WARNING
RIDING THE DTV
14
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.
!
WARNING
RIDING THE DTV

Riding a DTV on hills could be hazardous
Riding a DTV on a hill could result in rolling over while traversing, ipping over backwards while climbing, ipping over while descending, general loss of control of the DTV. Any of these accidents on a hill could result in severe injury of death.
Never operate a DTV on steep hills, never operate a DTV on any hill that is above the riders ability to do so. Practice riding the DTV on small hills using the hill riding techniques listed in this owner’s manual.
!
WARNING
RIDING ON HILLS
Climbing a hill
1. Stop and evaluate the hill before attempting to climb. Make sure the hill is not too steep, the terrain is not loose or slippery and that there are no obstacles.
2. Approach the hill at a steady speed and maintain speed throughout the climb.
3. Shift body weight forward during the climb.
4. Adjust the angle of the handle forward using the handle lock release lever (page 5).
5. When approaching the top of the hill, slow down.
If it is determined that the DTV will not make it to the top of the hill:
1. Do not try to turn the DTV around while riding and come back down, this could cause the DTV to roll over. Instead, once the DTV has stopped, dismount the DTV while applying the brake
RIDING THE DTV
2. Stand beside or behind the DTV, lower the handle enough to reach the hand controls, keep one hand ready to apply the brakes and use the throttle gently to drive forward.
16
Descending a hill
To operate the DTV down a hill, follow the instructions below.
1. Stop and evaluate the hill before attempting to descend. Make sure the hill is not too steep, the terrain is not loose or slippery and that there are no obstacles.
2. Do not go down the hill on a sharp angle, this could cause the DTV to ip over. Instead, go straight down the hill.
3. Place body weight to the rear of the DTV.
4. Adjust the angle of the handle backward using the handle lock release lever (page 5)
5. Drive downhill slowly. Apply just enough throttle to keep the clutch engaged. This will allow engine compression to help slow the machine and prevent the DTV from rolling freely downhill.
Traversing is an advanced maneuver due to the fact that leaning uphill also causes uphill steering simultaneously. Only attempt traversing with the recommended safety gear, and after you feel comfortable enough with your riding skill level.
Traversing a hill improperly could be hazardous.
Traversing a hill improperly could result in loosing control and ipping the DTV over. This could result in severe injury or death.
!
WARNING
Traversing a hill
RIDING THE DTV
Riding over large obstacles could be hazardous.
Riding over large obstacles could cause loss of control and cause the DTV to turn over which could result in severe injury or death.
Never attempt to ride over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always make sure to follow the instructions in this manual when riding over obstacles.
You are almost certain to meet obstacles on most trails, if you meet an obstacle that is too large, turn the DTV around and do not attempt it. If an obstacle is not too large and you have the knowledge and ability (knowing the proper technique), you can cross it by applying the following steps:
1. Go slow while approaching the obstacle.
2. Right before the obstacle give the DTV some throttle and pull back on the handlebars so the tracks go up over the Obstacle.
3. Keep going slowly until the rear of the track clears the obstacle.

Steering Adjustment
If the DTV pulls to the left or the right when attempting to ride a straight line, adjust the steering connecting rod length to bring it back to centre (rst ensure it’s not because the deck is being tilted inadvertently while riding). Turn the rod clockwise to shorten it and bias the steering to the left. Turn the rod counter­clockwise to lengthen it and bias the steering to the right.
Steering Adjustment
Adjusting the deck tilting resistance is accomplished through the pivot bolts. Turning the bolts clockwise will make deck tilt feel stiffer, which is better suited for heavier riders or for more stability at high speeds. Turning the bolts counter-clock­wise will make deck tilt easier.
