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 dis-
tance than the inside wheel
when turning and the inside
tire must slip traction
slightly.
To turn, steer in the direc-
tion 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.
