Check compatibility before ordering

Compare the full KDYJT018-424 model number and MOT-AC-61 reference with your original label. Also check stroke, retracted mounting distance, mounting ends, connector shape, contact layout and wiring. A shared KDYJT018 family number or similar-looking motor does not establish interchangeability.

This listing is for the 424 model. Do not assume it replaces KDYJT018-425 or another suffix without checking the installation. Contact CouchGuard with clear photos of your original label, mounting ends and plugs if you need help selecting the part.

Installation and use

The actuator is supplied with the attached connection cable shown. Disconnect mains and backup power before replacing it, support the mechanism securely and keep hands clear of pinch points. Match connections without forcing plugs and route cables away from moving parts. Use a qualified repairer if unsure.

Observe the labelled duty cycle and allow the required rest period. Do not open the actuator housing; its label cautions against opening by unauthorised personnel. Power-supply, switch and wiring faults can also cause a recliner to stop moving.

Before You Buy a Replacement Part

Replacement parts can look similar while having different model numbers, dimensions, connectors or mounting points. Before ordering:

• Check the original part for a manufacturer label, model number or part number.
• Compare the connector type, dimensions and mounting points with the product listing.
• Check the product description and compatibility guidance carefully.
• Contact CouchGuard with clear photos if you are unsure which part you need.

Additional Checks for Electrical Parts

• Check that the green light on the power supply is on.
• Check the leads and connections for visible damage.
