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.

For assistance with the portable motor, please contact your dealer/product
provider or the lift manufacturer, as they handle motor service and technical
inquiries. EMR is unable to offer technical or warranty support for the
portable motor.
