The key switch (7) is mounted on the instrument panel to the right of the steering column (Figure 4, Page 11).
It has three positions: OFF, ON, and START.
To start the vehicle, place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and turn the key to the
START position, and hold it there until the engine starts. Activate the choke (14) as necessary. If the engine
does not start after 10-15 seconds, release the key and repeat the procedure. Once the engine starts, release
the key and it will return to the ON position. The engine will idle in neutral.The engine will continue to idle until
the key is turned to the OFF position. See following WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE.
ý WARNING
• Moving parts! Keep clear of the engine compartment while the engine is running.
CAUTION
• Do not shift the Forward/Reverse handle while the accelerator pedal is pressed. Shift the
handle only when the vehicle is at a complete stop and the engine is at idle. Failure to heed
this caution could result in damage to the transmission.
NOTE: The key can be removed only when the key switch is in the OFF position.
KEY SWITCH – DIESEL VEHICLES
The key switch (7) is mounted on the instrument panel to the right of the steering column (Figure 5, Page 11).
It has four positions: PREHEAT, OFF, ON, and START.
Use the PREHEAT feature if the temperature falls below 23 °F (–5 °C). Do not hold the key in the PREHEAT
position longer than 20 seconds. To preheat the glow plugs in cold weather, turn the key to the PREHEAT
position, and hold it there for 10-15 seconds. Then turn the key to the START position, and hold it there until
the engine starts. If the engine does not start after 10-15 seconds, turn the key to the OFF position and repeat
the procedure. Once the engine starts, release the key and it will return to the ON position. The engine will idle
in neutral. The engine will continue to idle until the key is turned to the OFF position. See previous WARN-
ING, CAUTION, and NOTE.
FORWARD/REVERSE CONTROL
The Forward/Reverse handle (6) is located on the right side of the instrument panel (Figure 4 and Figure 5,
Page 11). The handle has three distinct positions: FORWARD (A), NEUTRAL (B), and REVERSE (C). Push
the handle up to operate the vehicle in the forward direction, or pull the handle down to operate the vehicle in
reverse. The engine can be started only when the handle is in the NEUTRAL (middle) position. The engine
must be at idle before shifting the Forward/Reverse handle. See WARNING and CAUTION on page 12.
Husqvarna vehicles operate at a reduced speed in reverse. The reverse buzzer will sound as a warning when
the Forward/Reverse handle is in the REVERSE position.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
The accelerator pedal (1) is the pedal farthest to the right (Figure 4 and Figure 5, Page 11).
With the engine running and the Forward/Reverse handle in the FORWARD or REVERSE position, vehicle
speed will increase as the accelerator pedal is pressed. When the accelerator pedal is released, it will return
to the original position and the engine will idle. See WARNING and CAUTION on page 12.
