Operation
Making Turns
Your ATV is equipped with a solid rear axle, which drives both
rear wheels equally at all times. The wheel on the outside of the
turn travels a greater distance than the inside wheel when turn-
ing, and the inside tire slips 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 footpeg. This technique alters the balance of traction
between the rear wheels, allowing the turn to be made
smoothly. The same leaning technique should be used for turn-
ing in reverse.
Practice making turns at slow speeds before attempting to turn
at faster speeds.
WARNING! Turning improperly can result in vehicle overturn. Never turn abruptly or at sharp angles.
Never turn at high speeds.
