CLEANING THE VEHICLE

See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
CAUT ION
• Do not use detergents or cleaning solvents that contain ammonia, aromatic solvents, or alkali
materials on body panels or seats.
• Do not allow battery acid to drip on body panels. Battery acid will cause permanent damage.
Wash spilled battery acid from body panels immediately.
Each vehicle is equipped with an ABS/DR acrylic cap front body and an aluminum rear body and frame. The
cargo bed is powder-coated steel.
Husqvarna does not recommend any type of pressure washing or steam cleaning. Such a process will
expose electrical components to moisture. Moisture entering electrical components can result in water dam-
age and subsequent component failure. Normal residential water pressure is adequate for exterior cleaning.
For regular front body cleaning, use automotive cleaning solutions with a sponge or soft cloth. Repair kits
and cleaning/polishing products are also available at most hardware stores where ABS/DR acrylic products
(hot tubs and shower/tub units) are sold.
To remove oxidation or discoloration from aluminum, use a commercially available aluminum cleaner paste
and fine grade (No. 00) steel wool. Battery acid, fertilizers, tars, asphalt, creosote, paint, or chewing gum
should be removed immediately to prevent possible stains.

SEAT CLEANING

Clean seats regularly using the following guidelines: See following CAUTION.
Light Soiling – A solution of 10% liquid dish soap and warm water applied with a soft, damp cloth is
recommended. A soft bristle brush may be used if necessary. Wipe off any residue with a water damp-
ened cloth. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Dispose of waste water properly.
Difficult Stains – Dampen a soft, white cloth with a solution of 10% household bleach (sodium
hypochlorite) and 90% water. Rub gently to remove stain, then rinse with a water dampened cloth to
remove bleach concentration.
For More Difficult Stains – Perform previous procedure using full-strength bleach, or allow bleach to
puddle on affected area for approximately 30 minutes. Rinse with a water dampened cloth to remove
any remaining bleach concentration. See following CAUTION.
