POWER TOTE P-100 LIFT SYSTEM OPERATION
The Power Tote P-100 Lift System is designed to lift an unoccupied wheelchair from the ground for the purpose of
easy vehicle transport.
WARNING! The Power Tote P-100 Lift System is intended for the transport of wheelchairs
only. The wheelchair must be unoccupied before operating the lift.
WARNING! Prevent vehicle damage! Do not exceed the load limits of your vehicle or hitch
