OPERATION

Turning the Vehicle

Your vehicle 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.
