• Do not operate the vehicle without an installed front bumper or brush guard that is specifically designed and approved for use on this vehicle. Instability in the vehicle could cause serious injury or death (Figure 3 and Figure 4).

• Check the vehicle for proper location of all vehicle safety and operation decals and make sure they are in place and are easy to read.

• For vehicles with cargo beds, remove all cargo before raising the bed or servicing the vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with a prop rod, ensure that it is securely engaged while bed is raised. Do not close bed until all persons are clear of cargo bed area. Keep hands clear of all crush areas. Do not drop cargo bed; lower gently and keep entire body clear. Failure to heed this warning could result in severe personal injury or death.

• Only trained technicians should service or repair the vehicle or battery charger. Anyone doing even simple repairs or service should have knowledge and experience in electrical and mechanical repair. The appropriate instructions must be used when performing maintenance, service, or accessory installation.

GENERAL INFORMATION

This manual features two models: the electric vehicle and the gasoline vehicle. Throughout this manual, important features unique to each model are highlighted. We urge the owner/operator to read and understand this manual, and to pay special attention to the features specific to his/her vehicle(s).

FRONT BUMPER AND BRUSH GUARD

The front bumper and brush guard are an important part of the vehicle’s design for correct weight distribution. These parts are interchangeable, but one or the other must be installed at all times during vehicle operation to achieve proper balance (Figure 3 and Figure 4). See following WARNING.

CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

See General Warnings on page 9.

ý WARNING

• If renting or loaning the vehicle, make sure the driver is familiar with all controls and operating procedures before allowing the vehicle to be driven.

• Do not shift the Forward/Reverse handle or switch while the vehicle is moving. To avoid injury to an unsuspecting passenger or damage to the vehicle, always bring the vehicle to a full stop before shifting the Forward/Reverse handle or switch.

• Release the accelerator pedal and then press the brake pedal firmly until the vehicle stops. To avoid unintentionally starting or rolling the vehicle, set the park brake, place the Forward/ Reverse handle or switch in the NEUTRAL position, turn the key switch to the OFF position, and remove the key when leaving the vehicle.

• Gasoline vehices only: Do not tamper with the governor. Doing so will void the warranty, as well as damage the engine and other components, and could result in property damage, personal injury, or death due to unsafe speeds.

KEY SWITCH

Gasoline Vehicles

The key switch is mounted on the dash to the right of the steering column (Figure 6). It has three positions, OFF, ON and START. To start the vehicle, place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and turn the key past the ON position to the START position and hold until the engine is running smoothly. When the engine is cold it may be necessary to use the choke. See Choke on page 18. Release the key and it will return to the ON position and the engine should idle. The engine will continue to idle until the key is turned to the OFF position. See following WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE.

ý WARNING

• Moving parts! Keep clear of the engine compartment while the engine is running.

CAUTION

• Do not “rev” the engine for long periods of time while the Forward/Reverse handle is in the NEUTRAL position. Failure to heed this caution could result in damage to the unitized transaxle.

• Do not shift the Forward/Reverse handle while the accelerator pedal is pressed. Shift the handle only when the vehicle is at a complete stop. Failure to heed this caution could result in damage to the unitized transaxle.

NOTE: The key can be removed only when the key switch is in the OFF position.

Figure 6 Key Switch

Controls and Indicators

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 (FOR-

WARD) 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 13.

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.

Figure 9 Accelerator and Brake Pedals

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.
