DRIVING PROCEDURES
1. Wear protective riding gear. See page 12.
2. Perform the pre-ride inspection.
3. Place the transmission in PARK.
4. Lock the parking brake.
5. Mount the vehicle from the left side.
6. Sit upright with both feet on the footrests and both hands on the handlebars.
7. Start the engine and allow it to warm up.
8. Shift the transmission into gear.
9. Check your surroundings and determine your path of travel.
10. Release the parking brake.
11. Slowly depress the throttle with your right thumb and begin driving.
12. Drive slowly. Practice maneuvering and using the throttle and brakes on level
surfaces.
TURNING THE VEHICLE
Both rear wheels drive equally at all times. This means that the outside wheel
must travel a greater distance than the inside wheel when turning, and the inside
tire must slip traction slightly.
1. Slow down.
2. Never turn quickly when carrying cargo.
3. Steer in the direction of the turn.
4. Keep both feet on the footrests.
5. Lean 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 leaning
technique should be used for turning in reverse.
6. 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.
