5. Installation

This motor is designed as a direct replacement for Okin Model JLDQ.11.156.333P. Compatibility with other models or brands is not guaranteed due to variations in frame requirements, minimum install dimensions, stroke, and plug types. Verify your existing motor's brand and model number before installation.

Installation Steps:

1. Preparation: Disconnect the recliner from its power source. Position the recliner to access the motor area safely.
2. Identify Connections: The motor set includes three types of connectors:
   • A 5-pin round plug for the switch hand control.
   • A 2-pin square plug with a clip for the power supply.
   • A 2-pin socket for a slaved motor (if applicable).
3. Remove Old Motor: Carefully detach the old motor from the recliner frame. Retain all existing mounting hardware (bolts, nuts, pins) as this replacement motor does not typically include them.
4. Mount New Motor: Align the new Okin JLDQ.11.156.333P motor with the mounting points on the recliner frame. Secure it using the retained hardware. Ensure the motor is firmly attached and moves freely without obstruction.
5. Connect Wiring: Connect the 5-pin round plug to the hand control, the 2-pin square plug to the power supply, and the 2-pin socket to any slaved motor if your recliner uses one. Ensure all connections are snug.
6. Test Operation: Once installed and wired, reconnect the recliner to power. Test the motor's function using the hand control to ensure smooth and complete extension and retraction.

Note: If you are comfortable with basic mechanical tasks and have a socket wrench set and hex keys, you should be able to perform this installation. If unsure, consult a professional.

6. Operation

Once correctly installed, the Okin JLDQ.11.156.333P motor operates in conjunction with your recliner's existing hand control. Pressing the appropriate buttons on the hand control will activate the motor, causing the recliner mechanism to extend or retract.

• Ensure the recliner is connected to a functional power outlet.
• Use the hand control to adjust the recliner to your desired position.
• Avoid continuous operation for more than 1 minute to prevent overheating. Allow an 8-minute rest period between extended uses.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Okin recliner motor.

• Cleaning: The motor housing can be spot cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the motor and its connections for any signs of wear, damage, or loose wiring.
• Lubrication: The internal components of the motor are factory-lubricated and generally do not require additional lubrication. If unusual noises occur, consult a professional.
• Environmental Conditions: Ensure the motor is used in an indoor environment, as specified by the manufacturer.

8. Troubleshooting

If your recliner motor is not functioning as expected, perform the following basic troubleshooting steps:

1. Check Power Supply: Ensure the recliner is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet. Verify that the power supply unit (transformer) is receiving power and its indicator light (if present) is on.
2. Inspect Hand Control: Test the hand control for responsiveness. Sometimes, a faulty hand control can prevent the motor from operating.
3. Examine Connections: Check all motor connections (5-pin for hand control, 2-pin for power, 2-pin for slaved motor) to ensure they are securely seated and not damaged.
4. Motor Compatibility: Confirm that the installed motor is indeed the correct Okin JLDQ.11.156.333P model, especially if it's a recent replacement. Incompatible motors will not function correctly.
5. Obstructions: Look for any physical obstructions preventing the recliner mechanism or motor rod from moving freely.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may indicate a more complex problem with the motor or electrical system. In such cases, it is recommended to contact a qualified technician or the manufacturer's support.
