1. Introduction
The Fruhdi KDPT007-115 is a replacement linear actuator motor designed for electric recliners, massage chairs, and lift beds. This manual provides essential information for the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of your actuator kit. Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting any installation or operation.
2. Safety Information
- Always disconnect power to the recliner or lift chair before performing any installation, maintenance, or inspection.
- The maximum load capacity for this actuator is 1500N (approximately 153 kg or 337 lbs). Do not exceed this limit.
- Use only a KD Power Supply with this actuator. Using an incompatible power supply may cause damage or malfunction.
- Observe the duty cycle: 2 minutes ON, 18 minutes OFF (10%). Continuous operation beyond this limit can lead to overheating and permanent damage to the motor.
- Keep hands, hair, and loose clothing clear of moving parts during operation.
- Ensure children and pets are kept away from the recliner during operation and maintenance.

5. Setup and Installation
Installation of the Fruhdi KDPT007-115 actuator requires careful attention to detail. If you are unsure about any step, it is recommended to seek professional assistance.
- Preparation: Before beginning, ensure the recliner or lift chair is in a stable position and disconnect it from the main power supply.
- Verify Compatibility: Confirm that the model number KDPT007-115 matches your existing actuator or is compatible with your furniture's requirements. Pay close attention to the stroke length (8.90 inches) and minimum installation dimension (5.90 inches).
- Remove Old Actuator: Carefully detach the old actuator from its mounting points on the chair frame. Note how it was connected to the power supply and hand control.
- Install New Actuator: Position the new Fruhdi KDPT007-115 actuator in the same location as the old one. Securely fasten it to the chair frame using appropriate hardware (not included, typically reused from the old actuator).
- Connect Power Transformer: Connect the 2-pin flat round connector from the actuator to the power transformer.
- Connect Hand Control: Plug the 5-pin connector from the hand control cable into the corresponding port on the actuator.
- Secure Connections: Ensure all electrical connections are firm and properly seated to prevent intermittent operation.
- Final Check: Double-check all mounting points and connections before restoring power.

6. Operating Instructions
Once the actuator is correctly installed and all connections are secure, you can begin operating your recliner.
- Restore Power: Plug the AC power cord into a wall outlet and ensure the power transformer is connected to the actuator.
- Use Hand Control: Utilize the buttons on your recliner's hand control to extend or retract the actuator, thereby adjusting the chair's position.
- Observe Duty Cycle: To prolong the life of the actuator, avoid continuous operation. Adhere to the 2 minutes ON / 18 minutes OFF duty cycle. Allow the motor to cool down between extended uses.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and proper function of your Fruhdi KDPT007-115 actuator.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the actuator and cables with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all cables, connections, and mounting points for signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Replace any damaged components immediately.
- Obstruction Check: Ensure that the actuator's moving parts are free from any obstructions, such as fabric, debris, or foreign objects.
- Lubrication: The actuator is factory-lubricated. Do not attempt to lubricate internal components unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Fruhdi KDPT007-115 actuator, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Actuator does not move | No power supply Loose connections Faulty hand control/switch Overload protection activated | Ensure power cord is plugged in and outlet is functional. Check all 2-pin and 5-pin connections are secure. Test hand control or power supply if possible (e.g., with another compatible device). Disconnect power for 10-15 minutes to reset, then try again. |
| Actuator moves slowly or with difficulty | Overload Obstruction Low voltage | Reduce load on the chair (ensure weight is within 1500N limit). Check for any obstructions in the chair mechanism. Verify power supply output voltage is correct (DC 29V). |
| Unusual noise during operation | Mechanical obstruction Internal wear | Inspect for any foreign objects or misaligned parts. If noise persists and performance is affected, contact support. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support for further assistance.
