Sounds like the actuator to me.  I've replaced 2 on my old, comfortable 
chair.  If your chair is still under warranty having it replaced shouldn't be 
an issue.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Tilt Squeal
 


 
After I tilt back, as I am coming back up, my chair just squeals loudly. My 
helper tried spraying all the moving areas with WD40, but it made no 
difference. She said the noise was coming from the tilt motor. There is no way 
to get inside it to spray. Do you think it needs lubed some how, or could it be 
battery related? I know my ceiling lift squeals just like that when it's 
battery is going dead. But my chair is not dead. Though I know the chair has 2 
batteries. Not sure if 1 battery is for the driving and 1 for the tilt and 
reclining system. Or if they drain from both batteries together at the same 
time.
 
Do you think I need a new tilt motor or new batteries?
If it's batteries, it would probably cost me less to buy them myself at he 
battery store.
 
 
Thanks, Greg
