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.
NOTE: Practice making turns at slow 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.
