Cleaning The Vehicle; Accessories - Husqvarna HUV 4213-G Owner's Manual

Cleaning the Vehicle

CLEANING THE VEHICLE
Each vehicle is equipped with an ABS/DR acrylic front body and an all-aluminum rear body. The HUV4213 has a
powder-coated steel cargo bed. Use commercial automotive cleaning solutions with a sponge or soft cloth for normal
cleaning. A garden hose at normal residential water pressure is adequate. To remove oxidation or discoloration from
aluminum, use a commercially available aluminum cleaner paste and fine grade (No. 00) steel wool.
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 damage and
subsequent component failure.
Use non-abrasive wax products. Battery acid, fertilizers, tars, asphalt, creosote, paint, or chewing gum should be
removed immediately to prevent possible stains.
The front body is made of an ABS/DR acrylic cap material similar to the material used to manufacture hot tubs and
shower/tub units. Cleaning and repair techniques for the front body are the same as those used on conventional
acrylic sheet. Use cleaning and polishing products available at any hardware store where ABS/DR acrylic (hot tubs
and shower/tub units) are sold.
The seats of the vehicle will last longer with proper cleaning. Use a solution of 10% liquid soap and warm water applied
with a soft cloth. For imbedded dirt, a soft bristle brush may be used. For heavy soiling, difficult stains, or scratches,
blemishes, or other body damage, see the appropriate maintenance and service manual. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Dispose of waste water properly.
