Frequently Asked Questions - Aeron HermanMiller

How to adjust the seat height?

To raise the seat, stand up and pull the flat lever located on the right side of the seat upward. To lower it, remain seated and pull the same lever upward.

How to adjust the tilt tension?

Use the long rod ending with a knob on the right side of the seat. Turn the knob forward (+) to increase tension, backward (-) to decrease. Multiple turns may be needed.

How to adjust the armrest height?

Pull the lever located at the bottom of the armrest support upward to unlock. Grasp the bottom of the support and raise or lower it to the desired height, then push the lever down to lock.

How to pivot the armrests?

Grasp the end of the armrest and move it left or right as needed. This adjustment is useful for keyboard work (inward) or mouse use (outward).

How to activate forward tilt?

Lean slightly back, pull the front flat lever on the left side of the seat upward, then lean forward. To return to a horizontal position, push the lever down while leaning back.

How to use the tilt limiter?

To limit tilt, lean back to the desired position, then lift the rear flat lever (left) to lock that position. The backrest can still move forward. To release, lean forward and push the lever down.

How to adjust the lumbar support?

For thickness, remove the cushion from its post, flip it over, and put it back (one side is thicker). For height, from the seat, grasp the cushion and raise/lower it on its post to the desired position (just above your beltline).

How to adjust the PostureFit support?

Turn the knob on the right side of the seat forward until it stops, then turn backward until you get comfortable support. To disengage, turn backward. Adjust it in the forward position with the tilt limiter engaged.

How to adjust the footrest height?

USER MANUAL Aeron HermanMiller

Paddle-shaped lever on right side

HSINON3

To raise: While lifting your weight off chair, pull lever up.

To lower: While seated, pull lever up.

Adjust to fit height of worksurface or keyboard, if possible. Feet should rest flat on floor or footrest. Avoid dangling legs, which puts pressure on and restricts blood flow in the back of thighs.

Kinemat® Tilt Tension

Long stem on right side with knob

To increase tension: While seated, turn knob forward (clockwise, toward + sign).

To decrease tension: While seated, turn knob backward (anti-clockwise, toward - sign).

Depending on desired tilt resistance, a number of turns may be required.

Increased tilt tension provides more stability and back support while reclining. Too much resistance makes the chair feel stiff. Depending on weight and preference, different people will require different levels of tilt resistance.

Arm Height

Lever on base of arm support

To raise or lower arm: While seated, lift lever to unlock. Grasp base of arm support and raise or lower to desired height. Lower lever to lock.

Arm Angle

End of each arm

To swing arms in or out: While seated, grasp end of chair arm and move it left or right.

Adjust height of each chair arm so your arms are supported. This helps take weight off your shoulders.

Adjusting arm angle can help support different types of work and shifts in posture. Swing chair arms inward for support while keyboarding. Swing arm out to support use of computer mouse.

Forward Tilt

Front lever on left side

To position chair forward: Lean back and pull lever all the way up. Lean forward.

To resume horizontal position: While seated, push lever all the way down. Lean back.

Normally, forward tilt position is used with increased chair height. This relaxes the bend of your waist, knees, and ankles. To support back, set tilt limiter after assuming forward position.

Tilt Limiter

Rear lever on left side

To limit tilt range: Recline as far as you like. Move lever up to define limit of recline. You can still move forward. Readjust as necessary.

To release tilt limiter: Lean forward, press lever down.

If you want to sit in an upright position, set the tilt limiter when the seat is in a horizontal or forward position.

Lumbar Depth

Thick pad on back of chair

To adjust depth: Lift lumbar support pad out of its track in back of chair. Flip it over; replace. One side of support pad is thicker than the other side.

Lumbar Height

Thick pad on back of chair

To adjust height: While seated, reach behind chair with both hands to grasp lumbar support pad. Raise or lower to desired position within adjustment track.

Switch between thick and thin sides to determine desired amount of support.

Typically, placement is just above your belt line.

PostureFit Adjustment

Knob on right side of chair

To engage: While seated, turn knob forward (clockwise) until it stops. Then turn knob backward (counterclockwise) until you find the support that feels right for you.

To disengage: While seated, turn knob backward (counterclockwise).

Note: Set PostureFit with tilt limiter engaged in forward position to achieve the best fit for you.

Fine-Tune™ Footring Height

Long stem on left side with knob

To raise: While seated, lift your feet off the footing, turn knob forward.

To lower: While seated, lift your feet off the footring, turn knob backward.

Before making this adjustment you should be seated as far back in the chair as possible. Then adjust PostureFit so that it comfortably supports the natural alignment of your spine and provides lower back comfort.

Adjust footring height so your feet rest flat on the footing, with your body comfortably supported by breathable Pellicle® suspension. A void dangling legs, which puts pressure on the back of thighs and restricts blood flow.
