3.1 Transport and Storage
The containers must always be shipped and stored in an upright position in a clean, dry area
that is free from condensation. Do not lay the containers on their sides or any other non-
upright position.
LD Platform Cart Transporter
The LD Platform Cart Transporter system, which includes a cart, is shipped in one crate, along
with the docking station, joystick, and all components except for the battery.
The system must be shipped and stored in a temperature-controlled environment, from -20 to
60°C (-4 to 140°F). The recommended humidity range is 5% to 95%, non-condensing. It should
be shipped and stored in the supplied shipping crate, which is designed to prevent damage
from normal shock and vibration. You should protect the crate from excessive shock and vibra-
tion.
The transporter alone weighs 81 kg (179 lb).
The crate for the transporter measures 1257 x 1149 x 1645 mm (49.50 x 45.25 x 64.75 inches),
and weighs 129 kg (284 lb). The weight, as shipped, is 230 kg (507 lb).
Battery
NOTE:
If you purchased spare batteries, this section applies to them, also.
The battery is shipped in a separate carton, not inside the platform or platform crate.
Storage Requirements
If the battery needs to be stored, the manufacturer recommends:
l
+5 to 45°C (41 to 113°F) for up to a month
l
20 to 25°C (68 to 77°F) for up to a year
The battery should start storage fully-charged and upright, in a dry location. If storing the bat-
tery for an extended period, recharge the battery periodically to avoid total discharge, which
would damage the battery. Fully recharging a battery every six months is sufficient to keep it
charged enough to avoid damage.
Maintenance
Every six months:
l
Inspect the battery for damage or leaks.
l
Place the battery on a charger and allow to fully balance (battery shows all solid LEDs
when fully balanced). Fully recharging a battery every six months is sufficient to keep it
charged enough to avoid damage.
Standalone Cart
Carts can be purchased as an option, if you need more carts than transporters.
The cart box measures 1092 x 635 x 711 mm (43 x 25 x 28 inches). Weights are listed in the fol-
lowing table.
