TURNING
DTVs are different than many other types
of vehicles in that turning is controlled by
the weight of the rider shifting right or left.
FOR HIGHER SPEEDS OR SHARPER TURNS
Depending on the speed going into a turn,
the rider will need to adjust body weight
accordingly. For faster speeds the rider
will need to shift more body weight to the
inside of the turn. The important factor in
turning is doing so under control. Make
sure the capabilities of the rider can match
the maneuver. Practice turning on a
obstacle free dirt surface.
Steps for proper turning: Practice these
steps on a at, level, obstacle free surface.
1. Let off the throttle to slow down before
a turn. The vehicle decelerates very quickly
on its own due to the resistance of the
tracks. Use brakes if necessary.
Decelerating during a turn can easily
cause a loss of balance and control, so
make sure to slow down prior to turning .
2. Once slow enough to make the turn,
move body weight to the inside of the turn.
3. Look into the direction of the turn while
shifting weight to the inside of the turn.
4. Once turned in the proper direction
shift body weight back to the center of the
Deck.
Improper turning techniques could be
hazardous
The DTV could roll over or the rider could
be thrown from the DTV which could lead
to severe injury or death.
Follow the turning steps listed in this
owner’s manual, practice turning at slow
speeds on a at obstacle free dirt surface.

WARNING
Braking while turning could be hazardous.
Braking while turning could cause the DTV
to roll over or slide into an object
which could result in severe injury or
death.
Before making a turn, slow down and
release the brake.
