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 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. 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.
