PARKING
After stopping the ATV according to
the “BRAKING” section, shift to neu-
tral. Neutral position can be confirmed
by observing the neutral indicator
light. Park the ATV on a flat surface
and set the parking brake lock. Turn
the ignition switch to the “OFF” posi-
tion. Always remove the key from the
ATV when leaving the ATV.
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 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
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.
