BED LATCH AND PROP ROD
See General Warnings on page 8.
The bed latch (Figure 10) has an automatically engaging prop rod and prop rod track (Figure 11) as standard features.
To lift the bed, pull the bed latch handle toward the rear of the vehicle and lift the bed. The prop rod will come to rest in
one of the notches in the prop rod track. To close the bed, lift the bed so that the prop rod is no longer supported in one
of the track notches. Push the prop rod toward the front of the vehicle to free it from the track notch and gently lower
the bed. DO NOT drop the bed. See following DANGER, WARNING, and NOTE.
DANGER
• Use caution when working under bed. Be sure prop rod is secure. Otherwise the bed will fall, resulting
in severe personal injury or death.
WARNING
• For vehicles with cargo beds, remove all cargo before raising the bed or servicing the vehicle. If the
vehicle is equipped with a prop rod, ensure that it is securely engaged. Do not close bed until all
persons are clear of cargo bed area. Keep hands clear of all crush areas. Do not drop cargo bed;
lower gently and keep entire body clear. Failure to heed this warning could result in severe personal
injury or death.
NOTE: Husqvarna HUV 5420 DX vehicles are equipped with an automatically engaging prop rod (Figure 11), unless
equipped with the electric bed lift accessory.
