BRAKING

To stop the LT-Z90, first release the
throttle lever. Next, apply the front and
rear brakes evenly and at the same
time.

TURNING

To turn the LT-Z90, 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 greater dis-
tance than the inside rear wheel. To
make this happen, the rider must cre-
ate less traction for the inside wheel,
allowing it to slip somewhat. This
allows it to travel a shorter distance
than the outside wheel. This happens
even though both wheels are still turn-
ing at the same speed.

WARNING

Braking while turning the ATV can
be hazardous.

Use of the brake when turning
could cause the ATV to slide or
roll over.

Use the brakes to slow down
before you begin to turn.

WARNING

Braking hard on slippery surfaces
can be hazardous.

The ATV can skid and go out of
control if you brake too hard.

Apply the brakes lightly and with
care on slippery surfaces.

WARNING

Operating the parking brake lock
when the ATV is moving can be
hazardous.

The rear wheels can lock, causing
a skid and an accident.

Use the parking brake only after
you stop the ATV.

WARNING

Turning the ATV improperly can be
hazardous.

If you turn the ATV improperly, it
may cause a collision or overturn.

Always follow proper procedures
for turning as described in this
section. Practice turning at low
speeds before attempting to turn
at faster speeds. Never turn at
excessive speeds.
