Setup and Installation

This section outlines the general steps for replacing an existing recliner motor. Always refer to your recliner's specific manual for detailed disassembly and assembly instructions.

1. Disconnect Power: Unplug the recliner from the wall outlet to ensure no power is supplied to the motor or controls.
2. Access the Motor: Carefully turn the recliner over or tilt it to gain access to the underside where the motor is located. You may need to remove fabric covers or panels.
3. Identify Connections: Note the connections of the existing motor. Typically, there will be a power connection from the transformer and a control connection from the hand remote.
4. Disconnect Old Motor: Disconnect the 2-pin power plug and the 5-pin hand control plug from the old motor.
5. Remove Old Motor: Unbolt or unclip the old motor from the recliner frame. Pay attention to how it is mounted.
6. Install New Motor: Position the new Okin JLDQ.18.137.333D01 motor in the same location as the old one. Secure it using the existing bolts or clips. Ensure it is firmly attached.
7. Connect New Motor:
   • Connect the 2-pin flat round male plug from the power transformer to the corresponding port on the new motor.
   • Connect the 5-pin female plug from the hand control to the corresponding port on the new motor.
8. Cable Management: Route all cables safely, ensuring they are not pinched or in the way of moving parts. Use cable ties if necessary.
9. Restore Power: Once all connections are secure and the motor is properly mounted, plug the recliner back into the wall outlet.
10. Test Operation: Use the hand control to test the recliner's functions (recline, lift). Ensure smooth and correct movement.

Note: Before replacing the motor, always troubleshoot the switch and power supply first. Verify that the new motor's plug types match your recliner's connections.

Operating Instructions

After successful installation, operate your recliner using the existing hand control unit. The Okin JLDQ.18.137.333D01 motor will respond to the commands from your hand control to adjust the recliner's position.

• Press and hold the appropriate button on your hand control to recline or lift the chair.
• Release the button when the desired position is reached.
• Avoid continuous operation for extended periods. The motor has a duty cycle of 1 minute ON / 8 minutes OFF to prevent overheating.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your Okin motor.

• Cleaning: Keep the motor and surrounding area free from dust and debris. Use a dry cloth to wipe down the motor housing. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the motor.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all cables and connections for signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Ensure all mounting bolts are tight.
• Lubrication: The linear actuator rod is typically pre-lubricated. If you notice stiffness or unusual noise, a light application of silicone-based lubricant (avoid petroleum-based products) to the moving rod may be beneficial, but consult a professional if unsure.
• Duty Cycle Adherence: Respect the motor's duty cycle (1 minute ON / 8 minutes OFF) to prevent overheating and premature wear.
