Making Turns
Practice making turns at slow speeds.
Polaris ATVs are equipped with a solid rear axle which drives both rear wheels
equallyatalltimes. This means thatthewheelon theoutsideof the turn musttravel
a greater distance than the inside wheel when turning and the inside tire must slip
traction slightly. To turn, steer in the direction of the turn leaning your upper body
to the inside of the turn while supporting your weight on the outer footrest. This
technique alters the balance of traction between the rear wheels allowing the turn
to be made smoothly. The same leaning technique should be used for turning in
reverse. WARNING: Avoid turning at sharp angles in reverse as tipover and seri-
ous injury may result.
