TOWING WITH THE VEHICLE
ý
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 cau-
tious when towing other equipment with an HUV4213 vehicle.
See the preceding chart for vehicle capaci-
ties.
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
ý
WARNING
• Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position (Figure 12).
• 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.
NOTE: A two-car trailer should be rated at 2 x 2000 lb. = 4000 lb. (2 x 908 kg = 1816 kg).
