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
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.
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.
