Adjusting the tilt – back tension springs on a La – Z – Boy recliner can enhance your comfort. Here are the steps:
1. Locate the Adjustment Mechanism
First, find the adjustment mechanism. On most La – Z – Boy recliners, it is usually found underneath the seat. Sometimes, you may need to turn the recliner upside down carefully to access it.
2. Understand the Spring Tension Settings
The adjustment mechanism typically has a few settings for different levels of tension. Some recliners have a simple dial or knob that can be turned to increase or decrease the tension. For instance, turning the dial clockwise may increase the tension, while turning it counterclockwise can decrease it.
3. Make the Adjustment
Once you have determined how your particular recliner’s adjustment works, make the desired adjustment. If you prefer more resistance when reclining back, increase the tension. If the recliner feels too stiff when tilting back, decrease the tension.
4. Test the Recliner
After making the adjustment, flip the recliner back to its normal position (if you turned it upside down) and test it. Sit in the recliner and recline to see if the tension is now at a level that suits you. If not, repeat the adjustment process until you achieve the comfort you want.
By following these steps, you can effectively adjust the tilt – back tension springs on your La – Z – Boy recliner.
