3.4 Unpacking Considerations
Battery Unpacking
The battery ships in a separate crate, and not inside the platform. The battery crate measures
1118 x 483 x 470 mm, and weighs 101 kg. Locate the crate that contains the battery before con-
tinuing. The following figure displays the battery crate.
Effective April 1, 2016, IATA regulations (UN 3480, PI 965) require that air-shipped lithium ion
batteries must be transported at a state of charge not exceeding 30%. To avoid total discharge,
fully charge the battery immediately upon receipt. (The battery might arrive fully charged if it
is not shipped by air.)
NOTE: After receiving the battery, check its state of charge by pressing and hold-
ing in the push-button on the battery indicator. If the battery is in a low charge
state, you must immediately charge to a full charge to avoid discharging the bat-
tery below a usable state, which would require battery replacement. For inform-
ation on the battery indicator, see: Battery Indicators and Controls on page 184.
WARNING: PERSONALINJURYRISK
Use safe lifting practices when removing or installing the battery.
IMPORTANT: The battery weighs 68 kg. There must be at least 3 persons lifting
the battery.
