TURNING
To turn the ATV, the rider must use the proper technique. Because this vehicle
has a solid rear axle, both rear wheels always turn at the same speed. This means
that if the rear wheels are getting equal traction, the vehicle will tend to move
straight ahead. This is because the rear wheels will travel the same distance. For
the vehicle to turn, the outside rear wheel must travel a longer distance that the
inside rear wheel. To make this happen, the rider must create less traction for the
inside wheel, allowing it to skid. This allows it to travel a shorter distance than
the outside wheel. This happens even though both wheels are still turning at the
same speed.
FOR HIGHER SPEEDS OR SHARPER TURNS
Use the same technique that you use when you move your body weight farther
toward the inside of the turn to maintain your balance. Natural turning forces
(which can push the vehicle to the outside of the turn) increase as the speed or
the turn sharpness increases. This means you must lean your body farther into
the turn as you go faster or turn more sharply. This prevents the vehicle from
tipping over to the outside of the turn. If your ATV starts to tip while turning, lean
your body farther into the turn while gradually reducing the throttle and making
the turn wider, if possible.
To turn ATV, use the following technique:
· Move your body weight forward and to the
inside of the turn.
· Turn the handlebar while looking in the
direction of the turn.
WARNING
Turning improperly.
ATV could go out of control, causing a collision or overturn.
Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in the owner’s
manual.
Practice turning at low speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds.
Do not turn at excessive speed.
