3. Installation Guide

Before beginning installation, ensure that the new actuator is compatible with your recliner's frame. Different actuators may have varying minimum installation dimensions, stroke lengths, and plug types. Verify that the model number of this Okin actuator matches or is a compatible replacement for your existing motor.

Installation Steps:

1. Disconnect Power: Always unplug your recliner from the main power supply before attempting any installation or maintenance.
2. Remove Old Actuator: Carefully detach the old actuator from the recliner frame. Note how it was mounted and connected for reference.
3. Mount New Actuator: Secure the Okin JLDQ-10 / JLDQ.10.435.250H actuator to the recliner frame using the appropriate mounting points. Ensure it is firmly attached and aligned correctly.
4. Connect Plugs:
   • Connect the 5-pin round plug to the switch hand control.
   • Connect the 2-pin square plug with the clip to the power supply.
5. Verify Connections: Double-check all connections to ensure they are secure and correctly seated.
6. Test Functionality: Plug the recliner back into the power supply and test the actuator's movement using the hand control. Ensure smooth operation through its full range of motion.

This image illustrates the two types of connectors on the Okin recliner actuator motor: a 5-pin round plug for the switch hand control and a 2-pin square plug with a clip for the power supply.

4. Operation

Once installed and connected to a power source, the Okin JLDQ-10 / JLDQ.10.435.250H actuator operates in conjunction with your recliner's hand control. Use the buttons on your hand control to extend or retract the recliner mechanism. The motor is designed for a duty cycle of 1 minute ON and 8 minutes OFF, meaning it should not be operated continuously for more than one minute at a time to prevent overheating and ensure longevity.

5. Maintenance

The Okin recliner actuator is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. To ensure optimal performance and extend its lifespan:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the motor and its connections for any signs of wear, loose wires, or damage.
• Cleaning: Keep the motor free from dust and debris. Use a dry cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the motor.
• Lubrication: The internal components are pre-lubricated. Do not attempt to lubricate the motor unless specifically instructed by a qualified technician.
• Avoid Overload: Do not exceed the specified load capacity of 1000N (push and pull force).

6. Troubleshooting

If your recliner is not operating correctly after installing the Okin actuator, follow these troubleshooting steps:

1. Check Power Supply: Ensure the recliner is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet. Verify that the power supply unit is functioning correctly.
2. Inspect Hand Control: Test the hand control switch. Sometimes, the issue may lie with the control unit rather than the motor itself.
3. Verify Motor Connections: Confirm that both the 5-pin round plug (for the hand control) and the 2-pin square plug (for power) are securely connected to the actuator.
4. Confirm Compatibility: Re-check the model number of your original motor against the Okin JLDQ-10 / JLDQ.10.435.250H to ensure it is a compatible replacement. Pay close attention to the minimum install dimension, stroke, and plug types.
5. Physical Obstructions: Inspect the recliner mechanism for any obstructions that might be preventing the actuator from moving freely.
6. Motor Noise/Movement: Listen for any unusual noises from the motor. If the motor makes noise but does not move, there might be a mechanical issue or an obstruction. If there is no noise, check electrical connections more thoroughly.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact customer support for further assistance.
