OPERATION
Turning the Vehicle
Your vehicle is equipped with a
solid rear axle, which 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.
1. Slow down.
2. Steer in the direction of the
turn.
3. Keep both feet on the foot-
rests.
4. Lean 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.
5. Practice making turns at slow speeds before attempting to turn at
faster speeds.
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.
