6. Operating Instructions

Once the motor is correctly installed and connected, the recliner's original control mechanism (e.g., hand remote, side button) will operate the motor. Ensure the power supply is connected and functioning correctly. The motor will extend or retract the reclining mechanism based on the input from the control.

• Press and hold the appropriate button on your recliner's control to extend or retract the footrest and backrest.
• Release the button to stop the movement at the desired position.
• Avoid continuous operation for extended periods to prevent motor overheating. Allow brief rest periods between adjustments.

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance can extend the lifespan of your recliner motor:

• Cleaning: Wipe clean the motor and surrounding areas with a dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the motor or electrical components.
• Lubrication: Periodically check the moving parts of the reclining mechanism (not the motor itself) for smooth operation. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary, avoiding contact with electrical components.
• Cable Management: Ensure all cables are neatly routed and secured to prevent pinching, fraying, or entanglement with moving parts.
• Regular Inspection: Routinely inspect the motor and its connections for any signs of wear, damage, or loose fittings. Address any issues promptly.

8. Troubleshooting

If your recliner motor is not functioning correctly, perform the following troubleshooting steps. The switch and power supply are the most common causes of problems, so it is important to troubleshoot these components first before considering a motor replacement.

• No Movement:
  • Check if the recliner is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Verify that the power supply unit (transformer) is receiving power and its indicator light (if present) is on.
  • Inspect all cable connections between the power supply, control switch, and motor for looseness or damage.
  • Test the control switch/remote. If possible, try a known working switch or power supply to isolate the issue.
• Intermittent Operation:
  • Check for loose connections at any point in the electrical circuit.
  • Ensure the power supply is providing consistent voltage.
  • The motor may be overheating. Allow it to cool down for 10-15 minutes before attempting operation again.
• Unusual Noises:
  • Inspect the reclining mechanism for obstructions or misaligned parts.
  • Check if the motor's mounting bolts are secure.
  • Ensure the furniture frame is not binding or rubbing against the motor or mechanism.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, or if you have any doubts, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician for assistance. Contacting us before buying a new motor can help avoid unnecessary returns.
