ýCAUT ION
•Do not leave electronic devices connected to the accessory outlet while the vehicle batteries are being charged. The voltage output can fluctuate from 12 volts to 19 volts while the vehicle batteries are charging, and this voltage fluctuation can damage some electronic devices.
To remove a power cord from the accessory outlet, rotate it counterclockwise, align the arrows and pull the cord out of the outlet.
Extended use of this accessory can cause the batteries to become heavily discharged. If the vehicle batteries become deeply discharged, charge the batteries as instructed in the owner’s manual appropriate to the vehi- cle, or contact your local Husqvarna dealer for instructions.
Inspect the accessory outlet periodically to ensure the electrical connection is clean and free of corrosion.
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 Periodic Service Schedules on page 29. 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. On gasoline vehicles check all hose clamps for tight fit as well as the starter belt for tightness.
•Safety and information decals: Check to ensure that all safety and information decals are in place. See pages 4 through 7.
•Tires: Check for proper tire pressure. Visually inspect tires for wear, damage, and proper inflation on a daily basis. See Vehicle Specifications on page 46.
•Battery(ies): Check electrolyte to ensure that it is at its proper level (Figure 21, Page 35 or Figure 26, Page 40). Check battery posts. Wires should be tight and free of corrosion. On electric vehicles charge batteries fully before first use of vehicle.
