Making Turns
Your Polaris 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 make a 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.
NOTE: Practice making turns at slow speeds before attempting to turn
at faster speeds.
WARNING
T urning 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.
