If your chair isn’t reclining as much as you’d like, don’t worry! Many Barber and All-Purpose Chairs have a gas shock system that controls the recline. You may be able to adjust it with a simple fix.

Follow these steps to see if your chair’s recline can be adjusted:

Lay the chair on its back – This gives you better access to the gas shock. (No need to worry—oil will NOT leak out!)

Find the gas shock – It should look similar to the one in the image below.

Check for black stoppers – Most gas shocks have at least one black stopper that limits how far the chair reclines. Some have more than one.

Remove a stopper (if needed) – If your chair doesn’t recline far enough, try removing one stopper at a time, leaving a minimum of one stopper in place.

Test the recline – Once you’ve removed a stopper, set the chair upright and test how far it reclines. If there’s only one stopper left, your chair is already at its maximum recline.

📌 Important: Be sure to keep any removed stoppers in case you want to reinstall them later!
