Turning the Vehicle
Your ATV is equipped with a
solid rear axle, which 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.
1. Slow down.
2. Never turn quickly when
carrying a passenger or
cargo.
3. Steer in the direction of
the turn.
4. Keep both feet on the
footrests.
5. Lean 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.
6. Practice making turns at slow speeds before attempting to turn at
faster speeds.
WARNING! Turning improperly can result in vehicle rollover. Never turn
abruptly or at sharp angles. Never turn at high speeds.
