[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 402443, member: 256551"] Inside the actuator there will be a DC motor. Connecting a voltage across the motor terminals should make it move.Swapping the wires round should make it move the other way. There will be other connectors on the actuator for sensing its position, for testing you don't want to connect anything to those as it could fry the unit. The motor connectors/wires should be labelled M1 and M2 or something like that. If its a 36V motor, connecting 12V across it should still make it move, but very slowly. Don't connect to the wrong terminals though. [/QUOTE]
