Tools and Materials Needed:
- New Embody Antler
- Screwdriver or a power drill
Steps to Replace the Broken Antler:
Removing the Old Antler:
- Carefully detach the old antler from the chair's fabric. Applying a bit of force is necessary, so don't be alarmed if fabric extensions come off in the process.
Preparing the Chair:
- Remove the old supporting pieces from the spine, along with the old plastic dome. Ensure all remnants are cleared to make way for the new components.
Installing the New Dome:
- Insert the new dome by placing the plastic extensions into the dedicated gaps within the fabric. This step requires attention to detail to ensure proper alignment.
Attaching the New Antler:
- Locate the four holes in the middle and two on the sides of the dome for correct antler placement.
- Begin the reconnection by inserting the rod into the spine. Attach the two adjacent plastic sides, noting the correct orientation: RH for the right side and LH for the left side.
- Secure the assembly by inserting clips on both sides, ensuring everything is perfectly aligned before closing the cover.
Conclusion:
Congratulations on successfully replacing the broken antler on your Herman Miller Embody chair. This repair not only restores the chair's aesthetic appeal but also its structural integrity, ensuring continued ergonomic support.
