RIDING

Practice making turns at slow speeds.

Polaris ATVs are 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 smooth-

ly.

Avoid turning at sharp angles. Tipover and severe injury may result.
