Checking And Adjusting The Steering Wires; Checking The Brake; Check The Level Of The Battery Acid; Charging The Batteries - Husqvarna Rider Battery Operator's Manual

Checking and adjusting the steering
wires
The steering is controlled by means of wires. These can in
time become slack, which implies that the adjustment of the
steering becomes altered.
Check and adjust the steering as follows:
1 Remove the frame plate by loosening the screws.
2 Check the tension of the steering wires by squeezing
them together by the arrows as illustrated.
3 If necessary, the wires can be adjusted by tightening the
adjuster nuts on each side of the steering collar. Do not
over tighten the cables; they should only be drawn in
towards the steering collar.
Hold the cable, for example using an adjustable wrench,
so that it does not twist.
If you only tension one side the steering wheel's centre
position may change.
Check the wire tension on completion of the adjustment
as per item 2.

Checking the brake

The brake is a disc brake and is attached to the drive motor.
Check that the brake is correctly adjusted by placing the
machine on a slight downhill slope and engaging the brake.
If the machine does not stand still, the brake must be adjusted
by an authorised servicing dealer.
Maintenance

Check the level of the battery acid

!
The machine has three batteries connected in series. One
battery is located in the rear carriage and two batteries are
located under the seat.
Loosen the snap lock and lift off the battery covers.
Unscrew the battery lids and check that the battery acid just
covers the battery cells.
Check that the battery acid level reaches up to the level pin.
Top up the cells with distilled water only.

Charging the batteries

Make a habit of always charging the battery when the
machine is not in use. In this way the machine is always ready
to use. When the battery is fully charged, the charger goes
into maintenance charging mode.
Improperly used, broken or a faulty battery charger can cause
an electric shock, overheating or battery acid leakage.
The batteries must be recharged using the battery charger
supplied.
• Charging should be carried out in the ideal surrounding
temperature from 0 to 40°C
• Do not charge at temperatures below 0° C.
• Do not charge the battery in direct sunlight.
• Keep the charger out of reach of children.
WARNING! Be especially careful when
handling battery acid. Acid on the skin can
cause serious corrosive injuries. In the event
of spillage on the skin wash immediately
with water.
Batteries emit explosive gas. Sparks, flames
and cigarettes must absolutely not be
brought into the vicinity of the battery.
