Driving Instructions - Husqvarna HUV4210-G Owner's Manual

Driving Instructions

Electric Vehicles
• Accelerator: With the key switch in the ON position and the Forward/Reverse switch in the FORWARD position, as
the accelerator pedal is pressed, the motor should start and the vehicle should accelerate smoothly to full speed.
When the pedal is released it should return to the original position and the motor should rotate freely or go into motor
braking mode. See Pedal Up Motor Braking below. All Husqvarna vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse.
• Walk-Away Braking: With the vehicle parked on level ground and the park brake disengaged, place the Tow/Run
switch in the RUN position and attempt to push the vehicle. Motor braking should engage and cause resistance to
rolling (moving at no more than 1 to 3 mph) (1.5 to 4.8 km/h) with the Forward/Reverse switch in any position.
When walk-away braking is engaged, the reverse buzzer should emit a distinct pattern of beeps. See following
WARNING.
WARNING
• Walk-away braking will not limit vehicle speed to 1 mph (1.6 km/h) on very steep grades. Do not
operate vehicle on slopes exceeding 20% grades.
• Pedal Up Motor Braking (adjustable on IQ System vehicles): Accelerate the vehicle to full speed and then
release the accelerator pedal. Motor braking should quickly and smoothly slow the vehicle to approximately 11 mph
(17.7 km/h). Motor braking will disengage when vehicle slows to 11 mph (17.7 km/h). This feature is adjustable for
IQ System vehicles only. Contact your local Husqvarna dealer/distributor to inquire about this adjustable feature.
• Pedal Down Motor Braking: Accelerate down an incline with the accelerator pedal pressed. When the vehicle
reaches maximum programmed speed, motor braking should engage and limit the vehicle to its maximum
programmed speed. On very steep grades, the vehicle may slightly exceed its maximum programmed speed,
requiring use of the brake pedal.
Gasoline Vehicles
• Accelerator: With the key switch in the ON position and the Forward/Reverse switch in the FORWARD position, as
the accelerator pedal is pressed, the engine should start and the vehicle should accelerate smoothly to full speed.
When the pedal is released it should return to the original position and the engine should stop. All Husqvarna
vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse.
• Governor: Check maximum speed of the vehicle. The vehicle should operate at 17 mph (27 km) on a level surface.
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• Only licensed drivers should be allowed to drive the vehicle.
• If renting or loaning the vehicle, make sure the driver is familiar with all controls and operating
procedures before allowing the vehicle to be driven.
• No more than two people should be on the vehicle at one time.
• The vehicle is not specially equipped for handicapped persons:
– Be sure all persons can properly operate the vehicle prior to allowing them to drive the vehicle.
– Be sure all passengers are capable of securing themselves in a vehicle before allowing them to
ride in one.
• For night use, the vehicle must be equipped with headlights, taillights and reflectors.
• Stop the vehicle before shifting the Forward/Reverse handle. Failure to do so may result in injury to an
unsuspecting passenger and (or) damage to the vehicle.
