Driving Safely

Making Turns

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.
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.
