Final Step: Mounting the Headrest


Please note, the Coat Hanger (if required) should be installed Before the headrest is mounted onto the Aeron Chair.

If coat hanger installation is required, please go back to Step Zero.

Required:
  • AeroSense Headrest
  • 1 x Allen Wrench Hex Key
  • Aeron Chair
Instructions:
  • Locate the Hex Bolt on the inner side of the AeroGrip headrest mount
  • Loosen the hex bolt (without fully detaching it) with the hex key to open the bracket of the AeroGrip

  • Locate the Herman Miller logo on the center line of the Aeron Chair back frame. This is where the headrest will be mounted
  • Notice the logo sits on the point with the widest frame edge between the top and lower edge of the back frame, and the frame edge becomes narrower as the contour extends to the left and right side
  • Starting from either the left or right side of the Aeron Chair back frame with the narrowest frame edge, slide the AeroGrip mount carefully onto the center line of the chair
  • To help aligning to the center line, the Aeron Chair’s sizing key spots can be used. The key spots are located on the underside of the Herman Miller logo
  • Fasten the hex bolt and metal bracket with the hex key to secure the headrest and finish mounting
  • Please put the hex key back to its designated compartment after use.

Headrest Adjustments

Height, Tilt and Forward / Backward

Height

  • Height adjustment is done by loosening the locking hand bolt attached on the ClickLoc Module (behind pillow mesh)
  • Upon unlocking, the headrest pillow can slide up and down on the height height rail with click stops
  • Simply tighten the hand bolt again to lock the headrest height

Tilt

FlexiShift (default mode):
  • Simply adjust the tilt angle manually when stand up or seated.
SecureHelix:
  • Tilt angle can be fine-tuned by using the self-contained hex key.
  • To make adjustments, insert the hex key to the adjustment hole located on the top of headrest trunk.
  • Setting is self-locking with SecureHelix.
  • Please put the hex key back to its designated compartment after use.

Forward / Backward

  • The adjustment can be fine-tuned by using the self-contained hex key. The adjustment hole is located on the bottom of headrest trunk.
  • To make adjustments, insert the hex key to the adjustment hole located on the bottom of headrest trunk.
  • Please put the hex key back to its designated compartment after use.
Tips: It is recommended to use one hand to hold the headrest trunk and assist the forward / backward movements while using the other hand to fine-tune the setting using the hex key.  The reason behind this is that the torque (i.e. angular force) is considerably strong at this location. It would be more difficult to adjust  by using the hex key movements alone.
