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 dis-
tance 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.
