2.2 Safety advice

A number of safety instructions need to be followed to operate the vehicle safely. Therefore, read this manual carefully. The safety instructions are highlighted in the text and are referred to at the relevant passages.
Info
The vehicle has various information and warning labels at prominent locations. Do not remove information/warning labels. If they are missing, you or others may not recognize dangers and may therefore be injured.

2.3 Degrees of risk and symbols

Danger

Warning
Identifies a danger that will lead to environmental damage if the appropriate measures are not taken.

2.4 Tampering warning

Tampering with the noise control system is prohibited. Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof:
1 The removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or
element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate pur­chaser or while it is in use, or
2 the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.
Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below:
2 SAFETY ADVICE 7
1 Removal or puncturing of the main silencer, baffles, header pipes or any other components which conduct exhaust gases. 2 Removal or puncturing of parts of the intake system. 3 Lack of proper maintenance. 4 Replacing moving part of the vehicle, or parts of the exhaust or intake system, with parts other than those specified by the manufac-
turer.

2.5 Safe operation

Danger
Danger of accidents Danger arising from the rider's judgement being impaired.
– Do not operate the vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, drugs and certain medications or physically or mentally
impaired.
Danger
Danger of poisoning Exhaust gases are toxic and inhaling them may result in unconsciousness and/or death.
– When running the engine, always make sure there is sufficient ventilation, and do not start or run the engine in an enclosed
space without an effective exhaust extraction system.
Warning
Danger of burns Some vehicle components become very hot when the vehicle is operated.
– Do not touch hot components such as exhaust system, radiator, engine, shock absorber, and the brake system. Allow these
components to cool down before starting work on them.
Only operate the vehicle when it is in perfect technical condition, in accordance with its intended use, and in a safe and environmentally compatible manner. An appropriate driver's license is needed to ride the vehicle on public roads. Have malfunctions that impair safety promptly eliminated by an authorized Husqvarna workshop. Adhere to the information and warning labels on the vehicle.

2.6 Protective clothing

Warning
Risk of injury Missing or poor protective clothing presents an increased safety risk.
– Wear protective clothing (helmet, boots, gloves, pants and jacket with protectors) every time you ride the vehicle. Always
wear protective clothing that is in good condition and meets the legal requirements.
In the interest of your own safety, Husqvarna recommends that you only operate the vehicle while wearing protective clothing.

2.7 Work rules

Special tools are necessary for certain tasks. The tools are not contained in the vehicle but can be ordered under the number in paren­theses. E.g.: bearing puller (15112017000) During assembly, non-reusable parts (e.g. self-locking screws and nuts, seals and seal rings, O-rings, pins, lock washers) must be replaced by new parts. In some instances, a thread locker (e.g. Loctite®) is required. The manufacturer instructions for use must be followed. After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear. Change damaged or worn parts. After you complete the repair or service work, check the operating safety of the vehicle.

2.8 Environment

If you use your motorcycle responsibly, you can ensure that problems and conflicts do not occur. To protect the future of the motorcycle sport, make sure that you use your motorcycle legally, display environmental consciousness, and respect the rights of others. When disposing of used oil, other operating and auxiliary fluids, and used components, comply with the laws and regulations of the respective country. Because motorcycles are not subject to the EU regulations governing the disposal of used vehicles, there are no legal regulations that pertain to the disposal of an end-of-life motorcycle. Your authorized Husqvarna dealer will be glad to advise you.
2 SAFETY ADVICE 8

2.9 Owner's Manual

It is important that you read this Owner's Manual carefully and completely before making your first trip. The Owner's Manual contains useful information and many tips on how to operate, handle, and maintain your motorcycle. Only then will you find out how to customize the vehicle ideally for your own use and how you can protect yourself from injury. Keep the Owner's Manual in an accessible place to enable you to refer to it as needed. If you would like to know more about the vehicle or have questions on the material you read, please contact an authorized Husqvarna dealer. The Owner's Manual is an important component of the vehicle and should be handed over to the new owner if the vehicle is sold.

3 IMPORTANT INFORMATION 9

3.1 Manufacturer and implied warranty

The work prescribed in the service schedule must be carried out by an authorized Husqvarna workshop only and confirmed in the cus­tomer's service record and in the Husqvarna dealer.net; otherwise, all warranty claims will be void. No warranty claims can be consid­ered for damage resulting from manipulations and/or alterations to the vehicle. Additional information on the manufacturer or implied warranty and the procedures involved can be found in the service booklet.

3.2 Operating and auxiliary substances

Warning
Environmental hazard Improper handling of fuel is a danger to the environment.
– Do not allow fuel to get into the ground water, the ground, or the sewage system.
Use operating and auxiliary substances (such as fuel and lubricants) as specified in the Owner's Manual.

3.3 Spare parts, accessories

For your own safety, only use spare parts and accessory products that are approved and/or recommended by Husqvarna and have them installed by an authorized Husqvarna workshop. Husqvarna accepts no liability for other products and any resulting damage or loss. Certain spare parts and accessory products are specified in parentheses in the descriptions. Your Husqvarna dealer will be glad to advise you.
The current Husky Power for your vehicle can be found on the Husqvarna website. International Husqvarna website: www.husqvarna-motorcycles.com

3.4 Service

A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of premature wear is that the service, care, and tuning work on the engine and chas­sis is properly carried out as described in the Owner's Manual. Incorrect adjustment and tuning of the engine and chassis can lead to damage and breakage of components. Use of the vehicle under difficult conditions, such as on sand or on wet and muddy surfaces, can lead to considerably more rapid wear of components such as the drive train, brake system, or suspension components. For this reason, it may be necessary to inspect or replace parts before the next scheduled service. It is imperative that you adhere to the stipulated run-in times and service intervals. If you observe these exactly, you will ensure a much longer service life for your motorcycle.

3.5 Figures

The figures contained in the manual may depict special equipment. In the interest of clarity, some components may be shown disassembled or may not be shown at all. It is not always necessary to disas­semble the component to perform the activity in question. Please follow the instructions in the text.

3.6 Customer service

Your authorized Husqvarna dealer will be happy to answer any questions you may have on your vehicle and Husqvarna.
