Do not mount an accessory where it could in-
terfere with your ability to control the ATV. Ex-
amples include (but are not limited to) a heavy
or bulky object attached to the handlebars
which could make steering difficult, an acces-
sory that limits your ability to move around on
the seat, or one that limits your view.


Use extra caution when riding an ATV with ac-
cessories. The ATV may handle differently
than it does without accessories.

Loading
As originally equipped, this ATV is not designed to
carry cargo or tow a trailer. If you choose to add
accessories so that you can carry cargo or tow a
trailer, you must use common sense and good
judgement. Keep the following points in mind:

7-43 1. Lean towards inside of turn.
2. Support your weight on the outer footboard.
1. Se pencher vers l’intérieur du virage.
2. S’appuyer sur le repose- pied extérieur.
1. Inclínese hacia el interior del giro.
2. Descanse su peso en el descansapie exterior.
As you approach a curve, slow down and begin to
turn the handlebars in the desired direction. As
you do so, put your weight on the footboard to the
outside of the turn (opposite your desired direc-
tion) and lean your upper body into the turn. Use
the throttle to maintain an even speed through the
turn. This maneuver will let the wheel on the inside
of the turn slip slightly, allowing the ATV to make
the turn properly.
This procedure should be practiced at slow speed
many times in a large off-road area with no obsta-
cles. 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 proce-
dure 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.
