Driving Safely

Making Turns

Your ATV 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. 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.
