Parking the vehicle with a trailer on a hill should be avoided. If you must park on a hill, apply the brakes and
have someone chock the tires of the trailer. Brakes should be released to allow the chocks to absorb the load
of the trailer. After the tires have been chocked, engage the park brake.

TRANSPORTING ON A TRAILER

ý

WARNING

• For use on public roads, the trailer must meet all federal, state, and local requirements such

as taillights, brake lights, etc.

• Do not tow a Husqvarna vehicle behind a passenger vehicle or truck on a public road unless it

is on an approved trailer.

• The vehicle to be towed should be tied securely to the trailer, with the Forward/Reverse

handle or switch in the NEUTRAL position, the key switch in the OFF position, and the park
brake firmly pressed and locked.

• Do not allow people in the trailer or vehicle being towed.
• Avoid sudden starts, sudden stops, and tight turns when towing.
• Avoid stopping on a hill when towing. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts or rolling

backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning could cause the vehicle to
overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal injury.

• When towing on a trailer, normal road speed of the tow vehicle should be reduced.
• Because of the added length of the trailer, use caution when making turns.
• Remove the vehicle windshield and secure the seat bottom before transporting on a trailer.
• Gasoline vehicles only: Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position (Figure 16,

Page 30).

If the vehicle must be transported over long distances or on public highways, it should be transported on an
approved trailer that has the approved load rating of 1200 lb. (544 kg) per vehicle being transported. See fol-
lowing NOTE.

NOTE: A two-car trailer should be rated at 2 x 1200 = 2400 lb. (2 x 544 = 1088 kg).
