Yanos

Congratulations!

This is how to adjust Yanos to the anatomy of your body by
using the synchronous mechanism.
Seat height
Use the lever under the front of the
seat on the right (when seated) to
infinitely adjust the height of the
seat. Draw the lever up, then let it
go as soon as the seat reaches the
right height.
Seat depth
By pressing the oblong button on
the right side of the seat, you can
slide the seat forward or backward.

Synchronized dynamic sitting
The lever under the front of the seat
on the left allows you to choose between
synchronous movement of
the chair with the body and a fixed
chosen position of seat and backrest.
1. Lever in horizontal position
If you lean back, the seat and backrest
follow your movements synchronously.
2. Lever in upper position
The seat and backrest are locked
into position.
Angle of seat tilt
Yanos is also available with an optional
engageable seat tilt of -3°.
This can be engaged using the lever
under the front of the seat on the
left.
1. Lever in horizontal position
If you lean back, the seat and backrest
follow your movements synchronously
up to a seat tilt of 0°.
2. Lever in upper position
The seat and backrest are locked
into position.
3. Lever in lower position
If you lean back, the seat and backrest
follow your movements synchronously
up to a seat tilt of -3°.
To return to the original position of
0°, lean back and move the lever on
the front left of the seat into a horizontal
position.

Weight adjustment
The handwheel next to the lever
under the front of the seat on the
right allows you to adapt the chair’s
tension and, as a result, the pressure
of the backrest to the weight
of your body. Turn the wheel
forward and the tension will be
increased; turn it backward and the
tension will be reduced.
Height adjustment of
the backrest
The height of the backrest can be
adjusted when the lever at the rear
of the backrest is pulled out.

T-shaped armrest

Adjustability of the 4-D armrests
Lumbar support
As an option, Yanos is also available
with an adjustable lumbar
support. The depth of the support is
adjusted by turning the integrated
handwheel on the backrest. Turning
it to the right increases the supportive
strength, turning it to the left
reduces the strength.
Armrests
Yanos is available either with or
without 2-, 3- or 4-dimensional armrests.
The armrest height is adjusted
with the help of a push-button on
the outer side of the armrest. The
space between both armrests can
be adjusted. It is also possible to
equip the chair with armrests at a
later date. Armrest caps which can
be pushed forward and backward
(3-dimensional) and adjusted in
angle (4-dimensional) are optionally
available.
Ring-shaped armrests
As an alternative, Yanos can be
equipped with ring-shaped armrests
which are adjustable in width and
height.

Your ideal sitting position.
Your seat height is correct when
your legs form an angle of 90° at
the knees (thighs and feet horizontal).
Important: Be sure that you
feel no pressure on your thighs
(restricted blood circulation!). Your
work surface is at the right height if
your arms form an angle of approximately
90° at the elbows and your
lower arms are almost horizontal to
the desk top.
Proper care of Yanos
All mechanical and movable parts
of Yanos, as well as all dyedthrough
plastic parts, require no
maintenance. The cushions can be
cleaned with a brush and a normal
fabric cleaning agent. Napa leather:
Clean occasionally with well-diluted
soapy water. Wipe off with clean
water. Allow to dry, then polish with
a woollen cloth. Do not use a cleaning
agent or polish. If the chair is on
a carpet, you should periodically
remove the carpet fluff which can
collect around the castors.

A word on safety
The construction of Yanos is based
on international safety standards
and requirements, as well as on
years of Girsberger expertise in office
seating. All plastic parts of
Yanos are of robust material and
resistant to impact, scratches and
chipping. Yanos was designed as an
office seat for one person. If
the chair is put to any other use,
Girsberger will not accept liability.
Children should not be allowed to
play in the vicinity of Yanos. The
pneumatic spring unit should not be
exposed to heat or opened forcefully.
Work on or replacement of the
pneumatic springs may only be
done by trained specialists.
The standard model comes with
castors for carpet floors. Soft castors
for hard floors can be recognized
by the coloured ring on the
outside rim.
