PRE-OPERATION AND DAILY SAFETY CHECKLIST
Each Husqvarna vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and adjusted at the factory; however, upon receiving your new
vehicle(s), you should become familiar with its controls, indicators, and operation. Carefully inspect each vehicle to
ensure that it is in proper working condition before accepting delivery.
Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect the vehicle. This checklist should be used daily to ensure that
the vehicle is in proper working condition and in conjunction with the Performance Inspection on page 17 and the
Periodic Service Schedule on page 27. Any problems should be corrected by a Husqvarna distributor/dealer or a
trained technician.
• General: All the parts should be in place and properly installed. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws are tight.
Check hose clamps for tight fit and the starter belt for tightness.
• Safety and information decals: Check to ensure that all safety and information decals are in place. See Safety
Decal and Feature Identification on page 4.
• Tires: Check for proper tire pressure. Visually inspect tires for wear, damage, and proper inflation on a daily basis.
See Vehicle Specifications on page 40.
• Battery: Before using vehicle for the first time, check electrolyte to ensure it is at the proper level (Figure 26).
Check battery posts. Wires should be tight and free of corrosion and battery should be fully charged.
• Engine: Check for proper engine oil level. See Engine Oil on page 31.
• Fuel: Check fuel level. See Fueling Instructions on page 35. Check fuel tank, lines, fuel cap, pump, fuel filters,
and carburetor for fuel leakage on a daily basis.
• Exhaust system: Check for leaks.
• Hydraulic brakes: Check fluid level. Fill with DOT 5 brake fluid only. See Master Cylinder on page 30.
• Performance Inspection: Inspect as instructed. See Performance Inspection on page 17.

WARNING
• Be sure the plastic has been removed from the seat bottom before operating the vehicle. Failure to do
so may result in a fire, property damage, personal injury, or death.

PERFORMANCE INSPECTION
After you have familiarized yourself with the vehicle controls and have read and understood the driving instructions,
take the vehicle for a test drive.

Page 17

Driving Instructions
Use the following checklist, in conjunction with the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist, as a guide to inspect the
vehicle and check daily for proper operation. Any problems should be corrected by a Husqvarna distributor/dealer or a
trained technician.
• Forward/Reverse shifter: Check for proper operation. See Controls and Indicators on page 11.
• Brakes: Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully pressed under moderate pressure, it
should not go more than halfway to the floorboard, and vehicle should come to a smooth, straight stop. If the brake
pedal goes more than halfway to the floorboard, or if the vehicle swerves or fails to stop, have the brake system
checked and adjusted as required. When brake pedal is fully pressed under heavy pressure, pedal should feel firm
and foot pad should be a minimum of 2 inches (5.1 cm) from floorboard. Brake adjustment must be maintained so
the brake pedal cannot be pressed to the floorboard under any circumstance.
• Park brake: Apply moderate pressure to park brake handle. Tension should increase as the handle is pulled. When
latched, the park brake should lock the wheels and hold the vehicle stationary (on an incline of 20% or less).
• Reverse buzzer: The reverse buzzer should sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle is in the
REVERSE position.
• Steering: The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• Accelerator for pedal-start vehicle: With the key switch in the ON position and the Forward/Reverse handle 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 stop.
Husqvarna vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse.
• Accelerator for key-start vehicle: After starting the engine with the key switch and placing the Forward/Reverse
handle in the FORWARD position, the vehicle should accelerate smoothly to full speed as the accelerator pedal is
pressed. When the accelerator pedal is released it should return to the original position and the engine should idle.
• Governor: Check maximum vehicle speed. It should operate in forward at 17-19 mph (27-31 km/h) on a level
surface.
• Differential lock cable: With the wheels at rest, pull the differential lock handle toward the rear of the vehicle
(locked position). The differential lock arm at the other end of the cable should move approximately one-half inch
(12.7 mm) downward. When the differential lock handle is placed back into the unlocked position, the differential
lock arm should move approximately one-half inch (12.7 mm) upward.
• General: Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle’s ride and performance.
Have a Husqvarna dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.

DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING

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.

ACCESSORIES
There is a complete line of accessory equipment available from Husqvarna and our dealers/distributors. You can obtain
the name and phone number of your closest Husqvarna contact by visiting our web site at www.usa.husqvarna.com.
Care should be taken that these accessories are properly installed by trained technicians, and that they are used in the
manner for which they were designed. See following WARNING.

WARNING
• Custom cab assemblies, canopy tops, weatherproof enclosures, and windshields will not protect
occupants from flying objects.
• If the vehicle is equipped with an electric powered bed lift, remove the bed before servicing the
bed lift system.

ELECTRIC WINCH ACCESSORY
If your vehicle is equipped with an electric winch, read and follow all manufacturer safety warnings and instructions in
the winch operator manual, as well as the following WARNING and CAUTION statements. Make sure a winch warning
decal is affixed to the vehicle on the seat support panel next to the receptacle for the remote operation switch. See
Safety Decal and Feature Identification on page 4.
The winch kit available from Husqvarna includes a remote operation switch, which enables the operator to move away
from the vehicle and cable. See following WARNING and CAUTION.

WARNING
• Before beginning a winch operation:
– Turn the key switch to the OFF position, put Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position,
and engage the park brake.
– Do not use winch while persons are seated on the vehicle.
• Stand to the side and away from the vehicle to operate winch.
Page 38

Subsequent Owner Registration

CAUTION
• Use of the winch for an extended period of time could discharge the battery. Keep winch operations
as short as possible, and drive the vehicle for several minutes after the winch operation to recharge
the battery.

SUBSEQUENT OWNER REGISTRATION
In the event a vehicle is bought as a used vehicle, we strongly urge the new owner to register the vehicle with
Husqvarna. This will enable us to contact you if the need arises. Please send your name, address, and serial number
of the vehicle to Husqvarna, 7349 Statesville Rd., Charlotte, NC 28269, Attention: Vehicle Registration.

CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
Your new Husqvarna ("Husqvarna") vehicle engine complies with both the U.S. EPA and State of California emission
regulations. However, the use of gasoline powered golf cars in areas of California that do not attain the federal ozone
standards is illegal. Please refer to the Air Resources Board information at http://www.arb.ca.gov/enf/enf.htm for
compliance.
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:
The California Air Resources Board ("CARB") and Husqvarna are pleased to explain the emission control system
warranty on your 2008 vehicle engine. In California, new small off-road engines (SORE) must be designed, built and
equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards. Husqvarna must warrant the emission control system
on the vehicle engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper
maintenance of your small off-road engine. Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or
fuel-injection system, the ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and
other emission-related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exists, Husqvarna will repair your vehicle engine
at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This emission control system is warranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your equipment is defective,
the part will be repaired or replaced by Husqvarna.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- As the vehicle engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your
owner’s manual. Husqvarna recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your vehicle engine, but
Husqvarna cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.
- As the vehicle engine owner, you should however be aware that Husqvarna may deny you warranty coverage if
vehicle engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
- You are responsible for presenting vehicle engine to a Husqvarna distribution center as soon as a problem exists.
The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
- If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact WARRANTY
SERVICES, HUSQVARNA FOREST & GARDEN,
7349 STATESVILLE ROAD, CHARLOTTE, NC 28269.
HUSQVARNA EXPLANATION OF EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY:
1. WARRANTY:
Husqvarna warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the SORE or equipment is
designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations; and free from defects in materials and
workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects to that part as described in
Husqvarnas application for certification. The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered
to an ultimate purchaser or first placed into service. The warranty period is two years.
2. COVERAGE:
Subject to certain conditions and exclusions as stated below, the warranty on emission-related parts is as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions
supplied, is warranted for the warranty period stated above. If the part fails during the period of warranty coverage, the
part will be repaired or replaced by Husqvarna according to subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced
under warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions supplied is warranted
for the warranty period stated above. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the
remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions supplied is
warranted for the period of time before the first scheduled replacement date for that part. If the part fails before the
first scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired or replaced by Husqvarna according to subsection (4) below.
Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first
scheduled replacement point for the part.

warranty of any warranted part.
(8) Throughout the engine or equipment warranty period stated above, Husqvarna will maintain a supply of warranted
parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts.
(9) Any replacement part may be used in the performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs and must be
provided without charge to the owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of Husqvarna.
(10) Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air Resources Board may not be used. The use of any
non-exempted add-on or modified parts by the ultimate purchaser will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claims.
Husqvarna will not be liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a non-exempted add-on or
modified part. *Husqvarna, its authorized dealers, or a service agency approved by Husqvarna.
ITEMS COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY:
