GENERAL INFORMATION This manual includes operating procedures, maintenance, and regular servicing information for all gasoline and diesel HUV 4421-G and HUV 4421-D vehicles. All operating procedures, maintenance, and regular ser- vicing are identical unless otherwise noted. MODEL IDENTIFICATION The serial number of each vehicle is printed on a bar code decal mounted on the frame above the brake pedal (Example: RC0601-123456) (Figure 3).
KEY SWITCH – GASOLINE VEHICLES 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.
BRAKE PEDAL The brake pedal (2) is located to the immediate left of the accelerator pedal (Figure 4 and Figure 5, Page 11). To slow or stop the vehicle, press the brake pedal. PARK BRAKE The park brake pedal (3) is located to the left of the brake pedal (Figure 4 and Figure 5, Page 11). To engage the park brake, first apply pressure to the brake pedal, then firmly press the park brake pedal until it latches into place.
LOW OIL WARNING LIGHT The low oil warning light (9) is located on the instrument panel just to the left of the steering column (Figure 4 and Figure 5, Page 11). If the warning light lights up, oil should be checked and added to the engine as nec- essary before vehicle use continues.
ý WARNING • The ROPS must be properly installed before operating the vehicle. Husqvarna strongly urges that the vehicle’s occupants be properly restrained at all times with the safety belts provided. Pregnant woman: Consult your doctor for specific recommendations. The safety belt should be worn securely and as low as possible over the hips and not on the waist.
ý WARNING • After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the belt is not twisted. • Loose fitting safety belts could increase the chance of injury due to sliding under the belt if sudden braking should occur.
To adjust the passenger-side seat 1. Remove the seat from the vehicle. 2. Remove the four bolts and washers from the bottom of the seat mounting plate. 3. Align the mounting plate holes with holes in the seat to achieve the desired seat position. 4.
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. Use the following list, in addition to the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist, as a guide to inspect the vehicle daily for proper operation.
ý WARNING - Be sure all passengers are capable of securing themselves in a moving vehicle before allowing them to ride in one. - Be sure all persons can properly operate the vehicle prior to allowing them to drive the vehicle.

5. Make sure wheels are turned in desired direction and nothing is in your path. 6. Make sure the Forward/Reverse handle is in the NEUTRAL position. 7. Press and hold the brake pedal. 8. To start the vehicle 8.1. Gasoline vehicles: Turn the key to the START position and hold it there until the engine starts. Activate the choke as necessary.
Under most circumstances the driver will not need to do anything to engage the AWD system; however, the front differential may become locked (rotate at the same speed regardless of the terrain) under certain condi- tions. If the front differential becomes locked, drive slowly in reverse for at least 10 feet (3 meters), then brake gently.
ý WARNING • For vehicles with cargo beds, remove all cargo before raising the bed or servicing the vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with a prop rod, ensure that it is securely engaged. Do not close bed until all persons are clear of cargo bed area. Keep hands clear of all crush areas. Do not drop cargo bed;...
ý WARNING • Reduce speed and avoid sudden stops when backing up. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to overturn or flip over backwards. • Maximum cargo load must be reduced by the weight of optional equipment. Center and secure cargo as far forward as possible in the cargo bed. Do not overload the vehicle. See Vehi- cle Load Capacities on page 23 for vehicle capacities.
Figure 10 Vehicle Load Capacity – Two-Passenger Vehicles 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. •...
ý WARNING • For use on public roads, the trailer must meet all federal, state, and local requirements such as taillights, brake lights, etc. • Never tow a vehicle behind a passenger vehicle or truck on a public road unless it is on an approved trailer.

4.3. Disconnect the fuel vent line from the fuel tank vent nipple (Figure 36, Page 44). 4.4. Plug the fuel tank vent nipple so that it is air tight. Husqvarna recommends using a slip-on vinyl cap. 5. Remove both spark plugs, and pour 1/2 ounce (14.2 mL) of SAE 10 weight oil through each of the two spark plug holes.
5. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position. Crank the engine until fuel is pumped into the carburetor (gasoline vehicles) and the fuel lines (all vehicles) and the engine starts. Turn the engine off. See following NOTE. NOTE: Due to the oil added to the gasoline engine in preparation for storage, the engine may smoke excessively for a short time when it is run for the first time after storage.
ý WARNING - Gasoline vehicles only: Disconnect the spark plug wires from the spark plugs. • If wires are removed or replaced make sure wiring and wire harness are properly routed and secured. Failure to properly route and secure wiring could result in vehicle malfunction, property damage, personal injury, or death.

TECHNICAL & CONSUMER INFORMATION (GASOLINE ENGINES) Carburetor Modification for High Altitude Operation At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions.

The emission control systems on your Honda engine were designed, built, and certified to conform with EPA and California emission regulations. We recommend replacement parts be purchased from Husqvarna, Inc.. These original-design replacement parts are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts, so you can be confident of their performance.
Husqvarna cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance. - As the vehicle engine owner, you should however be aware that Husqvarna may deny you warranty coverage if vehicle engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
