Turning You Atv; Climbing Uphill - LONCIN ATV110-M Owner's Manual

Turning you ATV

To achieve maximum traction while riding off-
Road, the two rear wheels are mounted sol-
idly on one axle and turn together at the same
speed. Therefore, unless the wheel on the
inside of the turn is allowed to slip or lose some
traction, the ATV will resist turning. A special
turning technique must be used to allow the
ATV to make turns quickly and easily. It is
essential that this skill be learned first at low
speed.

Climbing uphill

Use proper riding skill to avoid vehicle over-
turns on hills. Be sure that you can maneu-

first on gentle slopes. Try more difficult climbs
only after you have learned more skills. In all
cases avoid inclines with slippery or loose
surfaces, or obstacles that might cause you
to loose control. It is important when you climb-
ing a hill to make sure that your weight is trans-
ferred forward on the ATV. This can be ac-
complished by leaning forward and, on
steeper inclines, standing on the footboards
and leaning forward over the handlebars.
If you are climbing a hill and you find that you
have not properly judged your ability to make
it to the top, you should turn the ATV
aroundwhile you still have forward motion
(provided you have the room to do so) and
descend the hill.
If your ATV has stalled or stopped and you
believe you can continue up the hill, restart
carefully to make sure you do not lift the front
wheels which could cause you to loose
control. If you are unable to continue up the
