HI/LO PLUGS HD/FT PLUGS
8 PIN DIN 2 PRONG
NOTE: THE HI/LO PLUGS ARE DIFFERENT THAN
THE HEAD AND FOOT PLUGS AND, THEREFORE,
ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. THIS IS BECAUSE
THE HI/LO MOTORS ARE MEANT TO MOVE IN
TANDEM WHILE THE HEAD/FOOT MOTORS MOVE
INDEPENDENTLY.
f. ONE HI/LO MOTOR GOES FURTHER UP OR
DOWN - The motors have gone out of alignment
or you have replaced a Hi/Lo motor and they
need to be re-synchronized. See following page
for RE-ALIGNMENT instructions.
