ok, non avendo ulteriori indizi sull'azione del piegare direi che


balance the chair backwards potrebbe essere un'opzione neutrale ;-)

Open out the chair until it is balanced

neutral  Mirella Biagi: Yes but it depends if the chair is folded and needs to be opened out or if it is already opened and needs to be balanced. Telt suggests that it is already opened and just needs to be balanced.
