TURNING YOUR ATV
To achieve maximum traction while riding off-road
in 2WD or 4WD, the two rear wheels are mounted
solidly on one axle and turn together at the same
speed. Furthermore, when riding in 4WD-LOCK
(“DIFF.LOCK”), the front wheels also 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. A special turn-
ing technique must be used to allow the ATV to
make turns quickly and easily. It is essential that
this skill be learned first at low speed.
WARNING
_
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. Operate at a
slow speed and allow extra time and distance
for maneuvers when in 4WD-LOCK
(“DIFF.LOCK”).
