OPERATION
Making Turns
Both rear wheels drive equally at
all times, except when operating in
TURF mode. This means that the
outside wheel must travel a greater
distance than the inside wheel
when turning, and the inside
tire must slip traction slightly.
1. Slow down.
2. Never turn quickly when
carrying a passenger or cargo.
3. Steer in the direction of the
turn.
4. Keep both feet on the footrests.
5. Lean your upper body to the
inside of the turn while
supporting your weight on the
outer footrest.
NOTE: This technique alters the balance of traction between the
rear wheels, allowing the turn to be made smoothly.
6. 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.
