Driving Safely

Making Turns

Your Polaris 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 turning and the inside tire must slip traction slightly.
To make a 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.
