WARNING
• Turn the key switch OFF, remove the key, and leave the Forward/Reverse handle in the
NEUTRAL position during storage. This is to prevent unintentionally starting the vehicle or a
fire hazard.
• Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery.
Frozen batteries can explode.
ý
CAUTION
• Batteries in low state of charge will freeze at low temperatures.
• To avoid exposing electrical components to moisture and subsequent damage, do not use
any type of pressure washing or steam cleaning equipment to wash the vehicle.
• Electric vehicles only: Place Tow/Run switch in the TOW position.

PREPARING THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED OFF-SEASON STORAGE

1. Fully charge batteries. See Battery Charger, Section 20, Page 20-4.
2. Batteries should be clean and free of corrosion. Wash tops and terminals of batteries with a solution of
baking soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) baking soda per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off bat-
teries. Do not allow this solution to enter the batteries. Be sure terminals are tight. Let the terminals dry
and then coat them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (Husqvarna 603 00 00-03).
3. Store vehicle in a cool, dry place. This will minimize battery self-discharge.
