Operation

Making Turns

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

Your ATV is equipped with a solid rear axle, which drives

both rear wheels equally at all times. The wheel on the outside

of the turn travels a greater distance than the inside wheel

when turning, and the inside tire slips 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 footpeg. 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 or death. Avoid turning at sharp angles. Never turn at high speeds.
