I would call Stan at the factory about a new motor. His number is on the web
site.  But with regard to your cutting the strap, did you try to turn the
motor manually? I wondered what would happen if my electric lift didn't work
-- especially if the batteries were dead -- and I looked at the motor and
discovered there was a place on the end that could be turned manually.
