OPERATION

Making Turns

Your ATV is equipped with a rear

axle that 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.

NOTE: Practice making turns at slow speeds before attempting to

turn at faster speeds.

WARNING

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.
