good looking chair and I'm pretty happy with it.

Simplest way to fix it is to put a strap on it tie it down tight. Mine does sway, but I don't worry about it.

Obviously pulling the handle up with raise & lower. To operate the tilt, pull the handle straight out horizontally. This will allow you to rock it. Bring the seat back to an upright position, push the handle back in horizontally and it will lock. Hopefully this helps you!

The lever is for adjusting up and down. Try turning the round knob underneath the seat. That seems to help the tension when leaning back.
