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 Performance Inspection on page 17 and the Periodic Service Schedule on page 27. 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. Check hose clamps for tight fit and the starter belt for tightness.
•Safety and information decals: Check to ensure that all safety and information decals are in place. See Safety
Decal and Feature Identification on page 4.
•Tires: Check for proper tire pressure. Visually inspect tires for wear, damage, and proper inflation on a daily basis.
See Vehicle Specifications on page 40.
•Battery: Before using vehicle for the first time, check electrolyte to ensure it is at the proper level (Figure 26). Check battery posts. Wires should be tight and free of corrosion and battery should be fully charged.
•Engine: Check for proper engine oil level. See Engine Oil on page 31.
•Fuel: Check fuel level. See Fueling Instructions on page 35. Check fuel tank, lines, fuel cap, pump, fuel filters, and carburetor for fuel leakage on a daily basis.
•Exhaust system: Check for leaks.
•Hydraulic brakes: Check fluid level. Fill with DOT 5 brake fluid only. See Master Cylinder on page 30.
•Performance Inspection: Inspect as instructed. See Performance Inspection on page 17.
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.
