5. Turn ignition key counterclockwise to stop engine.
Operating a Treker is as easy as operating a car with an
automatic transmission. A simple forward and reverse shifter
provides direction control. A manual choke control under the
seat assists in quick cold weather starting. The infinitely
variable torque converter drive system means there is no
clutching. Shift into either forward or reverse when the
vehicle is stopped and step on the throttle pedal to go at
speeds up to 25 mph. Never shift while vehicle is moving.
The brake pedal needs to be pressed to start the engine.
Braking is accomplished by simply pressing the brake pedal
located on the floorboard. This activates the rear hydraulic
drum brakes and front hydraulic disc brakes. The park brake
is incorporated in the shift selector. A dash mounted park
brake indicator light will remain on until park brake is
disengaged.
