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.
