2. Safety Information

- Mechanism Inspection: Regularly inspect the reclining mechanism for any signs of wear, damage, or loose components. Do not use the chair if any part of the mechanism appears compromised.
- Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the reclining mechanism to prevent pinching or injury. Supervise children around the chair.
- Stable Surface: Place the chair on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping.
- Movement: Avoid sudden or forceful movements when reclining or returning to the upright position.
- Proposition 65 Warning: This product may expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
3. Setup and Assembly
The BarcaLounger Mission 7-3323 recliner typically arrives partially assembled. Follow these steps for final setup.
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the shipping box. Ensure all packaging materials are removed from around the chair and its mechanism. The shipping box dimensions are approximately 34"W x 30"D x 34"H.
- Component Check: Verify that all parts are present and undamaged. The main components usually include the chair base and the backrest.
- Attaching the Backrest: Align the metal brackets on the backrest with the corresponding receivers on the chair base. Push down firmly until the backrest clicks securely into place. You may hear an audible click when it is properly seated.
- Positioning: Place the assembled chair in its desired location, ensuring it meets the minimum wall proximity requirement of 16.2 inches (41.1 cm) for full recline.
- Initial Test: Gently test the reclining function to ensure smooth operation.

4. Operating Instructions
The BarcaLounger Mission 7-3323 is a push-back manual recliner, designed for ease of use.
- To Recline: While seated, gently push back against the backrest. The Leggett & Platt mechanism requires approximately 2.5 lbs of pressure to activate the recline. Continue pushing back to achieve your desired reclining position. The chair offers multiple reclining positions.
- To Return to Upright Position: Lean forward and gently push down with your feet on the footrest. The chair will smoothly return to the upright position.

5. Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and appearance of your recliner.
- Leather Care: For general cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. For stubborn stains, use a leather-specific cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture.
- Wood Frame Care: Dust the mahogany wood finish with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a wood-specific cleaner or polish as needed. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes to prevent wood warping or fading.
- Mechanism Lubrication: The Leggett & Platt mechanisms feature Delrin bushings, designed for seamless motion and to prevent squeaking. Regular lubrication is generally not required for these bushings. However, if any squeaking or stiffness occurs over time, consult a professional or contact customer support for guidance.
- Fastener Check: Periodically check all bolts and fasteners, especially those attaching the mechanism to the frame, to ensure they are tight. The mechanisms are attached with bolts and T-nuts to prevent screw "back-out."
- Cleaning: The product care instructions specify "Spot Wash" for the upholstery.

6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your recliner.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chair does not recline smoothly. | Obstruction behind the chair; mechanism needs inspection; loose fasteners. | Ensure adequate wall clearance (16.2 inches). Check for any objects obstructing the mechanism. Inspect all bolts and T-nuts for tightness. If issues persist, contact customer support. |
| Squeaking sound during recline. | Minor friction in mechanism; loose components. | While Delrin bushings are designed to prevent squeaks, check for any loose connections. If squeaking continues, contact customer support for professional advice. Avoid applying lubricants unless specifically instructed. |
| Backrest feels wobbly. | Backrest not fully engaged; loose connection. | Ensure the backrest is fully pushed down and securely clicked into its receivers. If it still feels loose, remove and reattach the backrest, ensuring proper alignment. |
| Leather appears dry or cracked. | Lack of proper conditioning; exposure to direct sunlight or heat. | Apply a high-quality leather conditioner as recommended by leather care professionals. Avoid placing the chair in direct sunlight or near heat sources. |
