How To Install The Herman Miller Embody Headrest?
Congratulations on receiving your headrest for the Embody Chair by OfficeLogixShop! This guide will walk you through the unboxing and installation process so you can quickly enhance your seating experience with this ergonomic addition. If you find written instructions cumbersome, scan the QR code included in the package for a video tutorial, which might include the steps we're outlining here. Let's dive in!
What You'll Find Inside Your Package
- A set of instructions spread across two pages, one of which includes a QR code for a video installation guide.
- A foam sleeve protecting the headrest's cushion—arguably the most crucial component for comfort.
- A sleeve-covered spine component featuring a tool-less screw system, negating the need for Allen keys or similar tools. Inside the spine, you should find a metal gear; if it's missing, check the packaging as it may have dislodged during shipping.
Tools Required
- Embody Headrest
- This installation is designed to be tool-less, thanks to the innovative screw and bolt system.
Installation Steps
Preparing for Installation
- Protective Film Application: Start by applying the protective film around the area just below the Herman Miller logo to avoid scuffs during installation. This film is designed not to leave residue, ensuring a clean removal post-installation.
Installing the Spine
- Rubber Hook Attachment: Notice the rubber hook designed to prevent friction damage to your chair. This component is color-matched and made from durable silicone for longevity and protection.
- Removing the Vertical Backstopper: Unfasten the bolt securing the backstopper to allow for the spine's installation.
- Attaching the Spine: Hook the top part of the spine around the Herman Miller logo area, ensuring it's centered. Push the two prongs at the bottom outward, then insert the whole spine until it clicks into place.
Securing the Spine
- Vertical Stopper Installation: With a slight downward pressure on the spine, insert the stopper behind the designated area and listen for two clicks indicating secure attachment. Reinsert and tighten the bolt to ensure the spine is firmly in place.
Attaching the Headrest Cushion
- Cushion and Rod Assembly: Align the cushion with the spine, ensuring the vertical slit on the cushion matches the corresponding side on the spine. Insert the rod through both components to secure them temporarily.
- Adjusting Tension and Angle: Insert the metal gear into the headrest, aligning the notches, and secure with the final cap. Adjust tension as needed.
Final Adjustments
- Adjusting for Comfort: Loosen the headrest to adjust its angle and height to match your preferred ergonomic settings. Test the setup by sitting and leaning back, making further adjustments as necessary for comfort and support.
