Making Turns - Polaris Sprotsman MV7 Owner's Manual

Driving Safely

Making Turns

Your ATV is equipped with a rear
axle that drives both rear wheels
equally at all times. This means that
the wheel on the outside of the turn
must travel a greater distance than
the inside wheel when turning and
the inside tire must slip traction
slightly. To turn, steer in the
direction of the turn, leaning your
upper body to the inside of the turn
while supporting your weight on the
outer footrest. This technique alters
the balance of traction between the
rear wheels, allowing the turn to be
made smoothly. The same leaning
technique should be used for turning
in reverse.
NOTE: Practice making turns at slow speeds before attempting to
turn at faster speeds.
WARNING
Turning at sharp angles or at excessive speeds can result in
vehicle overturn and lead to serious injury. Avoid turning at sharp
angles. Never turn at high speeds.
