Do you have a question about the 4250i and is the answer not in the manual?

Hello, I purchased 4 gen 5 4250 actuators from a company called Trak Racer. Each actuator has a diagram showing the position they should be installed however, none of the diagrams I have show a mark indicating where they should be properly placed. Does it matter or am I in trouble. Without a mark on any of the diagrams I have no idea where to install them. I am using them for a race simulation cockpit so I need to place them front left/right and back left/right.
Lastly, I noticed each actuator has a voltage switch (120v and 230v). I live in the US so I need them on 120v however, I'm not sure which way the switch should be flipped to choose the correct voltage. Can you send me an image or explanation so I know that I have the voltage switch on the correct (120v) setting.
Thanks for your time.

To install the D-Box 4250i actuators in a race simulation cockpit:
1. Position the Actuators: Place the four actuators in their designated positions: - Front Right: Port A (D) - Front Left: Port B (G) - Rear Left: Port C (J) - Rear Right: Port D (M)
2. Mounting: - Attach the actuators to the rig using mounting brackets. - Secure them with screws to ensure stability. - Ensure the actuators are aligned correctly for proper motion feedback.
3. Connection: - Connect the actuators to the Actuator Control Module (ACM) using Cat 5 cables. - Ensure each actuator is plugged into its corresponding port.
4. Configuration: - In the software, select four actuators and enable roll, pitch, and heave. - Apply the configuration and wait for the system to load.
To set the voltage switch to 120V: - Locate the voltage selector at the bottom of the control electronics. - Switch it to 120V if using in regions with 120V power supply (e.g., North America).
