5. Setup and Installation
This Okin refined motor is designed for easy installation as a direct replacement. Before beginning, ensure you have the necessary tools (e.g., socket wrench set, hex keys) and that the new motor's specifications match your existing unit's requirements, especially regarding minimum install dimension, stroke, and plugs.
Installation Steps:
- Disconnect Power: Unplug the recliner or furniture from the power outlet.
- Access Motor: Carefully position the furniture to gain access to the existing motor. It may be helpful to take photos of the current wiring and mounting for reference.
- Remove Old Motor: Disconnect the 5-pin plug (for hand control) and the 2-pin plug (for power supply). Remove the bolts or screws securing the old motor to the furniture frame. Retain all mounting hardware as the new motor package does not include them.
- Install New Motor: Position the new Okin Betadrive motor in the same location as the old one. Secure it using the retained mounting hardware.
- Connect Wiring: Connect the 5-pin plug from the hand control to the corresponding port on the new motor. Connect the 2-pin plug from the power supply to its designated port. Ensure all connections are firm.
- Test Functionality: Once installed, carefully plug the furniture back into the power outlet. Test the recliner's functions (e.g., recline, lift) to ensure the motor operates correctly.
Note: While this motor is designed to replace several models, minor differences may exist. These differences should not affect functionality.
6. Operating Instructions
The Okin Betadrive motor functions as the power source for your reclining furniture. Its operation is controlled directly by the furniture's existing hand control or switch. Refer to your furniture's original user manual for specific instructions on how to operate its reclining and lifting features.
Ensure the motor is properly installed and connected to a stable power source before attempting to operate the furniture.
7. Maintenance
The Okin Betadrive motor is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the motor and its connections for any signs of wear, damage, or loose wiring.
- Keep Clean: Keep the motor free from dust, dirt, and debris. Use a dry cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the motor.
- Avoid Overload: Do not exceed the furniture's weight capacity or force the motor to operate beyond its intended limits.
- Proper Use: Adhere to the specified operation frequency (On 1 min / Off 8 min) to prevent overheating and extend motor life.
8. Troubleshooting
If your recliner is not functioning correctly after motor replacement, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Motor does not operate | No power supply | Check if the recliner is plugged into a working outlet. Verify the 2-pin power supply plug is securely connected to the motor. |
| Motor operates intermittently or incorrectly | Loose or faulty switch/hand control connection | Ensure the 5-pin plug from the hand control is firmly connected. Test the hand control for proper function. |
| Unusual noises during operation | Obstruction or misalignment | Inspect the motor and furniture mechanism for any obstructions. Ensure the motor is properly aligned and mounted. |
| Motor overheats | Excessive continuous operation | Adhere to the specified operation frequency (On 1 min / Off 8 min). Allow the motor to cool down between uses. |
