OPERATION

Turning the Vehicle

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 turn-

ing 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.
Practice making turns at slow speeds before attempting to turn at faster

speeds.

WARNING! Turning improperly can result in vehicle overturn. Never turn

abruptly or at sharp angles. Never turn at high speeds.
