SOLUTION

SYMPTOM

CAUSE

The modular 

units will not 

join, or “Latch” 

together.

Modify the Adjustable Glide settings so that they 

are at the same height and the units are aligned.

 

 

To Lower

—Loosen the jam nut on the top 

of the modular bracket component, rotate 

the glide clockwise, tighten the bottom jam 

nut to the base rail and tighten the top jam 

nut down to the modular joining bracket 

component. Test the setting, repeat this 

procedure as necessary until the units are 

level and can be joined or “Latched.”

 

 

To Raise

—Loosen the jam nut on the top of 

the modular bracket component, rotate the 

glide counter‑clockwise, tighten the bottom 

jam nut to the base rail and tighten the top 

jam nut down to the modular joining bracket 

component. Test the setting, repeat this 

procedure as necessary until the units are 

level and can be joined or “Latched.”

Incorrect Adjustable Glide 

settings; units are not 

vertically aligned.

The Release 

Subassembly is 

difficult to pull 

and/or must be 

pulled through 

the entire stroke 

to release the 

mechanism. 

The mechanism 

appears to drag 

or operate slowly.

Sofas

—Reposition the mechanism to the outside 

set of holes on the Bottom Rail(s) to provide 

more clearance between the upholstered legrests. 

It may not be necessary to reposition the 

mechanism on both (front & rear) Bottom Rails.

Modulars

—Extend the length of the ¼‑20 X 1¼" 

Truss Head Screw(s) located in the Stud Mount(s) 

to provide ample clearance between units for 

mechanism operation.

The upholstered legrests 

are positioned too 

close together causing 

interference and rubbing 

on each other.

Hook the cable end of the Release Subassembly 

with the cable tube facing down, away from the 

seat. Assemble the Cable 

Return Spring with the looped 

end hooked to 

the Trip Lever 

and  the spring 

coils facing 

away from the 

mechanism.

The cable end of the 

Release Subassembly 

and/or the Cable Return 

Spring are installed upside 

down. 

Replace the Trip Lever.

Trip Lever is too tight in 

the side rail and does not 

rotate freely.

Faces downward,
away from the seat.

Cable Return Spring; Looped end of
spring hooks to trip lever and spring
coils face away.
