OPERATION

Turning the Vehicle

Both rear wheels drive
equally at all times, except
when operating in TURF
mode. This means that the
outside wheel must travel a
greater distance than the
inside wheel when turning,
and the inside tire must slip
traction slightly.

1. Slow down.

2. Never turn quickly when

carrying a passenger or
cargo.

3. Steer in the direction of

the turn.

4. Keep both feet on the footrests.

5. Lean your upper body to the inside of the turn while supporting your

weight on the outer footrest.

NOTE: This technique alters the balance of traction between the rear wheels,

allowing the turn to be made smoothly.

6. 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

Turning 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.
