OPERATION AND USE
Towing
The Treker is capable of being towed behind a tractor or
another vehicle as long as certain precautions are followed:
• The ignition switch must be turned off.
• The gear selector must be placed in neutral position.
• The vehicle must be towed with a rigid tow-bar that is
designed to tow the gross weight of the Treker. See
SPECIFICATIONS on page 44 for vehicle gross
weight.
• Tow-bar must be securely attached to the Treker at a
location that will not damage the vehicle or come loose
from the vehicle.
• Owner/user takes on all responsibility and liability
resulting from attaching tow-bar to the Treker and to
the vehicle towing the Treker.
• Do not allow anyone to ride in the Treker while it is
being towed.
• Do not tow a trailer or vehicle behind the Treker that is
being towed.
• Do not tow vehicle at speeds over 25 mph (40.2 km/h).
The vehicle is designed to travel up to 25 mph
(40.2 km/h). Higher speeds may result in damage to
the Treker, vehicle towing the Treker and personnel.
• Slow down when turning to prevent loss of control and
rollovers.
• Obey all state and local laws for towing vehicles.
Engine Performance
All small gas engines need fuel, air, and spark in exactly the
right proportions in order to run properly at peak
performance. Bad or stale fuel, a fouled spark plug, a wet or
corroded spark plug wire, a gummed up carburetor, a wet or
dirty air filter, a low oil situation, incomplete fuel combustion,
carburetor icing, high oil situation (gas in the oil reservoir),
and low engine temperature are all causes of small gas
engine problems or diminished performance.
Fuel Quality
The normal shelf life of gasoline from the time it leaves the
refinery is about 30 days. Unused gas that is stored too long
can oxidize and break down causing formation of gum and
varnish deposits in carburetors, needle valves, jets and
venturis. This stops or chokes off flow of proper fuel/air
mixture.
Draining the tank or running the engine until the tank is
empty can result in dried out gaskets that, when dry, will
crack and leak. Also, emptying metal fuel tanks and storage
containers can result in corroded containers and
contaminated fuel.
Gravely highly recommends using a fuel stabilizer or oxygen
inhibitor such as Gravely fuel stabilizer p/n 00592900.
