Adjustment Instructions for Positioning Stabilization Mechanism
WARNING: DO NOT lubricate the position stabilization mechanism assembly. The recliner
could fail to stabilize in position and cause severe personal injury.
1. Refer to illustration at right.
2. Turn the position stabilization handle
downward to the release position. Remove
the top clevis pin by removing the ring cotter
pin and sliding the clevis pin out of the
mechanism.
3. Slide the positioning plate upward so that you
can turn the square washer clockwise until it is
snug again.
4. Slide the positioning plate down over the
square washer and put the clevis pin in, but
do not put the ring cotter pin in. Rotate the
position stabilization handle upward to ensure
that the correct tension is on the positioning
plate. If the position stabilization handle is
still too loose, remove the clevis pin again
and repeat Step 2. Once the proper amount of
tension is on the positioning plate, slide the
positioning plate down over the square washer,
put the clevis pin back into place, and secure
with the ring cotter pin.
5. The position stabilization handle should engage at about the halfway point.
WARNING: Before use, ensure that clevis pin and ring cotter pin are secure.
