Refer to the label on your existing actuator for model number verification. If the model number or connector type differs, this replacement part may not be compatible.
3. Setup and Installation
Safety First: Always unplug your adjustable bed base from the power outlet before attempting any installation or replacement procedures to prevent electrical shock or injury.
Installation Steps:
- Disconnect Power: Unplug the adjustable bed base from the wall outlet.
- Locate Actuator: Identify the actuator responsible for the leg section movement. It is typically mounted to the bed frame.
- Remove Old Actuator:
- Carefully disconnect the 8-pin power cable from the control box.
- Unbolt or unclip the old actuator from its mounting points on the bed frame. Note the orientation for reinstallation.
- Install New Actuator:
- Position the new HJA35 actuator in the same orientation as the old one.
- Securely attach the actuator to the bed frame using the original bolts or clips. Ensure all connections are tight.
- Connect the 8-pin power cable of the new actuator to the corresponding port on the bed's control box. Ensure the connection is firm and fully seated.
- Test Functionality:
- Plug the adjustable bed base back into the power outlet.
- Using your bed's remote control, test the leg section's up and down movement to ensure the new actuator is functioning correctly and smoothly.
If you encounter any difficulties or are unsure about any step, consult a qualified technician or the bed base manufacturer's support.
4. Operating Instructions
The Richmat HJA35 Hall Leg Actuator operates in conjunction with your adjustable bed base's control system and remote. Once installed, its operation is seamless and integrated with the bed's standard functions.
Basic Operation:
- Use the designated buttons on your adjustable bed's remote control to raise or lower the leg section.
- The actuator will extend or retract, moving the bed frame to the desired position.
- Release the button when the desired position is reached.
Important: Do not exceed the weight capacity of your adjustable bed base. Avoid placing objects or body parts in the moving mechanisms of the bed while it is operating.
5. Maintenance
The Richmat HJA35 Hall Leg Actuator is designed for minimal maintenance. Regular inspection can help ensure its longevity and proper function.
Maintenance Tips:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the actuator and its mounting points for any signs of wear, loose bolts, or damage.
- Cable Check: Ensure the power cable is not pinched, frayed, or damaged. Keep it clear of moving parts.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the exterior of the actuator with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure no liquids enter the motor housing.
- Lubrication: The actuator is factory-lubricated and generally does not require additional lubrication. Do not attempt to lubricate internal components unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
Duty Cycle: Note the specified duty cycle of 10% (Max 2min ON/18min OFF). This means the actuator should not be operated continuously for more than 2 minutes, followed by an 18-minute rest period. Exceeding the duty cycle can lead to overheating and premature failure.
