Put a spst (on/0ff) switch in front of it and remember to turn it off before you try to change direction.
That would be annotated as "DPDT Center Off". Even Radio Shack should have them.

You can use 2 SPDT switches, or relays. Connect 1 pole to - Negative and the other pole to + Positive. The actuator wire goes to the center of each switch/relay. When both are in the same position, no motion, change the state of the switch or relay depending on the direction you want it to go.

Yes, but you have to use a proper news reader and ask in a coherent question.

Maybe a wireless winch or hoist control would work for you? They have forward, off and reverse functions.
Those are just for an example, I don't know if they are suitable for your application. jsw
