Urgent: How can I move a disabled Wave? / How to manually release the parking brake?

I have a couple of Wave 50-118s that are non-functional and I have no time to get them working.

We are moving out of a warehouse this weekend, and we need to remove these machines.

I see in the Operator's Manual that there is a switch on the pull-down access panel on the front of the machines which can be used to put them in "Push" mode, and this is supposed to release the parking brake.

However, this appears to be an electronic switch and only seems to work if the unit is powered on. Neither of these units can power on, and - again - I don't have time to figure out how to power them on.

Surely there must be a way to manually release the parking brake so that these can be pushed?

The brakes are electric so you'll need to figure out a way to power the units. Two 12v car batteries wired in series would work. Unless you have another forklift available and can lift them.

According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
