TRANSPORTING ON A TRAILER

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 17).
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 following NOTE.
NOTE: A two-car trailer should be rated at 2 x 1200 = 2400 lb. (2 x 544 = 1088 kg).
STORAGE – ELECTRIC VEHICLES
See General Warnings on page 10.
WARNING
• Turn the key switch to the OFF position, remove the key, and leave the Forward/Reverse handle or
switch in the NEUTRAL position during storage. This is to prevent unintentionally starting the vehicle
or a fire hazard. Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position.
• Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery. Frozen
batteries can explode.
CAUTION
• Batteries in a low state of charge will freeze at low temperatures.
• To avoid exposing electrical components to moisture and subsequent damage, do not use any type of
pressure washing or steam cleaning equipment to wash the vehicle.
