• Battery(ies): Check electrolyte to ensure that it is at its proper level (Figure 21, Page 38 or Figure 26,
Page 43). Check battery posts. Wires should be tight and free of corrosion. On electric vehicles charge
batteries fully before first use of vehicle.
• Charger cord, plug, and receptacle (electric vehicles): Visually inspect for cracks, loose connec-
tions, and frayed wiring. See Plug and Receptacle on page 41.
• Engine (gasoline vehicles): Check for proper engine oil level. See Engine Oil – Gasoline Vehicles
on page 44.
• Fuel (gasoline vehicles): Check fuel level. See Fueling Instructions – Gasoline Vehicles on
page 47. Check fuel tank, lines, cap, pump, fuel filters, and carburetor for fuel leakage.
• Exhaust system (gasoline vehicles): Check for leaks.
ý 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.
Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect the vehicle and check daily for proper operation. Any prob-
lems should be corrected by a Husqvarna distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
All Vehicles
• Forward/Reverse control: Check for proper operation. See Controls and Indicators on page 14.
• Brakes: Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully pressed under moderate pres-
sure, it should not go more than halfway to the floor, and vehicle should come to a smooth, straight
stop. If the pedal goes more than halfway to the floor, or if the vehicle swerves or fails to stop, have the
brake system checked and adjusted as required. Brake adjustment must be maintained so that the
brake pedal cannot be pressed to the floor under any circumstance.
• Park brake: When latched, the park brake should lock the wheels and hold the vehicle stationary (on
an incline of 20% or less). It should release when either the accelerator or brake pedal is pressed.
• Reverse buzzer: The reverse buzzer should sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle or
switch is in the REVERSE position.
• Steering: The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• General: Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle’s ride and perfor-
mance. Have a Husqvarna distributor/dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.
Electric Vehicles
• Accelerator: With the key switch in the ON position and the Forward/Reverse switch in the FOR-
WARD position, as the accelerator pedal is pressed, the motor 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 motor should rotate freely or go into motor braking mode. See Pedal Up Motor Braking
below. All Husqvarna vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse.
• Zero Speed Detect: With the vehicle parked on level ground and the park brake disengaged, place the
Tow/Run switch in the RUN position and attempt to push the vehicle. Motor braking should engage and
