Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure the power to the recliner or lift chair is disconnected. Verify that the motor SKU "JLDQ.12.157.333K" on the label and the cable connectors/motor end shapes match your existing unit.
Tools Required
- Wrenches (appropriate sizes for mounting bolts)
- Screwdrivers (if applicable)
- Pliers (for pins, if applicable)
Step-by-Step Installation
- Carefully tip the recliner or lift chair to access the underside.
- Locate the existing motor actuator. Note its mounting points and how it connects to the chair's frame and mechanism.
- Disconnect all electrical cables from the old actuator. Pay attention to the type and orientation of each connector.
- Remove the mounting bolts or pins securing the old actuator to the chair frame.
- Carefully remove the old actuator.
- Position the new Okin JLDQ-12 actuator in the same location. Align the mounting holes.
- Secure the new actuator using the provided mounting bolts and pins. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Connect all electrical cables to the new actuator. Ensure each connector is fully seated. Some models may have an extra accessory cable; if not used, secure it out of the way.
- Carefully return the chair to its upright position.
- Reconnect power to the chair and test the actuator's function.
Note: The new assembly may have a slightly different plastic mount, but the holes should be in the same location. Use the new mounting bolts provided.
Operating Instructions
Once the Okin JLDQ-12 motor actuator is installed, operate your recliner or lift chair using its standard remote control or switch.
- Press and hold the appropriate button on your remote or switch to extend or retract the footrest and recline the backrest.
- Release the button when the desired position is reached.
Important Operating Considerations
- The motor has an operation frequency of "On 1 minute / Off 8 minutes". This means the motor is designed for intermittent use. Avoid continuous operation for more than 1 minute to prevent overheating and ensure longevity. Allow at least 8 minutes of rest between extended uses.
- Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of your recliner or lift chair.
- Ensure no obstructions are in the path of the moving parts during operation.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your Okin JLDQ-12 motor actuator.
- Cleaning: Keep the actuator free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the motor or electrical components.
- Lubrication: The actuator is generally maintenance-free regarding lubrication. Do not apply lubricants unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
- Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect all electrical cables for signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Mounting Inspection: Check mounting bolts and pins periodically to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary.
Storage
If the chair or actuator is to be stored for an extended period, ensure it is in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
If your recliner or lift chair is not functioning correctly after installing the Okin JLDQ-12 actuator, refer to the following troubleshooting steps.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Motor does not operate | No power | Check power supply to the chair. Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into an outlet and the chair. |
| Motor does not operate | Loose cable connection | Verify all electrical cables connected to the actuator are securely seated. |
| Motor does not operate | Faulty remote/switch | Test the remote or switch. If possible, try a known working remote/switch. |
| Motor operates intermittently or slowly | Overheating | Adhere to the "On 1 min / Off 8 min" duty cycle. Allow the motor to cool down. |
| Motor operates intermittently or slowly | Obstruction | Check for any objects or fabric obstructing the movement of the actuator or chair mechanism. |
| Actuator makes unusual noises | Loose mounting | Check and tighten all mounting bolts and pins. |
| Actuator makes unusual noises | Internal issue | If noises persist and operation is affected, contact customer support. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, it may indicate a more complex issue. Contact qualified service personnel or the manufacturer for assistance.
