Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your recliner, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Reclining mechanism feels stiff or not smooth. | Lack of lubrication or obstruction. | Ensure no objects are obstructing the mechanism. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to moving metal parts if accessible, avoiding contact with leather. |
| Chair makes squeaking noises. | Loose connections or friction between parts. | Check and tighten any visible screws or bolts. Apply lubricant to pivot points if identified as the source of friction. |
| Headrest adjustment is difficult. | Mechanism might be stiff or misaligned. | Gently work the adjustment mechanism back and forth. Ensure no fabric or foreign objects are caught in the mechanism. |
| Chair does not swivel freely. | Obstruction or debris in the swivel base. | Inspect the swivel base for any foreign objects. Clean the area and ensure the chair is on a level surface. |
