Manually Charging the Battery

Battery in Platform
To manually charge a battery inside the platform, push the platform backwards, with E-STOP
engaged, so that the rear of the platform slides over the contacts of the docking station.
There is about a 10-second delay between when the platform is in position and when the char-
ging LED turns on.
NOTE: You will need to press and hold the brake release button before moving the
platform.
NOTE: If you push the platform too far onto the docking station, it will not charge.
Make sure that the yellow charge light comes on and stays on.
Standalone Battery
The battery can be charged, outside of the platform, by using the connector on the left side of
the docking station (viewed from the front) with the provided charging cable. This will most
likely be used for charging a spare battery, while a second battery is still in the platform, and
the platform is in use. Some users choose to manually charge a spare battery, and swap that
for the battery inside the platform.
There is about a 10-second delay between when you connect the battery cable and when the
charging LED turns on.
NOTE: The docking station cannot charge a platform and a separate battery at the
same time. If a platform is on the station, the power to the manual charge connector
is cut off.
