La-Z-Time® Motion Upholstery and La-Z-Time
Motion-Modulars® Assembly Instructions
Motion-Modular units with metal base rails have one bracket in the back and one “U” bracket in the front on the right side (sitting) of modular units without right side arms, and two stud mounts with threaded studs on the left side (sitting) of modular units without left side arms (FIGURE 1).
Motion-Modular units with wood legs have one side mount bracket in the back and one “U” bracket in the front on the right side (sitting) of modular units without right side arms, and two threaded studs on the left side (sitting) of modular units without left side arms (FIGURE 2).
5.Use a T-30 torx driver to loosen the threaded studs to approximately 1”; this measurement may vary depending on the fabric and style (FIGURE 3). The threaded studs are located on the left side (sitting) of modular units without left side arms.
6.To start, place the units to be attached next to each other, about 2" apart. Position the unit with the threaded studs slightly behind the unit with the attachment brackets. Separate the fronts of the units to be connected, about 6" apart. Slide the rear of the unit with the threaded studs toward the unit with the attachment brackets, aligning the threaded studs to the rear bracket. Pull the unit with the threaded studs forward to engage the rear bracket.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of serious injury:
•The front of the unit must be raised to engage the front bracket. Please seek assistance if you are unable to lift at least 57 pounds.
•Keep feet clear of the unit when lowering into position.
NOTICE – To reduce the risk of product damage:
•Lift from the base rail. Do not lift from the upholstery or the bottom of the legrest.
7.Lift the front of the unit with the threaded stud approximately 3” off the ground, aligning it
to the unit with the attachment bracket. Gently lower the threaded stud into the front attachment bracket (FIGURE 4). Keep feet clear of the unit when lowering into position.
NOTE: Due to variations in upholstery and style, the threaded stud length may need to be adjusted to fit into the attachment brackets or control gaps between units. Loosen or tighten the threaded studs to provide adequate clearance.
8.Continue connecting the modular units until all have been securely joined.
NOTICE – To reduce the risk of product damage:
•Do not move the units while connected together. The purpose of the bracket system is to connect the units and prevent them from being separated while on the floor. The bracket system does not provide adequate structural support for the movement of connected units.
9.All modular units must be disconnected to safely move the modular group. To disconnect the units, lift up the left side (sitting) modular unit (with threaded studs) approximately 3” to clear the front attachment bracket, move the front of the unit over and return it to the floor. Slide the unit with the threaded studs backward to disengage the rear bracket.

Sleep Sofa Operating Instructions
DANGER – To reduce the risk of serious injury or death:
•Do not sit or lie on mattress of sleep sofa except when it is fully extended. Never close unit with person or animal inside.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury:
•Do not sit or place extra weight on the head area of the mattress. Excess weight can cause the sleep surface to tip up and back.
Setting Up Your Motion-Modular Sleep Sofa Bed
1.Remove all loose cushions. Grasp the handle located in the center of the deck and lift in an upward direction (FIGURE 1).
2.Step back while pulling the sleeper mechanism out to the first extended position. When the mechanism reaches this position the center support legs will rest on the floor (FIGURE 2).
3.Reach over and grasp the center of the one piece front leg. Pull up and lower the front leg to the floor (FIGURE 3).
Additional Feature
The sleep sofa features a television viewing headrest position. To raise the headrest, stand to the side of the sleep sofa and pull the head portion of the sleeper mechanism upward. Lift upward again to release the locking mechanism and lower the headrest to its original position (FIGURE 4).

Furniture Placement Guide
WARNING – To reduce the risk of serious injury:
•Provide a clear path for operation of the back and legrest. Place tables and area rugs at a distance to allow the legrest to fully extend without rubbing or interference.
Reclining Units
To place your reclining unit the proper distance from the wall, fully recline the unit and leave a minimum of 2" of space between the top of the back and the wall (FIGURE 1).
Place tables and area rugs at a distance to allow the legrest to fully extend without rubbing or interference. Interference with the legrest may cause it to not close completely (FIGURE 2). If the legrest is not closed completely, it may pop out unexpectedly and could cause injury. Some units have adjustable glides that can be raised to help prevent rubbing and interference with area rugs; see Assembly Instructions and Adjustment Instructions for details. Proper clearance for an area rug is demonstrated in FIGURE 3.
Make sure tables and other items are at a safe distance to avoid interference with the operation of the legrest. Improper placement of a table could cause the occupant to become trapped in the unit; this is demonstrated in FIGURE 4. There must be enough clearance for the legrest to be fully extended before closing.
