Setup and Installation
This motor is designed for straightforward replacement. Before beginning, ensure you have the necessary tools (e.g., screwdriver) and that the recliner is disconnected from all power sources.
- Verify Compatibility: Double-check that your existing motor is an Okin JLDQ.12.157.333W model. This is crucial for proper fit and function.
- Disconnect Power: Unplug the recliner from the wall outlet. If it has a battery backup, disconnect that as well.
- Access Motor: Carefully position the recliner to access the underside where the motor is located. This may involve tilting the chair or laying it on its side.
- Disconnect Old Motor:
- Unplug all connectors from the old motor (power, hand control, slave motors if present).
- Note the orientation and connection points for reassembly.
- Remove Old Motor: Unscrew any mounting bolts or screws securing the old motor to the recliner frame. Typically, there are 6 screws of the same size. Carefully remove the old motor.
- Install New Motor:
- Position the new Okin JLDQ.12.157.333W motor in the same location as the old one.
- Secure it using the original mounting hardware. Ensure it is firmly attached and aligned.
- Connect New Motor:
- Connect the 7-pin round plug to the hand control.
- Connect the 2-pin square plug to the power supply.
- Connect any 2-pin slave motor sockets if your recliner uses them.
- Ensure all connections are secure and properly seated.
- Test Functionality: Once all connections are made, carefully plug the recliner back into the power outlet. Test the recliner's functions (recline, lift) using the hand control to ensure the motor operates correctly and smoothly.
Operation
The Okin JLDQ.12.157.333W motor actuator operates in conjunction with your recliner's existing hand control unit and power supply. Once installed, the motor will respond to commands from the hand control to extend or retract, facilitating the reclining or lifting motion of the chair.
- Ensure the recliner is connected to a stable power source.
- Use the hand control buttons to initiate movement.
- Avoid placing excessive weight or obstructions on the footrest or backrest during operation.
- Observe the duty cycle: The motor is designed for intermittent operation (1 minute ON / 8 minutes OFF). Continuous operation beyond this limit may lead to overheating and damage.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance can extend the lifespan of your motor actuator.
- Cleaning: Keep the motor and surrounding area free from dust, dirt, and debris. Use a dry cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the motor.
- Inspections: Periodically inspect the wiring and connections for any signs of wear, fraying, or loose connections. Ensure all mounting screws remain tight.
- Lubrication: The motor is generally maintenance-free regarding internal lubrication. Do not attempt to lubricate internal components unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
- Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the maximum weight recommendation of 650 pounds for the recliner.
Troubleshooting
If your recliner is not functioning correctly after motor replacement, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Motor does not respond / Recliner does not move. |
|
|
| Motor makes noise but does not move. |
