6. Installation Guide

Installation of the Okin recliner motor is generally straightforward for individuals with basic mechanical aptitude. However, if you are unsure, it is recommended to seek professional assistance.

Required Tools:

• Socket wrench set
• Hex keys (Allen wrenches)
• Pliers (optional, for cable management)

Installation Steps:

1. Disconnect Power: Ensure the recliner is completely unplugged from the wall outlet.
2. Position Recliner: Carefully turn the recliner over or tilt it back to access the motor assembly.
3. Disconnect Old Motor: Disconnect the power supply and hand control cables from the old motor. Note their positions for re-connection.
4. Remove Old Motor: Using appropriate tools, unbolt the old motor from the recliner frame. Retain all existing bolts, nuts, and washers as the new unit typically does not include mounting hardware.
5. Install New Motor: Position the new Okin JLDQ.11.156.333A motor in the same location as the old one. Secure it to the recliner frame using the retained hardware. Ensure it is firmly attached.
6. Connect Cables: Connect the 5-pin round plug from the hand control to the corresponding port on the motor. Connect the 2-pin square plug from the power supply to its designated port. Ensure connections are snug.
7. Test Functionality: Carefully return the recliner to its upright position. Plug the recliner back into a power outlet. Test the hand control to ensure the motor operates smoothly through its full range of motion.
8. Final Check: Inspect all connections and mounting points to ensure everything is secure before regular use.

7. Operation

Once installed and connected, the Okin JLDQ.11.156.333A power recliner motor operates via the recliner's hand control. Pressing the appropriate buttons on the hand control will extend or retract the linear actuator, moving the recliner mechanism.

• Ensure the recliner is plugged into a functional power outlet.
• Use the hand control buttons to adjust the recliner to your desired position.
• Avoid continuous operation for more than 1 minute to prevent overheating. Allow an 8-minute rest period after 1 minute of continuous use.

8. Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your Okin recliner motor.

• Cleaning: Wipe clean the motor and surrounding areas with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure no liquids enter the motor housing.
• Inspection: Periodically check all electrical connections for looseness or damage. Inspect the motor's mounting bolts to ensure they remain tight.
• Lubrication: The motor is factory-lubricated and generally does not require additional lubrication. If you notice unusual friction or noise, consult a professional.
• Power Cord: Ensure the power cord is not pinched, cut, or damaged. Replace if necessary.

9. Troubleshooting Common Issues

If your recliner motor is not functioning as expected, follow these troubleshooting steps:

1. No Power:
   • Check if the recliner is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
   • Verify the power supply unit (transformer) is receiving power and its indicator light (if present) is on.
   • Inspect the power cord for any visible damage.
2. Motor Not Responding to Hand Control:
   • First, troubleshoot the hand control switch. Ensure its cable is securely connected to the motor.
   • If possible, test the hand control with a known working motor or test the motor with a known working hand control to isolate the issue.
   • Check the 5-pin round plug connection for any looseness or damage.
3. Motor Makes Noise but Does Not Move:
   • Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the recliner mechanism from moving.
   • Check if the motor's mounting bolts are too tight, causing binding.
   • Verify the motor's stroke is not fully extended or retracted and hitting a limit.
4. Intermittent Operation:
   • Check all connections for intermittent contact.
   • Ensure the motor is not overheating due to continuous use (refer to operation frequency).

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