7.14. TURNING YOUR ATV

To achieve maximum traction while riding on-road, the two rear

wheels are mounted solidly on one axle and turn together at the

same speed. Therefore, unless the wheel on the inside of the

turn is allowed to slip or lose some traction, the ATV will resist

turning. When approaching a corner or turn, close the throttle

fully, and slow the ATV down by applying both front and rear

brakes at the same time.

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Turning improperly

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

ATV could go out of control, causing a collision or overturn.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in this

Owner's Manual.

Practice turning at low speeds before attempting to turn at

faster speeds. Do not turn at speeds too fast for your skills or

the conditions.

Do not turn at excessive speeds.
