When moving a unit you may find it
necessary to remove and reinstall the chair back of your La-Z-Boy recliner. La-Z-Boy's locking and removable back
feature allows just that. You will need a slotted screwdriver to
complete this operation. For loose upholstered recliners separate
the back upholstery at the Velcro strip. To remove the seat back from the body of
the chair, locate the locking brackets on the back of the chair. Using a slotted screwdriver pull the
locking levers up. Stand behind the unit and gently rock
the back of the chair from side to side in an upward motion until the back is
separated from the base of the recliner. to reduce the risk of injury do not
operate the unit until the back is reinstalled and locked. To reinstall the chair back, lay the back
across the arms of the body Lift the back at a slight angle and
align the brackets on the back with the brackets on the body. The back
upholstery cover of the La-Z-Boy classics 3-position low-profile recliner and the 3-position high leg recliner
must be lifted to locate the back brackets one on each side of the inside back
fram. Lower the back onto the body making sure the back and body brackets
are completely engaged. To make sure the back is properly
installed with both sets of back and body brackets engaged stand behind the unit and twist the back
from side to side. If one or both sides moves out of
position the brackets are not engaged. Remove the
back and repeat the previous steps. If you are unable to install the back
properly contact your La-Z-Boy dealer for
assistance. Lock the brackets using a slotted screwdriver to push down the
locking levers. Do this for each bracket for proper
operation the brackets must be locked down. For
loose upholstered recliners reattach the back upholstery at the
Velcro strip.
