Reclining Chair Assembly Instructions
The Assembly Instructions below are for chair backs having a loose upholstery cover with
fastening tape. Refer to the instructions on the previous pages if your chair back has upholstery
cover attached to all sides of the back frame.
WARNING
– To reduce the risk of injury:
• Do not operate the unit until the back is installed and locked.
Install the chair back
1. 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 (FIGURE 1).
• The back brackets may be located on the outside or inside of the back assembly.
2. Lower the back onto the body, making sure the back and body brackets are
completely engaged.
• For chairs with back brackets on the outside of the back assembly, stand behind
the unit and twist the back from side to side. If one or both sides move out of position
the brackets are not engaged (FIGURE 2). Remove the back and repeat the steps above.
• For chairs with back brackets on the inside of the back assembly, lift the back
upholstery cover to visually confirm that both sets of back and body brackets are
engaged (FIGURE 3).
• If you are unable to install the back properly contact your La-Z-Boy
for assistance.
3. Lock the brackets by using a screwdriver to push down the locking levers (FIGURE 4).
CAUTION
– To reduce the risk of minor injury:
• Once the back is installed, the outside back upholstery cover must be secured in place
at all times.
4. The outside back upholstery cover attaches to the body in different locations, depending
on the style.
• Pull the outside back upholstery cover down tight and press the fastening tape on
the back upholstery cover to the fastening tape on the body (FIGURE 5).
• Pull the outside back upholstery cover down tight and press the fastening tape on
the back upholstery cover to the fastening tape on the lower seat frame. Tuck the
sides in and loop the elastic strap behind the lower seat frame (FIGURE 6).
