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

1. Disconnect Power: Unplug the recliner or lift chair from the wall outlet.
2. Position Chair: Carefully turn the chair onto its side or back to access the motor assembly.
3. Identify Connections: Note the connections of the existing motor to the power transformer and the hand control.

2. Removing the Old Actuator

1. Disconnect Cables: Carefully unplug the power cable (2-pin flat round) and the hand control cable (5-pin female) from the old motor.
2. 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.
3. Extract Actuator: Once disconnected and unmounted, carefully remove the old linear actuator from the chair frame.

Operating Instructions

Once the KDPT007-117 linear actuator is correctly installed and all connections are secure:

1. Restore Power: Plug the recliner or lift chair power cord back into a wall outlet.
2. Test Operation: Use the hand control to test the full range of motion of the recliner or lift chair.
3. 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.
