Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to replace your existing linear actuator. Ensure the recliner is unplugged from the power source before beginning.
- Power Disconnection: Unplug the recliner from the wall outlet to ensure no power is supplied to the motor.
- Identify Existing Actuator: Locate the current linear actuator under your recliner. Note its mounting points and electrical connections.
- Verify Compatibility: Check the label on your existing actuator. This replacement motor is compatible with Kaidi Model KDYJT013-105 and KDYJT006-20. Ensure the stroke and minimum installation dimensions match your requirements.
- Disconnect Wires: Carefully disconnect the 2-pin power transformer connection and the 5-pin hand control plug from the old actuator.
- Remove Old Actuator: Detach the old actuator from its mounting brackets. This typically involves removing pins or bolts.
- Install New Actuator: Position the new KDYJT013-105 actuator in the same location as the old one. Secure it using the existing mounting hardware or the provided screw accessories.
- Connect Wires: Connect the 2-pin flat round power transformer plug and the 5-pin hand control plug to the new actuator. Ensure connections are firm and correctly oriented.
- Test Functionality: Plug the recliner back into the wall outlet. Carefully test the recliner's functions using the hand control to ensure the actuator operates smoothly and correctly.

Operating Instructions
Once installed, the linear actuator operates in conjunction with your recliner's hand control.
- Recline/Extend: Use the designated buttons on your recliner's hand control to extend or retract the linear actuator. This action will move the chair into the desired recline or upright position.
- Stop: Release the button on the hand control to stop the actuator at any point during its travel.
- Duty Cycle: Adhere to the specified duty cycle of 10% (Maximum 2 minutes ON / 18 minutes OFF). Avoid continuous operation for extended periods to prevent overheating and ensure the longevity of the motor.
Maintenance
The KDYJT013-105 linear actuator is designed for low maintenance. Regular checks can help ensure optimal performance.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the actuator, its mounting points, and all electrical connections for any signs of wear, damage, or loose wiring.
- Cleaning: Keep the actuator free from dust and debris. Wipe the exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the motor or electrical components.
- Lubrication: The internal components are pre-lubricated and generally do not require additional lubrication during the product's lifespan.
- Avoid Obstructions: Ensure no objects obstruct the actuator's movement path during operation. Clear any potential impediments immediately.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your linear actuator, refer to the table below for common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Actuator does not move | No power supply | Check if the recliner is securely plugged into a functional wall outlet. |
| Actuator does not move | Loose or incorrect wiring | Ensure the 2-pin power and 5-pin hand control connections are securely attached and correctly oriented to the actuator. |
| Actuator moves intermittently or stops unexpectedly | Overheating due to prolonged use | Allow the motor to cool down. Adhere to the 10% duty cycle (Max 2 minutes ON / 18 minutes OFF) to prevent overheating. |
| Actuator makes unusual noises | Obstruction in movement path or internal issue | Check for any physical obstructions preventing smooth movement. If noises persist, discontinue use and contact customer support. |
| Actuator does not fit the recliner | Incorrect model or dimensions | Verify that the model number (KDYJT013-105 or KDYJT006-20) and compare the stroke and minimum installation dimensions with your original part before purchase and installation. |
