How to Adjust the Pitch of a La-Z-Boy Recliner

Each La-Z-Boy chair, whether a rocker recliner or a stationary recliner, offers three settings or positions. In the first position, your legs are just barely raised. In the second position, your legs are raised a little more and your back begins to recline. In the third position, your legs are fully extended and your back is more reclined. In this position, you can also adjust the angle of the seat by adjusting your body weight.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Sit in the chair and pull the handle on the right side of the chair counter-clockwise until the recliner is in the third position and your legs are fully extended.

   • 2

     Place one hand on each of the arm rests.

   • 3

     Push backwards against the back of the recliner to recline the seat further and raise the section of the seat under your knees.
