It is also recommended to power cycle Husky batteries at least once per month to maintain
charge capabilities.
Husky’s battery should never be used or stored in an environment exceeding 40 degrees Celsius
(104 °F), and should always be charged at temperatures above freezing. At the optimal
operating temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, the discharge time of the battery is seen in Figure
8.

Wheels
Tire pressure may change with temperature and should be checked periodically with a pressure
gauge. Inspecting tires, releasing pressure, and inflating tires are completed through the tire’s
inflation stem. Tire pressure should not exceed 20psi, and lower pressure may be desired based
on terrain requirements.
If a tire must be removed, first unfasten the four M5 Socket Head Cap Screws that join the
wheel to the axle hub, and slide it off the axle. When replacing the tire, screws should be
tightened to 3.7 ft-lb [5 N-m] torque.
Chassis
Husky is an all-terrain robot, but it is not waterproof. Care should be taken that no part of the
main chassis is ever submerged in water. When the chassis becomes wet or dirty, wipe it down
with a damp cloth and dry with a towel.
If water is suspected to have entered the Husky A200 chassis, remove the battery and allow
Husky to fully dry for a minimum of 24 hours.
