Setup and Installation
- Safety First: Before beginning installation, ensure the recliner or lift chair is unplugged from the power outlet to prevent electrical shock.
- Remove Old Switch: Carefully detach the old hand control switch from the armrest or side of the chair. Disconnect its 5-pin round plug from the motor connector. Note the orientation of the old switch for proper placement of the new unit.
- Prepare New Switch: The plastic cover of the new KDH136-001 switch may be separated from the main unit for easier installation. If it is attached, gently remove it.
- Connect New Switch: Locate the 5-pin round plug on the new switch's cable. Connect this plug to the corresponding motor connector on your recliner. The plug is designed with a 180-degree angle at the end to plug straight into the motor connector. Ensure a secure connection.
- Mount Switch: Position the new switch into the designated opening in the armrest or side of the chair. Secure it using appropriate fasteners (not included, typically reused from the old switch or provided with the chair).
- Reattach Cover: Once the switch is securely mounted and connected, reattach the plastic cover. Ensure it clicks into place firmly.
- Test Functionality: Plug the recliner back into the power outlet. Test all four buttons to ensure the chair's up and down functions operate correctly. Test the USB port with a compatible device.
Note: If the new switch does not function, double-check all connections and ensure the power supply to the recliner is active.
