Continue with the following tension adjustments after product assembly is complete.
Reclining Tension Adjustment Instructions
1. Stand beside the unoccupied unit and pull the release handle to extend the
legrest. Make sure not to lean or put pressure on the extended legrest, as it
will close. From under the legrest, lift the mechanism cover to access the
reclining tension adjustment wing nuts. The tension wing nuts are located
toward the front of the mechanism, one on each side (F IGURE 1). The wing
nuts located toward the back of the mechanism are fasteners and do not
affect tension.
2. Adjust the reclining tension by turning the wing nuts in 1 ⁄ 4 -turn increments until
the desired setting is reached. Adjust both wing nuts equally.
• A taller or heavier person may choose to increase the amount of tension
by tightening the wing nuts clockwise.
• A smaller person may choose to decrease the amount of tension by
loosening the wing nuts counterclockwise.
3. Close the legrest. Test the new reclining tension setting and make adjustments
if needed.
4. Repeat these instructions to customize each reclining seat in your home
theater group.
- To reduce the risk of injur y:
• This unit is equipped with a tension adjustment feature for the
reclining mechanism that is preset at the factor y. 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.
• Use of this product requires adequate strength to bring the back
upright and close the legrest. Selecting the maximum tension settings
could make bringing the back upright and closing the legrest difficult.
• To safely exit the unit and prevent a tripping hazard bring the back
upright and close the legrest.

WARNING
- To reduce the product damage:
• 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
1 ⁄ 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
1 ⁄ 2 -turn after the spring
no longer slides on the bolt.
• Adjust both wing nuts equally.
