Towing With The Vehicle - Husqvarna HUV4210-G Owner's Manual

Towing with the Vehicle

WARNING
• The cargo's center of gravity may affect the handling, steering, and braking of the vehicle. When the
vehicle is loaded, reduce speed and drive slowly in turns.
• To help prevent cargo from shifting and possibly injuring a passenger or affecting the vehicle's
handling, make sure cargo is well secured.
• Avoid top-heavy loads. The center of gravity of a load should never exceed 15 inches (38 cm) above
the bottom of the cargo bed.
• Unload cargo bed before raising vehicle with a lift, hoist, or jack.
When loading the vehicle, center and secure cargo as far forward as possible in the cargo bed. Do not overload the
vehicle. See the following chart for vehicle capacities.
Maximum payload capacity
(Cargo bed load plus gross trailer weight)
Maximum vehicle capacity (Cargo bed load, passengers, plus gross trailer
weight)
Trailer tongue weight
Maximum payload capacity must be reduced accordingly when any option or accessory is installed on the vehicle.
TOWING WITH THE VEHICLE
WARNING
• Do not tow a vehicle or trailer on public streets or highways.
• Normal vehicle operating speed should be reduced when towing.
• Extreme caution should be used when towing.
• Total vehicle capacity, including the tow vehicle load rating and the gross weight of the vehicle or
trailer being towed should not exceed the weight previously specified.
• Do not allow riders in the vehicle or trailer 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.
Because towing a vehicle or trailer can have an adverse effect on vehicle handling, be especially cautious when towing
with an HUV4210 vehicle. See the preceding chart for vehicle capacities.
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.
