Setup and Installation

Before installing the new motor actuator, ensure that the motor SKU (JLDQ.10.435.250D) on the label and the shapes of the cable connectors and motor ends match your existing unit. This is critical for proper fit and function.

1. Safety First: Disconnect power to the recliner or furniture before beginning any installation work.
2. Remove Old Actuator: Carefully detach the old motor actuator from its mounting points and disconnect all electrical connections. Note the orientation and connection points for reference.
3. Verify Compatibility: Compare the physical dimensions and connector types of the new actuator with the old one. Pay close attention to the minimum installation dimension and stroke length as shown in Figure 2.
4. Install New Actuator: Mount the new JLDQ-10 motor actuator into the designated position. Ensure all mounting screws or pins are securely fastened.
5. Connect Wiring: Reconnect the electrical cables to the appropriate ports. The motor is a DC motor, and connections should be straightforward. Ensure all connections are firm and secure.
6. Test Functionality: Once installed, carefully reconnect power and perform a test run of the recliner's functions to ensure smooth operation.

Operating Instructions

The Okin JLDQ-10 motor actuator operates in conjunction with your recliner's control switch or remote. Once properly installed and connected to a 24V DC power supply, the motor will extend or retract the recliner mechanism based on the input from the control unit.

• Recline/Extend: Press and hold the appropriate button on your recliner's switch or remote to extend the footrest and/or recline the backrest.
• Return/Retract: Press and hold the opposite button to retract the footrest and return the backrest to its upright position.
• Duty Cycle: Adhere to the specified operation frequency of "On 1 min / Off 8 min" to prevent overheating and prolong the motor's lifespan. Avoid continuous operation for extended periods.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your JLDQ-10 motor actuator.

• Keep Clean: Periodically clean the motor and surrounding areas to prevent dust and debris buildup, which can hinder performance.
• Check Connections: Routinely inspect all electrical connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or failure.
• Lubrication: The actuator is generally maintenance-free regarding internal lubrication. Do not attempt to lubricate internal components unless specifically instructed by Okin support.
• Avoid Overload: Do not exceed the specified push and pull force (1000N) to prevent damage to the motor.

Troubleshooting

If your recliner is not operating correctly after installing the JLDQ-10 motor actuator, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Movement:
  • Power Supply: Ensure the recliner is properly plugged into a working power outlet and that the power supply unit (transformer) is functioning correctly.
  • Electrical Connections: Double-check all cable connections between the motor, power supply, and control switch/remote. Ensure they are fully seated and not damaged.
  • Control Switch/Remote: Before replacing the motor, it is highly recommended to troubleshoot your recliner's control switch or remote. You can test this by temporarily connecting a known working switch from another recliner, if available. A faulty switch is a common cause of non-operation.
• Partial Movement or Stuttering:
  • Obstructions: Check for any physical obstructions preventing the recliner mechanism from moving freely.
  • Overload: Ensure the recliner is not being overloaded beyond its weight capacity, which can strain the motor.
  • Duty Cycle: Allow the motor to cool down if it has been operated continuously. Adhere to the "On 1 min / Off 8 min" duty cycle.
• Motor Noise:
  • Unusual noises might indicate a mechanical issue or a need for professional inspection.
