Most of the time, the answer is yes. This is a common problem that arises when the stools are used frequently. Luckily, it is easy to fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_bar_stool_keep_rising\"><\/span><strong>Why does my bar stool keep rising?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The levers may not work after frequent usage. When there&rsquo;s no weight on the lever, it may allow unnecessary air in the cylinder which fills the cylinder, causing the stool to keep rising. The set screw may also be screwed too tightly, which makes the cylinder active causing automatic rising.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy

data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>There are usually two types of bar stool- hydraulic and gas lift bar stool. The hydraulic bar stool keeps rising when the activation lever is pressed down without having any weight on the stool&rsquo;s seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The air then forces into the cylinder which connects the seat and the base, pushing the seat upwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gas lift bar stools have a cylinder filled with nitrogen gas. In the same way, when the valves stop working, the nitrogen gas fills the entire cylinder, exerting pressure on the seat to rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_stop_bar_stool_from_rising\"><\/span><strong>How to stop bar stool from rising?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It is possible to stop the bar stool from rising if there&rsquo;s a problem with the screws and not the cylinder.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During installation, make sure the set screw is not significantly loose or tight. Adjust the screws near the lever and the cylinder. Slightly tighten the screw to lower the seat. However, if your screws are already tightened, loosen it as too tight screws activate cylinders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_bar_stool_keep_going_down\"><\/span><strong>Why does my bar stool keep going down?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The pneumatic cylinders when it starts to deteriorate lets the gas or air inside it drain out so it releases any pressure forcing the seat to stay upwards. As a result of having no air in the cylinder, the seat keeps going down when there&rsquo;s no weight or pressure on the stool and the lever.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main reason is the cylinder that is no longer working. It usually means that the valve in the cylinder is now allowing the air or nitrogen gas to flow out over time. It can also happen when there are leaks in the cylinder; air passes out easily through those holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/p><p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a data-amazonimages=\"\" title=\"MAISON ARTS Swivel Bar Stools Set of 2 for Kitchen Counter Adjustable Counter Height Bar Chairs with Back Tall Barstools PU Leather Kitchen Island Stools, 300 LBS Bear Capacity, Grey\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08F7L88Y2\/?tag=yourniftyhome-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"1291\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"MAISON ARTS Swivel Bar Stools Set of 2 for Kitchen Counter Adjustable Counter Height Bar Chairs with Back Tall Barstools PU Leather Kitchen Island Stools, 300 LBS Bear Capacity, Grey\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51SCyFkupUL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"MAISON ARTS Swivel Bar Stools Set of 2 for Kitchen Counter Adjustable Counter Height Bar Chairs with Back Tall Barstools PU Leather Kitchen Island Stools, 300 LBS Bear Capacity, Grey\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"MAISON ARTS Swivel Bar Stools Set of 2 for Kitchen Counter Adjustable Counter Height Bar Chairs with Back Tall Barstools PU Leather Kitchen Island Stools, 300 LBS Bear Capacity, Grey\" class=\"size-large aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51SCyFkupUL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"MAISON ARTS Swivel Bar Stools Set of 2 for Kitchen Counter Adjustable Counter Height Bar Chairs with Back Tall Barstools PU Leather Kitchen Island Stools, 300 LBS Bear Capacity, Grey\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a><\/p> <p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a title=\"MAISON ARTS Swivel Bar Stools Set of 2 for Kitchen Counter Adjustable Counter Height Bar Chairs with Back Tall Barstools PU Leather Kitchen Island Stools, 300 LBS Bear Capacity, Grey\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08F7L88Y2\/?tag=yourniftyhome-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"1292\">Visit here to see this on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_stop_bar_stool_from_sinking\"><\/span><strong>How to stop bar stool from sinking?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A bar stool can be stopped in the first place from sinking, but the methods might be temporary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A hose clamp can be wrapped around the cylinder to prevent the air or nitrogen gas from leaking.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the hose clamp, make sure it has a diameter of 2cm or 13\/16&Prime;- 1-3\/4&Prime;. A duct tape must be attached to secure the hose clamp and prevent it from sliding down from the cylinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <strong>a plastic pacer or a PVC pipe can be cut according to the desired height of the cylinder and wrapped around it.<\/strong> Make sure it adjusts to the preferred height of the cylinder. It works better than a hose clamp with lots of duct tape attached to a stool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <strong>these methods only stop the seat from staying down once the cylinder has been broken. It will also not enable the user to adjust the height accordingly.<\/strong> Hence, it is not a permanent solution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_a_gas_lift_bar_stool_work\"><\/span><strong>How does a gas lift bar stool work?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A gas lift bar stool works differently than a hydraulic bar stool. <strong>The main mechanism is in the stem of the chair which connects the seat to the base.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stem has a cylinder, and its mechanism is also known as &ldquo;gas spring&rdquo;. It is a pump full of pressurized nitrogen gas and oil that is sealed. The oil lubricates the cylinder while the nitrogen gas stores energy in the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two elements ensure smooth movements in the piston inside the cylinder when force is exerted on the lever underneath the seat. The piston forces air through a valve into the back of the system when the gas lift is pressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The air which was compressed then looks for its way out of the gas lift and that is when the stool changes its height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In simple words, <strong>when the activation lever is pressed down, the piston slides back and forth, causing the top seat to move up and down<\/strong>. Additionally, the piston can slide more easily if the bar stool has a wide surface area, which will make the stools lift more smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><\/p><p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a data-amazonimages=\"\" title=\"Modern Square PU Leather Adjustable Bar Stools with Back,Set of 2,Counter Height Swivel Stool by Leopard (Black)\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01JYUSLPM\/?tag=yourniftyhome-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"1293\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Modern Square PU Leather Adjustable Bar Stools with Back,Set of 2,Counter Height Swivel Stool by Leopard (Black)\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41T4ZSyJFBL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"Modern Square PU Leather Adjustable Bar Stools with Back,Set of 2,Counter Height Swivel Stool by Leopard (Black)\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Modern Square PU Leather Adjustable Bar Stools with Back,Set of 2,Counter Height Swivel Stool by Leopard (Black)\" class=\"size-large aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41T4ZSyJFBL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"Modern Square PU Leather Adjustable Bar Stools with Back,Set of 2,Counter Height Swivel Stool by Leopard (Black)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a><\/p> <p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a title=\"Modern Square PU Leather Adjustable Bar Stools with Back,Set of 2,Counter Height Swivel Stool by Leopard (Black)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01JYUSLPM\/?tag=yourniftyhome-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"1294\">Visit here to see this on Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_disassemble_a_hydraulic_bar_stool\"><\/span><strong>How to disassemble a hydraulic bar stool?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Remove_the_seat\"><\/span><strong>Remove the seat:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Turn the stool upside down and hold onto the bar stool above the footrest.
