Motor Installation |
HAND CONTROL
The Competitor bed comes with a hand control that will illuminate when the bed is plugged into a grounded or polarized wall outlet, or with 9V battery (sold separately) installed in the hand control. The hand control will illuminate as long as the wall or battery has power. With this battery installed, the motor can be operated to return the sleep surface to the horizontal position in the event of
a power failure. |

battery clip on the motor. It is stored in the recess
under the motor cover. With this battery installed,
the motor can be operated in the event of a power
failure. |
