Making Turns

Practice making turns at slow speeds.
The Sportsman 6x6 is equipped with a solid rear axle that drives all

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 learning

technique should be used for turning in reverse.

WARNING

Turning at sharp angles in reverse can result in tipover and

serious injury. Avoid turning at sharp angles while operating in

reverse.
