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.
