Setup and Installation

This Okin refined motor is designed for easy installation. Before proceeding, ensure the new motor matches your existing recliner motor's brand, model, minimum install dimension, stroke, and plugs. This motor is a direct replacement for OKIN motor model JLDQ.12.157.333L and compatible with JLDQ.12.157.333D/E/F/G/H/I/J/K/O/P/Q.

1. Disconnect Power: Unplug the recliner or lift chair from the main power outlet.
2. Access Motor: Carefully turn the furniture over or access the motor compartment.
3. Remove Old Motor: Disconnect the existing motor's power plug and any other connectors. Unscrew the mounting bolts (typically 6 screws of the same size) that secure the motor to the frame. Gently remove the old motor.
4. Install New Motor: Position the new Okin JLDQ.12.157.333L motor in the same location as the old one. Align the mounting holes and secure the motor with the screws removed earlier. Ensure it is firmly attached.
5. Connect Wiring: Connect the 2-pin plug of the new motor to the corresponding power supply connector. Ensure the clip is securely fastened. Connect any other necessary wires (e.g., hand control).
6. Test Functionality: Once installed, carefully return the furniture to its upright position. Reconnect the power. Test the recliner's functions (e.g., recline, lift) to ensure the motor operates smoothly and quietly.

Operating Instructions

The Okin JLDQ.12.157.333L motor operates in conjunction with your recliner's existing control system (e.g., hand remote, buttons). Once installed and connected, the motor will respond to commands from the control unit to extend or retract the linear actuator, facilitating the reclining or lifting motion of your furniture.

• Ensure the recliner is connected to a stable power source.
• Use the hand control or integrated buttons to initiate movement.
• The motor has an operation frequency of "On 1 min/Off 8 min" to prevent overheating. Avoid continuous operation for extended periods.
• Do not force the recliner's movement manually if the motor is engaged.

Maintenance

The Okin JLDQ.12.157.333L motor is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. Regular checks can help ensure its longevity.

• Cleaning: Keep the motor and surrounding area free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the motor.
• Connections: Periodically check all electrical connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
• Moving Parts: Inspect the linear actuator rod for any obstructions or damage. Ensure smooth movement. No lubrication is typically required for this sealed unit.
• Cable Management: Ensure power cables are not pinched or tangled, which could lead to damage.
