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.
Practice making turns at slow speeds.
WARNING! Turning improperly can result in vehicle
overturn. Never turn abruptly or at sharp angles.
Never turn at high speeds.
