OPERATION

Driving Safely

Turning the Vehicle

Your ATV is equipped with a

solid rear axle, which 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 sup-

porting 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.

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.
