Operating the Recliner
The Soohow RC005 recliner chair offers adjustable comfort with a simple lever mechanism.
Reclining and Footrest Operation
- To recline the chair and extend the footrest, locate the lever on the side of the chair (typically on the right side). Pull the lever upwards.
- Lean back gently to achieve your desired reclining angle, between 110° and 160°. The chair offers multiple positions for reading, watching TV, or sleeping.
- To return to the upright position and retract the footrest, push the footrest down with your legs until it locks into place. Simultaneously, lean forward to bring the backrest upright.

This image details the key features of the Soohow Recliner Chair RC005, including its 110°-160° adjustable recline, convenient side pocket, extended footrest, soft cushion seat, and thickened armrests.
Side Pocket Usage

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your recliner chair.
Upholstery Care (Chenille Fabric)
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum the fabric regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and loose debris.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for chenille, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Follow the cleaner's instructions carefully.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Position your chair away from direct sun exposure or use window coverings.
Frame and Mechanism Care
- Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Avoid spilling liquids on the reclining mechanism. If a spill occurs, wipe it dry immediately.
- Do not apply excessive force to the reclining mechanism. Operate it smoothly.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your recliner, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Footrest is difficult to close or retract. | Mechanism stiffness; insufficient downward pressure. | Apply firm, consistent downward pressure with your legs on the footrest while leaning forward. Ensure no obstructions are blocking the mechanism. Regular use may help loosen the mechanism. |
| Armrests feel unstable or detach. | Velcro attachment is loose or worn. | Ensure the velcro on the armrests is securely fastened. Avoid putting excessive weight or pressure on the armrests when getting up or sitting down, as this can dislodge the velcro. |
| Chair makes unusual noises (squeaking, grinding). | Loose bolts; mechanism needs lubrication. | Check and tighten all visible bolts. If the noise persists, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts of the reclining mechanism (avoiding fabric). |
| Chair does not recline smoothly. | Obstruction in mechanism; lever issue. | Inspect the area around the reclining mechanism for any obstructions. Ensure the reclining lever is fully engaged when pulled. |
If these solutions do not resolve the issue, please contact Soohow customer support for further assistance.
