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.
