Be sure battery hold-down clamp is properly tightened. Tighten to 12 ft-lb (16.3 N·m). A loose clamp may
allow the battery to become damaged from vibration or jarring.
If battery appears weak, have it charged by a trained technician. The battery should never be left discharged
any longer than absolutely necessary (do not leave discharged overnight).
CLEANING THE VEHICLE
Each vehicle is equipped with an ABS/DR acrylic front body and an all-aluminum rear body. The HUV4213
has a powder-coated steel cargo bed. Use commercial automotive cleaning solutions with a sponge or soft
cloth for normal cleaning. A garden hose at normal residential water pressure is adequate. To remove oxida-
tion or discoloration from aluminum, use a commercially available aluminum cleaner paste and fine grade
(No. 00) steel wool.
Husqvarna does not recommend any type of pressure washing or steam cleaning. Such a process will expose
electrical components to moisture. Moisture entering electrical components can result in water damage and
subsequent component failure.
Use non-abrasive wax products. Battery acid, fertilizers, tars, asphalt, creosote, paint, or chewing gum should
be removed immediately to prevent possible stains.
The front body is made of an ABS/DR acrylic cap material similar to the material used to manufacture hot tubs
and shower/tub units. Cleaning and repair techniques for the front body are the same as those used on con-
ventional acrylic sheet. Use cleaning and polishing products available at any hardware store where ABS/DR
acrylic (hot tubs and shower/tub units) are sold.
The seats of the vehicle will last longer with proper cleaning. Use a solution of 10% liquid soap and warm
water applied with a soft cloth. For imbedded dirt, a soft bristle brush may be used. For heavy soiling, difficult
stains, or scratches, blemishes, or other body damage, see the appropriate maintenance and service manual.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: Dispose of waste water properly.
