or where it may be a hazard to faster moving traffic.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on or
crossing a gravel drive, walks, or roads. Stay alert for
hidden hazards or traffic.
• Avoid water crossings when possible and never cross
a body of water where depth is unknown. Loss of
power will occur if drive belt becomes submerged or
wet. Unnecessary crossing of streams and waterways
erodes shore line and damages water-born habitat. If
you must cross, do it at a point where banks are not
steep and proceed at a slow and steady speed. Do not
travel in water that is higher than the bottom wheel lug
nuts. Water higher than the bottom wheel lug nut can
damage the brake system and get the drive belt wet
stalling the vehicle. However, intermittent stream
crossings where depth of water briefly comes into
contact with bottom of floorboards is acceptable. See
Going Out on the Trail on page 21.
• Never use vehicle for racing and never modify engine
to exceed 25 MPH vehicle speed.
Towing Safety
• Follow all towing instructions in this manual when
towing the Treker behind another vehicle. Do not tow
the vehicle faster than 25 MPH. See Towing Safety on
page 12.
• Beware, tow ropes, cables and chains can break when
pulling another vehicle or object causing serious injury
or death to anyone in line with the whipping action
created when they break. Never jerk when pulling,
always ease into a pull gently. Always stay clear of tow
line. Never be in line with tow line.
Safe Load Capacities
See Vehicle Specifications on page 44.
• Do not exceed total payload capacity of this vehicle.
• Do not pull a trailer or implement exceeding maximum
towing capacity and/or maximum tongue weight.
Loss of control may result.
• Do not exceed front cargo rack carrying capacity.
• Do not exceed rear cargo box payload capacity.

OPERATION
WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and
understand the entire Safety section before
proceeding.
SAFETY FIRST
Gravely is fully aware of the need for safe operating
procedures around all of our equipment. We hope you will
make a sincere effort to put safety above all other priorities.
The Treker utility vehicles are designed and built for work,
recreation and enjoyment; however, improper and
irresponsible operation could result in serious injury or
death. Since this is an off-road vehicle, operators will seldom
see road safety and warning signs they are accustomed to
seeing on highways and public streets. This places
additional responsibility on the driver to operate this vehicle
well within safe operational limits and capabilities of the unit.
This manual has been prepared to instruct you in the safe
and responsible operation of your Treker. Please read and
abide by all safety alert information about this vehicle. If you
do not understand any part of this manual, contact your local
dealer for additional information and clarification. As the
operator of this piece of equipment, you are in complete
control. Only you can prevent an accident from happening!
Operator Responsibilities
WARNING: It is the operator’s responsibility to
have read this manual thoroughly and to know
how to operate this vehicle safely in all
situations. See General Safety on page 9.
• Step on foot brake to make sure there is plenty of
pedal and that brakes hold pressure and do not bleed
off. Add brake fluid as indicated in Brake Fluid on
page 37 and bleed brakes if required.
• Check park brake to make sure it will engage, hold and
release.
• Check steering by executing a full lock to lock turn in
each direction.
• Check to make sure neutral start feature is working by
trying to start unit with the shift selector located in
forward and reverse positions. (Unit should not start.)
• Check engine oil level at the dipstick. Add oil as
indicated in Engine Oil on page 34 if oil is at or below
the add mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill or plug
fouling will occur.
• Check differential oil level at the differential oil plug.
Add gear lube as indicated in Case Oil on page 35.
• Check fuel level to make sure there is at least 1/8 of a
tank of gas prior to performing initial starting
operations.
• Check air intake filtering system. Clean or replace
filtering system per instructions for Engine Air Filter
Maintenance on page 30 and CVT Snorkel Filter
Maintenance on page 32.
• Make sure low engine idle speed is set between 1250
and 1350 rpm and that maximum engine static speed
does not exceed 3800 rpm. Modifying or adjusting
carburetor to increase vehicle speed above factory
set specification is a safety violation and could
void the wa rranty.
Pre-Start Check List
• Lubricate vehicle as indicated in LUBRICATION on
page 34.
• Make sure engine cooling fan screen is clean of all
debris including dirt, trash and oil. Also, make sure

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.
Indicating Lights and Gauges
Refer to Figure 2:
1. Hour Meter: Indicates number of hours, to the nearest
1/10 of an hour, the vehicle has run.
2. Park Brake Light: Indicates park brake is on when
illuminated. Do not move vehicle with park brake light
on. See note below.
3. 4-Wheel Drive Light: Indicates 4-wheel drive is
activated when illuminated.
4. Neutral Light: Indicates shift selector is in neutral
when illuminated.
5. Oil Light: Indicates low oil pressure when illuminated.
Stop engine immediately. Check oil level and add if
low. See your authorized Gravely dealer if oil light
stays on and engine is full of oil. It is normal for the oil
light to come on whenever the ignition switch is turned
on and will stay on until engine is running.
6. Volt Meter: Indicates battery is charging. Check
battery if volt meter registers a charge that is lower
than normal. See your authorized Gravely dealer if
battery is good and volt meter still registers low charge.
