Making Turns
Practice making turns at slow speeds.
Polaris 6x6s are equipped with solid rear axles which drives all 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 smoothly. The same learning technique
should be used for turning in reverse.
WARNING
Avoid turning at sharp angles in reverse as tipover and serious
injury may result.
