1. Lean towards inside of turn
2. Support your weight on the outer footrest
This procedure should he practiced at slow speed many
times in a large unpaved area with no obstacles. If an
incorrect technique is used, your ATV may continue to go
straight. If the ATV doesn’t turn, come to a stop and then
practice the procedure again. If the riding surface is slippery
or loose, it may help to position more of your weight over the
front wheels by moving forward on the seat.
Once you have learned this technique, you should be able to
perform it at higher speeds or in tighter curves.
Improper riding procedures such as abrupt throttle changes,
excessive braking, incorrect body movements, or too much
speed for the sharpness of the turn may cause the ATV to tip.
If the ATV begins to tip over to the outside while negotiating a
turn, lean more to the inside. It may also be necessary to
gradually let off on the throttle and steer to the outside of the
turn to avoid tipping over.
Remember: Avoid higher speeds until you are thoroughly
familiar with the operation of your ATV.
CLIMBING UPHILL
WARNING
Climbing hills improperly can cause overturns or loss
of control. Use proper riding techniques described in this
owner’s Manual.
● Never operate the ATV on hills too steep for the ATV
or for your abilities. The ATV can overturn more easily
on extremely steep hills than on level surfaces or small
hills.
● Always check the terrain carefully before you start up
any hill. Never climb hills with excessively slippery or
loose surfaces.
● Shift your weight forward.
● Never open the throttle suddenly or make sudden gear
changes. The ATV could flip over backwards.
● Never go over the top of any hill at high speed. An
obstacle, a sharp drop, or another vehicle or person
could be on the other side of the hill.
● Never attempt to turn the ATV around on any hill until
you have mastered the turning techniques as described
in the Owner’s Manual on level ground. Be very careful
when turning on any hill.
● Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill possible. When
crossing the side of a hill, shift your weight to the uphill
