RIDING
Practice making turns at slow sp eed s.
Polaris ATVs are 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 foot-
rest. This technique alters the balance of traction between the rear wheels allo w-
ing the turn to be made smoothly.
Avoid turning at sharp angles. Tipover and severe injury may result.
