ATV Operation
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 outside footrest. At the same time, lean your body
to the inside of the turn. Pay attention to the handling—if you feel
the tires coming off the ground, reduce speed, shift more of your
body weight to the side that’s lifting, and make the turn wider if
possible.
K-Turns
Use K-turns if you accidentally stall while riding uphill; you need
to take action before the ATV rolls backward down the hill.
1. Stop where you are, apply the brakes.
2. Shut off the engine.
3. Keep your body weight shifted forward.
4. Get off the ATV on the uphill side.
5. If you’re to the left of the ATV, turn the handlebar all the way
left.
6. Partially release the brake, but lightly hold the brake lever.
7. Let the ATV roll to your right side until it faces slightly
downhill.
8. Reapply the brakes.
9. Get back on the ATV from the uphill side, and keep your
weight shifted uphill when you sit down.
10. Start the engine and follow the method for riding downhill.
