Turning The Vehicle - Polaris 500 HHO 2013 Owner's Manual

OPERATION

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 out-
side wheel 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 foot-
rests.
5. Lean your upper body to the
inside of the turn while sup-
porting 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 overturn. Never turn
abruptly or at sharp angles. Never turn at high speeds.
