ATV Operation
Active riding involves moving your
body. You and your passenger must
learn to lean and shift body weight into
turns to maintain control.
Safe riding techniques include:
• Riding
• Leaning, Weight Shift, and Balance
• Wide Turns
• Sharp Turns
• Quick Turns
• K-Turns
• Riding Uphill
• Riding Downhill
• Sidehilling/Traversing
• Swerving
• Crossing Obstacles
Riding
Once the engine’s warm, the ATV is
ready to go.

1. Keep your feet on the footrests and
both hands on the handlebar.
2. Hold the brake lever, and release
the brake lever lock.
3. Shift into gear.
4. Release the brake slowly and
apply the throttle.
Leaning, Weight Shift,
and Balance
When you turn, the trick is to move
forward and slide over to the side of the
seat that’s on the inside of the turn.
Support your body weight on the out-
side footrest. At the same time, lean
your body and the passenger body to
the inside of the turn. Pay attention to
the handling—if you feel the tires com-
ing off the ground, reduce speed, shift
more of your body weight to the side
that’s lifting, and make the turn wider
if possible.
