ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) OPERATION
The Husqvarna HUV 5420 DX
power to the wheel, or wheels, that have the most traction, providing optimum traction at all times. For example, if all
wheels except the rear passenger-side wheel lose traction, then power will be directed to the rear passenger-side
wheel. The all-wheel drive vehicle can adapt traction for a wide variety of driving surfaces and conditions. See
following WARNING.
WARNING
• When servicing the vehicle with part of the vehicle on jack stands, do not operate the engine with the
Forward/Reverse handle in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position. The all-wheel drive system will
engage any wheel(s), front or rear, with traction (Figure 3).
• The diameter of all tires on the vehicle must be equal; otherwise the all-wheel drive system will not
operate as intended and could result in severe personal injury or death. Never install tires of different
diameters on the vehicle.
Under most circumstances the driver will not need to do anything to engage the AWD system; however, the front
differential may become locked (rotate at the same speed regardless of the terrain) under certain conditions. If the
front differential becomes locked, drive slowly in reverse for at least 10 feet (3 meters), then brake gently. See
following WARNING.
WARNING
• Reduced steering control can occur if the front differential becomes locked. To help prevent this
condition, avoid extremely hard braking in reverse.
STOPPING THE VEHICLE
To stop the vehicle, release the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
See following WARNING and CAUTION.
WARNING
• Driving through water may affect the brakes. After driving through water, check effectiveness of the
brakes by gently pressing the brake pedal. If the vehicle does not slow down at the normal rate,
continue to press the brake pedal until the brakes dry out and normal performance returns.
