4. Setup and Installation

Before beginning installation, ensure you have the necessary tools (e.g., wrenches, screwdrivers) and that the adjustable bed base is unplugged from the power outlet.

Pre-Installation Check:

• Verify Connector Type: Confirm that your existing bed base wiring uses an 8-pin connector. This actuator is only compatible with 8-pin systems.
• Match Specifications: Compare the specifications of the new HJA63 actuator with your original actuator to ensure compatibility in terms of stroke length, load capacity, and voltage.

Installation Steps:

1. Disconnect Power: Unplug the adjustable bed base from the wall outlet.
2. Locate Existing Actuator: Identify the actuator responsible for the head section movement.
3. Remove Old Actuator: Carefully detach the old actuator from its mounting points on the bed frame. This typically involves removing bolts or pins. Disconnect the 8-pin power/control cable.
4. Install New Actuator: Position the Richmat HJA63 actuator in the same location as the old one. Secure it using the appropriate bolts or pins. Ensure it is firmly attached and aligned correctly.
5. Connect Wiring: Plug the 8-pin connector of the new HJA63 actuator into the corresponding port on the bed base control box. Ensure the connection is snug and fully seated.
6. Test Functionality: Once the actuator is securely installed and connected, plug the bed base back into the power outlet. Use the bed's remote control to test the head section's up and down movement. Observe for smooth operation and listen for any unusual noises.

5. Operating Instructions

The Richmat HJA63 Actuator operates in conjunction with your adjustable bed base's existing control system. Once installed, its operation is integrated with the bed's remote control or wired control panel.

• Use the designated buttons on your bed's remote control (typically labeled 'Head Up' and 'Head Down') to adjust the position of the head section.
• The actuator will extend or retract, moving the head section to your desired angle. Release the button to stop movement.
• Avoid continuous operation beyond the specified duty cycle (Max. 2 minutes ON, then 18 minutes OFF) to prevent overheating and prolong the actuator's lifespan.

6. Maintenance

The Richmat HJA63 Actuator is designed for minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure its longevity and proper function.

• Cleaning: Keep the actuator free from dust and debris. Wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Connection Check: Periodically inspect the 8-pin connector and other wiring for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.
• Mounting Points: Ensure that all mounting bolts or pins remain tight and secure.
• Lubrication: The internal components are pre-lubricated and generally do not require additional lubrication. Do not apply lubricants to the exposed shaft unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
