Towing with the Vehicle
TOWING WITH THE VEHICLE
WARNING
•Do not tow a vehicle or trailer on public streets or highways.
•Normal vehicle operating speed should be reduced when towing.
•Extreme caution should be used when towing.
•Do not allow riders in the vehicle or trailer being towed.
•Avoid sudden starts, sudden stops, and tight turns when towing.
•Avoid stopping on a hill when towing. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts, or rolling backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning may cause vehicle to overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
Towing another HUV4213 vehicle or a trailer can have adverse effects on vehicle handling. Be especially cautious when towing other equipment. See the preceding chart for vehicle capacities.
Parking the vehicle with a trailer on a hill should be avoided. If you must park on a hill, apply brakes and have someone chock tires of trailer. Brakes should be released to allow chocks to absorb load of trailer. After tires have been chocked, engage park brake.
TRANSPORTING ON A TRAILER
WARNING
•Turn the fuel
•Do not allow riders in the trailer being towed.
•Avoid sudden starts, sudden stops, and tight turns when towing.
•Avoid stopping on a hill when towing. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts, or rolling backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning could cause the vehicle to overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
•Reduce normal driving speed when transporting a vehicle on a trailer.
•For use on public roads, the trailer must meet all federal, state, and local requirements such as taillights, brake lights, etc.
•Never tow a Husqvarna vehicle behind a passenger vehicle or truck on a public road unless it is on an approved trailer.
•The vehicle to be transported should be tied securely to the trailer, with the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, the key switch in the OFF position, and the park brake firmly engaged.
•Because of the added length of the trailer, use caution when making turns.
•Do not transport the vehicle on a trailer with a load in the vehicle cargo bed.
•Remove the vehicle windshield and secure the seats before transporting on a trailer.
If the vehicle must be transported over long distances or on public highways, it should be transported on an approved trailer that has an approved load rating of 2000 lb. (908 kg) per vehicle being transported.
