Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist
• General: All the parts should be in place and properly installed. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws are tight.
On gasoline vehicles check all hose clamps for tight fit as well as the starter belt for tightness.
• Safety and information decals: Check to ensure that all safety and information decals are in place. See Safety
Decal and Feature Identification on page 4.
• Tires: Check for proper tire pressure. Visually inspect tires for wear, damage, and proper inflation on a daily basis.
See Vehicle Specifications on page 48.
• Battery(ies): Check electrolyte to ensure that it is at its proper level ((Figure 20) or (Figure 25)). Check battery
posts. Wires should be tight and free of corrosion. On electric vehicles charge batteries fully before first use of
vehicle.
• Charger cord, plug, and receptacle (electric vehicles): Visually inspect for cracks, loose connections, and
frayed wiring. See Plug and Receptacle on page 40.
• Engine (gasoline vehicles): Check for proper engine oil level. See Engine Oil – Gasoline Vehicles on page 43.
• Fuel (gasoline vehicles): Check fuel level. See Fueling Instructions – Gasoline Vehicles on page 46. Check
fuel tank, lines, fuel cap, pump, fuel filters, and carburetor for fuel leakage.
• Exhaust system (gasoline vehicles): Check for leaks.
• Performance Inspection: Inspect as instructed. See Performance Inspection on page 21.
WARNING
• Be sure the plastic has been removed from the seat bottom before operating the vehicle. Failure to do
so may result in a fire, property damage, personal injury, or death.
• Performance Inspection: Inspect as instructed. See Performance Inspection on page 21.
PERFORMANCE INSPECTION
After you have familiarized yourself with the vehicle controls and have read and understood the driving instructions,
take the vehicle for a test drive.
Use the following checklist, in conjunction with the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist, as a guide to inspect the
vehicle and check daily for proper operation. Any problems should be corrected by a Husqvarna distributor/dealer or a
trained technician.
All Vehicles
• Forward/Reverse control: Check for proper operation. See Controls and Indicators on page 14.
• Brakes: Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully pressed under moderate pressure,
it should not go more than halfway to the floor, and vehicle should come to a smooth, straight stop. If the pedal
goes more than halfway to the floor, or if the vehicle swerves or fails to stop, have the brake system checked and
adjusted as required. Brake adjustment must be maintained so that the brake pedal cannot be pressed to the
floor under any circumstance.
• Park brake: When latched, the park brake should lock the wheels and hold the vehicle stationary (on an incline of
20% or less). It should release when either the accelerator or brake pedal is pressed.
• Reverse buzzer: The reverse buzzer should sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle or switch is in
the REVERSE position.
• Steering: The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• General: Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle’s ride and performance.
Have a Husqvarna distributor/dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.
