How do I make my office chair recline?

Almost all execuitive, swivel, office chairs have the same mechanism underneath. I have owned several of them in my life. And almost every one has occasionally got stuck so I can't lean back in it. I've looked closely at everything underneath, and have never been able to figure out what to do. Sometimes it fixes itself, but I haven't been able to detect anything different about the mechanism underneath when it reclines vs. when it doesn't.

This time I have a BRAND NEW chair and it doesn't recline (even though I'm sure it's supposed to - it has the same mechanism underneath as all the others), and the whole thing is getting very aggravating. So who can help me?

This is my first question ever, after earning 2383 points by giving answers - so please don't let me down! :-)

Edit -

There was a series of eight pictures, without words, telling me how to put it together. That's the total instruction manual.

On some of them you have to pull out slightly on the handle to get it to release.

On my chair there is a lever handle that adjust the height of the chair, if I pull the handle out a little, which is the same arm that locks the recline position pin. Push the handle in it locks and pull out it unlocks.
