Become familiar with the way the vehicle feels
in low and high ranges, first in two-wheel
drive “2WD” and then in four-wheel drive
“4WD” and four-wheel drive with the differen-
tial locked “DIFF. LOCK”. Steering may take
more effort in four-wheel drive with the differ-
ential locked “DIFF. LOCK”. Also practice
driving in reverse.
Take the time to learn basic operation of the
vehicle before attempting more difficult ma-
neuvers.
Getting ready to ride
Perform the Pre-Operation Checks on page
6-1. Follow the instructions starting on page
7-2 to start the engine.
Turning
Use care in turns – turning the steering wheel
too far or too fast can result in loss of control
or a rollover. Slow down before entering
turns. When making tight turns from a stand-
still or at slow speeds, avoid sudden or hard
acceleration. Driving aggressively or making
abrupt maneuvers even on flat, open areas
can cause side rollovers. Avoid sideways slid-
ing, skidding, or fishtailing (rear-wheel slid-
ing), and never do donuts. If you feel the
Wolverine RMAX2 begin to slide sideways or
the rear wheels begin to slide during a turn,
steer into the direction of the slide, if possible,
and gradually let off the accelerator pedal to
regain directional control and avoid rollover.
