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.
