   • Connect the 5-pin hand control plug cable to the new motor.
   Ensure all connections are firm and fully seated.
7. Test Functionality: Plug the recliner back into the wall outlet. Use the hand control to test the full range of motion (recline and return to upright) of the recliner.
8. Secure Recliner: Once functionality is confirmed, return the recliner to its normal position.

Note: If you encounter any difficulties during installation, it is recommended to seek assistance from a professional furniture repair technician.

6. Operating Instructions

Once the Limoss motor actuator is correctly installed and connected, operate your power recliner using its standard hand control unit. The hand control typically features buttons to extend the footrest and recline the backrest, and to return the chair to its upright position.

• Press and hold the appropriate button on your hand control to recline the chair or extend the footrest.
• Release the button when the desired position is reached.
• To return to the upright position, press and hold the corresponding button until the chair is fully closed.

Important: Avoid continuous operation for extended periods. The motor has a duty cycle of Max. T_on: 2min, Min. T_off: 18min. This means it should not be operated for more than 2 minutes continuously and requires a minimum rest period of 18 minutes between extended uses to prevent overheating.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your Limoss motor actuator:

• Cleaning: Keep the motor and surrounding areas free from dust and debris. Use a dry cloth to wipe down the exterior of the motor. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the motor.
• Connection Check: Periodically inspect all electrical connections (power and hand control) to ensure they are secure and free from damage.
• Cable Inspection: Check power cords and hand control cables for any signs of fraying, cuts, or kinks. Replace damaged cables immediately.
• Lubrication: The motor actuator is generally maintenance-free regarding internal lubrication. Do not attempt to lubricate internal components unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
