Electric Vehicles
The key switch is mounted on the dash to the right of the steering column. It has two positions, OFF and ON,
which are clearly labeled. See following NOTE.
NOTE: The key can be removed only when the key switch is in the OFF position.
FORWARD/REVERSE CONTROL
Gasoline Vehicles
The Forward/Reverse handle is located on the seat support panel (Figure 7). The handle has three distinct
positions: F (FORWARD), N (NEUTRAL), and R (REVERSE). Rotate the handle towards the driver (FORWARD) to operate the vehicle in the forward direction, or towards the passenger (REVERSE) to operate the
vehicle in reverse. Husqvarna vehicles operate at reduced speed in REVERSE. The engine can be started
only when the handle is in the straight up position (NEUTRAL). The engine must be at idle before shifting the
Forward/Reverse handle. See WARNING and CAUTION on page 14.
Electric Vehicles
The Forward/Reverse rocker switch is located on the seat support panel (Figure 8). The F (FORWARD) and
R (REVERSE) positions are clearly marked. Push down the FORWARD side of the switch to operate the vehi-
cle in the forward direction, or push down the REVERSE side of the switch to operate the vehicle in reverse.
When the rocker switch is positioned in the NEUTRAL position, with neither side down, the vehicle will not
operate if the accelerator pedal is pressed. The reverse buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/
Reverse switch is in the REVERSE position. Husqvarna vehicles operate at reduced speed in REVERSE.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL
The accelerator pedal is the pedal on the right, with the word GO molded into it (Figure 9).
Electric Vehicles
The operation of the accelerator pedal differs from that of an automobile. When the key switch is in the ON
position, and the Forward/Reverse switch is in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position, pressing the
accelerator pedal will automatically release the park brake and start the vehicle moving in the direction
selected (forward or reverse). As the accelerator pedal is pressed, speed will increase until full speed is
reached. When the accelerator is released, power will be cut off and the motor will stop running.
Electric vehicles use a special system, which employs motor braking in some modes of operation. In those
modes, the vehicle operates as follows:
Gasoline Vehicles
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 pedal
is released it should return to the original position and the engine should idle.

BRAKE PEDAL
The brake pedal is the large pedal on the left with the word STOP molded into it (Figure 9). To slow or stop
the vehicle, press the brake pedal with your foot (Figure 10).
Figure 10 Brake PedalFigure 11 Park Brake Pedal
PARK BRAKE PEDAL
The park brake pedal is the small raised portion in the upper left corner of the brake pedal. It has the word
PARK molded into it and the words PARK BRAKE marked on top of it (Figure 10). To set the park brake,
press the brake pedal firmly and tilt the park brake portion of the pedal forward with your foot (Figure 11). See
following WARNING.
ý WARNING
• The park brake will release automatically when either the accelerator or brake pedal is
pressed. The park brake has multiple locking positions and should be firmly pressed and
locked to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
BATTERY WARNING LIGHT
Electric Vehicles Only
Electric vehicles feature a dash-mounted warning light (to the right of the key switch) that, when the vehicle is
in operation, indicates low battery voltage or, when the vehicle is being charged, indicates a charging problem. The warning light is controlled by the onboard computer.
When the vehicle is in operation, the warning light will illuminate and remain illuminate if:
• Batteries’ voltage drops below 48 volts when there is no load on the batteries (the vehicle is stopped
and there are no accessories on).
• Batteries have discharged to less than 25% of rated capacity.
If the warning light illuminates when the vehicle is operating, there will be enough power remaining to drive the
vehicle for approximately 30 minutes. However, the vehicle should be charged at the first opportunity. If the
warning light illuminates and the vehicle is unable to operate for 30 minutes, have your Husqvarna distributor/
dealer check the vehicle for a possible battery or electrical system problem.
When the batteries receive an incomplete charge because 1) the DC power cord is disconnected, 2) AC
power to the charger is interrupted, 3) automatic charger shut-off occurs after 16 hours of operation, or 4) the
charger malfunctions, the warning light will indicate as follows:
2008 Husqvarna 4210-G, 4210-E, 4210-GXP, and 4210-EXP Owner’s ManualPage 17
Controls and Indicators
• The warning light will not illuminate if the charge is 90% or more complete. The onboard computer will
retain in memory the amount of charge needed to fully replenish the batteries and will complete the
charge during the next charge cycle.
• When the charger is unplugged, the warning light will illuminate and remain illuminated for 10 seconds
if the charge is less than 90% complete but the vehicle has enough power for approximately 30 minutes of operation. This will alert the operator that the vehicle may be used, but that it must be charged
to completion as soon as possible.
• The warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, with 4 second intervals if the charger times
out at 16 hours and the batteries are not sufficiently charged. See the battery charger owner’s man-ual. This indicates an abnormal charge cycle. The charger and batteries should be checked by your
Husqvarna distributor/dealer.
• The warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, with 4 second intervals during a charge
cycle (DC plug is still connected) if AC power to the charger is interrupted. The light will go out when
AC power is restored.
LED Light: In addition to the warning light, there is an infrared LED in the dash light assembly, which transmits an infrared signal from the onboard computer (OBC). This signal is received by the optional Communication Display Module (Husqvarna 603 00 18-63), which provides information on the condition of the vehicle
and batteries.
TOW/RUN SWITCH
Electric Vehicles Only
ý WARNING
• Place Tow/Run switch in the TOW position before disconnecting or connecting the batteries.
Failure to heed this warning could result in a battery explosion or severe personal injury.
• When the Tow/Run switch is in the TOW position, all motor braking functions, including zero
speed detect, are disabled.
Electric vehicles are equipped with a Tow/Run switch, located under the seat just above the Forward/Reverse
switch (Figure 12). The switch must be in the RUN position in order to operate the vehicle. When the switch
is in the TOW position, power to the vehicle electrical components is turned off and the vehicle will not operate. See following NOTE.
NOTE: After placing the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position, allow 10 seconds to elapse before switching
back to the RUN position.
After placing the Tow/Run switch in the RUN position, allow 10 seconds to elapse before operating
the vehicle.
The Tow/Run switch should be placed in the TOW position under the following conditions:
• Before Towing the Vehicle: Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position to disable all motor braking
functions, thus preventing possible damage that could occur to the vehicle or electrical components if
the vehicle is towed while the zero speed detect motor braking function is operating.
• Before Disconnecting or Connecting Battery Cables: Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position to turn off power to the vehicle electrical system, thus preventing severe arcing and possible battery explosion as the battery cables are disconnected.
• For Long Term Storage: Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position to turn off power to the vehicle
electrical system, thus preventing vehicle electrical components from discharging the batteries.
