The gas spring on your recliner provides counterbalancing forces, and is self-locking for 
infinite, precise positioning. Unlocking the gas spring is controlled by actuating the lever 
located on the padded push handle on the back of the recliner. When the lever is actuated 
it pulls on the cable which in turn pulls on a hinge, depressing a button at the end of the 
gas spring rod. If the gas spring does not unlock when the lever is actuated or if it remains 
permanently unlocked when the lever is actuated, the cable must be adjusted.

Adjusting Cable Tension
1.  Remove the one screw and cable clip which secure the 

cable to the upholstered back. Remove the gas spring 
from the recliner by disassembling the two ring cotter 
pins and the two clevis pins that secure the gas spring to 
the back / frame.

2.  Lower the back until it rests on the stop bars on the 

recliner frame. Loosen the lock nut on the gas spring.

3.  Hold the hinge assembly while turning the gas spring until 

the cable just becomes taut. Back off the gas spring an 
additional half turn.

Info: If the gas spring was not unlocking when the 
lever was actuated, the gas spring must be turned 
clockwise. If the gas spring was not locking when the 
lever was released, the gas spring must be turned 
counter-clockwise.
4.  Retighten the lock nut.
5.  Reassemble the gas spring to the back of the recliner by 

replacing the clevis pins, bridge pins, and re-attach cable 
to back of recliner with the screw and cable clip.

6.  Actuate the recliner in accordance with the operating 

instructions to verify correct adjustment.
