Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure your recliner's power is disconnected. It is crucial to verify that the replacement motor's brand and model match your existing unit to ensure compatibility with your recliner's frame, which has specific requirements for actuator dimensions, stroke, and plugs.
Compatibility Check:
- Confirm your existing motor is an Okin JLDQ.14.270.114A or JLDQ.14.270.114F series.
- Ensure the physical dimensions and plug type (2-pin with clip) are consistent with your recliner's requirements.

Installation Steps:
- Disconnect Power: Unplug the recliner from the wall outlet to prevent accidental operation during installation.
- Remove Old Motor: Carefully detach the old motor from the recliner frame. Note how it is mounted and connected.
- Connect New Motor: Attach the new Okin motor to the recliner frame using the existing mounting points. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Plug Connection: Connect the 2-pin plug from the new motor to the corresponding receptacle on your recliner's power supply or control box. Ensure the clip engages properly for a secure connection.

The installation process is designed to be straightforward. Once installed, the motor operates quietly.
Operating Instructions
The Okin Refined-R motor actuator is an integral component of your power recliner, enabling smooth and controlled movement. Operation is typically controlled via the recliner's hand control or integrated buttons.
Standard Operation:
- Once installed and connected to power, use your recliner's standard controls (buttons or remote) to extend or retract the footrest and recline the backrest.
- The motor is designed for intermittent use. Its operational frequency is specified as On 1 minute / Off 8 minutes. This duty cycle ensures the longevity and proper functioning of the motor by allowing it to cool down between operations. Avoid continuous operation beyond the recommended duty cycle.
Maintenance
To ensure the long-term performance and reliability of your Okin Refined-R motor actuator, periodic maintenance is recommended.
General Maintenance Tips:
- Keep Clean: Regularly inspect the motor and surrounding areas for dust, debris, or obstructions. Gently wipe clean with a dry cloth.
- Check Connections: Periodically inspect all electrical connections, especially the 2-pin plug, to ensure they are secure and free from damage.
- Lubrication: The motor 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 recliner's weight capacity, as this can strain the motor and reduce its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
If your recliner is not functioning correctly after motor replacement, follow these troubleshooting steps:
Common Issues and Solutions:
- No Movement/Power:
- First, troubleshoot the recliner's switch and power supply. Ensure the recliner is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet.
- Check the power cord for any visible damage.
- Verify that the 2-pin plug from the motor is securely connected to the power supply.
- Motor Not Responding:
- Ensure the motor model matches your recliner's requirements. While this motor can replace JLDQ.14.270.114F, slight differences might exist.
- Inspect the motor's wiring for any pinches, cuts, or loose connections.
- Unusual Noises:
- Check for any obstructions around the motor or linkage mechanisms that might be causing friction or binding.
- Ensure the motor is securely mounted and not vibrating against the frame.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact Okin customer support for further assistance.
