INTRODUCTION

The LRT, Lift-Rotate-Transfer, is a unique lift system that is designed to move a patient from one stationary point to another. It features a telescoping and pivoting mast that can be installed floor-to-ceiling or floor-to-wall. Models are available to work with ceiling heights from 7’6” up to 14’, custom 16’’. Additional ceiling joist mount options accommodate flat or cathedral ceilings, and even mobile home applications. The LRT also features a height- adjustable articulating arm with a reach of 8’, 10’ or 12’, or custom less than 12’.

The WARNING symbol indicates a potentially hazardous condition/situation. The safety warnings throughout this manual, and on the equipment, are for the protection of people and property. Failure by any system user to abide by safety warnings will result in a waiver of all liabilities, and loss of your warranty, and could result in equipment damage and or failure, property damage, risk of bodily injury, and or death.

WARNINGS

LRT RATED Maximum LOAD:
- 4’ and 5’ arm is rated at 440lbs. Including the portable lift motor, sling, and patient.
- 6’ arm is rated at 300lbs. Including the portable lift motor, sling, and patient.
During the onsite evaluation, the installer is responsible for choosing the proper anchoring method after first determining the structure is appropriate for supporting the lifetime use of the LRT.
Do not exceed Safe Working Load (SWL) on slings, lift motors, or scales, and follow their user instruction guides as well.
Have a licensed therapist or healthcare professional advise on the sling selection to ensure proper size, weight capacity, positioning, and functional requirements are met for the patient.
Before installing and using the LRT, review instructions, labels, and safety warnings.
Instruct all caregivers on the proper use of the LTR.
Only use the LRT after properly installed and anchored. Contractor installation is recommended.
Do not use until the articulating arm is correctly pitched and leveled.
Periodically inspect mounting hardware.
Only qualified technicians should perform repairs. Refer to your provider for assistance.
To avoid injury or voiding the warranty, never modify any portion of the LRT.
Observe and avoid all pinch points, and never remove safety stickers.
Verify travel without interference, obstruction, or safety hazards to patients and others.
If using Rotation stops, ensure they are tightened and limit the arm movement desired left and right.
Only use the LRT for its intended use of transferring an individual.
A trained assistant must maintain the articulation arm during and after use.
For LRT relocation, consult your dealer or a professional installer.

LRT Required Maintenance

Inspect the LRT before use to ensure it’s in good condition.
Maintain cleanliness of the LRT by regularly wiping it down.
Periodically checked, inspected, and tightened all elements of the LRT.
Avoid using the LRT if there are any signs of damage or instability.

Using A portable Lift

The LRT lift has a Swiveling Eyelet for connecting a wide range of portable motors. The Swiveling Eyelet reduces the risk of the Lift Motor Tape from binding or twisting, creating unsafe conditions and possible service issues.
Ensure the motor specifications work within the 300lbs or 440lbs operating limit of the specific LRT system being used.
