Troubleshooting

What if my Reclining Seat is not reclining?

Ensure Power Cord is plugged in securely at both ends to a power source and the Reclining Seat Mechanism. If plugged in correctly and there is still no motion when pressing the buttons on your remote, ensure your remote is charged.

What if I lose power while reclined?

If this happens, do not attempt to force the Footrest down. Do your best to exit the Reclining Seat safely and wait until power is restored to the Reclining Seat to retract the Footrest.

Why is my Clamp too tight or too loose?

The Reclining Seat Clamp comes with a Thumb Screw that is made specifically for connecting your Reclining Seat Frame to a Sactionals Side. If you used a non-Reclining Seat Clamp, it may wiggle and fall off. Clamps should not be used to connect Reclining Seat to adjacent Sactionals Seats or Reclining Seats. Only Shoes should be used. If your Clamp is too tight, refer to the videos on our how-to guide for tips on removal.

What if I drop something (like the Remote or a phone) inside the Reclining Seat Mechanism?

If this happens, make sure to remove the Power Cord from the wall before retrieving the item. Do not operate your Reclining Seat until it has been removed.

What if my Reclining Seat starts squeaking, rattling, or not functioning properly?

Check to make sure you have assembled the Reclining Seat correctly and that all attachments, latches, and locks are secured properly. Check power cord to ensure there is no exposed wiring. Check to make sure Reclining Seat Mechanism and Seat Frame are level and properly placed in Shoes and clamped together.

What if my Seat Cushion Cover doesn’t fit?

Ensure you are using the Reclining Seat Cover by locating the “RECLINING SEAT” woven label on the bottom of the Cover.

What if my Seat Frame Lid doesn’t fit?

If your Seat Frame Lid is not locking into place, ensure Lid is properly positioned on the Reclining Seat Mechanism hooks, and that there is nothing obstructing the lock on the front side of the Lid.

Why doesn’t my Reclining Seat Mechanism Fit into the Reclining Seat Frame?

This may happen if your Reclining Seat Frame is not properly installed. To ensure your Frame is assembled properly, check that all pieces are properly connected and latches are secured.

Why did my Footrest stop retracting and extend back out?

Your Reclining Seat is equipped with added safety features including a sensor within the Mechanism to avoid entrapment. If anything is obstructing the Footrest while retracting, motion will reverse and the Remote will beep while flashing red. Remove all obstructions then resume normal operation.

Before you start using your Reclining Seat(s), be sure to read all instructions.
