Turning the Vehicle

Practice making turns at slow speeds.
The Polaris PTV 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. 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.
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.
