Reclining Tension

Adjustment Instructions:

– To reduce the risk of injury.

• This unit is equipped with a tension adjustment feature for the reclining

mechanism that is preset at the factory. The tension setting can be changed for your personal preference. To avoid tip over and insure stability, do not operate the unit with the tension adjustment wing nuts completely loosened (see Reclining Tension Adjustment Instructions).

CAUTION – To reduce the risk of damage

• Make sure the legrest on each unit is closed before tilting forward and adjusting the tension.

• Do not completely tighten the wing nuts. The tension springs should not be completely compressed after making adjustments. If this occurs, the wing nuts must be loosened a minimum of

⁄2-turn to avoid damage to

the spring tension assembly.

• Do not completely loosen the wing nuts. The spring should not slide on the bolt after making adjustments. If the spring slides on the bolt, tighten the wing nut clockwise a minimum of

⁄2-turn after the spring no

longer slides on the bolt.

• Adjust both wing nuts equally.

Reclining Tension Adjustment Instructions:

You can adjust the tension of the reclining mechanism to customize the reclining action for your personal preference and individual size.

1. Gently tilt the reclining chair or sofa forward to rest on its arms and top of the back. Locate the wing nuts, one on each side, toward the back of the recliner under each reclining seat (F

IGURE 1 - only one side shown).

2. Adjust the tension by turning the wing nuts in

⁄4-turn increments until the

desired setting is reached.

• A taller or heavier person may choose to increase the reclining tension by tightening the wing nuts clockwise.

• A smaller person may choose to decrease the reclining tension by loosening the wing nuts counterclockwise.

3. Return the reclining chair or sofa to the upright position. Test the new setting. Make additional adjustments if needed following these steps.

WARNING

Reclining Sofa Glide

Adjustment Instructions:

Place tables and area rugs at a distance to allow the legrest to fully extend without rubbing or interference.

Glide Adjustment Instructions:

Make sure the glides are adjusted to a height that provides a clear path for operation of the legrest.

Each glide is attached to the base rail by one jam nut and one lock washer on top of the base rail and one jam nut on the bottom of the base rail (F

IGURE 1).

1. To extend the glide, loosen the upper jam nut by rotating clockwise. Turn the lower jam nut clockwise to the desired height (F
