ATV Operation
Leaning, Weight Shift,
and Balance
When you turn, the trick is to move for-
ward and slide over to the side of the seat
that's on the inside of the turn. Support
your body weight on the outside footrest.
At the same time, lean your body and the
passenger body to the inside of the turn.
Pay attention to the handling—if you feel
the tires coming off the ground, reduce
speed, shift more of your body weight to
the side that's lifting, and make the turn
wider if possible.

Wide Turns
Many accidents happen during turns. If
you don't understand turning techniques,
it's easy for the ATV to get away from
you by losing traction, plowing, or tip-
ping. Use this method for wide turns:
