- Minimum install dimension: 48 mm (1.89 inches).
- Speed: 36 mm/s.
- Maximum load capacity: 1500 N.
Important: Always verify the model number and connector types of your existing motor against the specifications of this replacement motor (KDPT007-117) before proceeding with installation.
Safety Information
- Disconnect power to the recliner or lift chair before attempting any installation or maintenance.
- Ensure all connections are secure and correctly oriented to prevent electrical hazards or malfunction.
- Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 1500 N (approximately 152 kg or 335 lbs).
- Use only with compatible power supplies and hand controls.
- Keep hands and loose clothing clear of moving parts during operation.
Setup and Installation
This section outlines the general steps for replacing a linear actuator. Specific chair designs may vary, so refer to your chair's original manual if available.
1. Preparation
- Disconnect Power: Unplug the recliner or lift chair from the wall outlet.
- Position Chair: Carefully turn the chair onto its side or back to access the motor assembly.
- Identify Connections: Note the connections of the existing motor to the power transformer and the hand control.
2. Removing the Old Actuator
- Disconnect Cables: Carefully unplug the power cable (2-pin flat round) and the hand control cable (5-pin female) from the old motor.
- Remove Mounting Pins: Locate the mounting pins or bolts that secure the actuator to the chair frame. Remove these pins/bolts. Keep them for reinstallation.
- Extract Actuator: Once disconnected and unmounted, carefully remove the old linear actuator from the chair frame.

3. Installing the New Actuator
- Position New Actuator: Place the new KDPT007-117 linear actuator into the mounting brackets on the chair frame.
- Secure Mounting Pins: Reinsert the mounting pins or bolts to secure the actuator firmly in place. Ensure they are tight but do not overtighten.
- Connect Cables:
- Connect the 2-pin flat round power cable from the power transformer to the corresponding port on the new motor.
- Connect the 5-pin female hand control cable to the corresponding port on the new motor.
- Cable Management: Ensure all cables are routed safely and are not pinched or in the way of moving parts.

Operating Instructions
Once the KDPT007-117 linear actuator is correctly installed and all connections are secure:
- Restore Power: Plug the recliner or lift chair power cord back into a wall outlet.
- Test Operation: Use the hand control to test the full range of motion of the recliner or lift chair.
- Smooth Movement: The actuator should extend and retract smoothly without unusual noises or jerky movements. If any issues arise, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
Duty Cycle: The motor has a maximum duty cycle of 2 minutes ON and 18 minutes OFF (10%). Avoid continuous operation for extended periods to prevent overheating and prolong motor life.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and proper function of your linear actuator.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the actuator with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspect Cables: Regularly check all power and control cables for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Replace damaged cables immediately.
- Check Connections: Ensure all electrical connections remain secure and free from corrosion.
- Lubrication: The internal components of the actuator are factory-lubricated and generally do not require additional lubrication. Do not attempt to open the motor housing.
- Mounting Points: Verify that the actuator's mounting pins or bolts are secure and not loose.
