Driving Safely
Making Turns
Your Polaris ATV is equipped with a rear differential that functions as
a solid rear axle, driving both rear wheels equally when the ATP is in
either 2X4 or 4X4 mode. This means that the wheel on the outside of a
turn must travel a greater distance than the inside wheel, causing the
inside tire to 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
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 make turns at high speeds.
