Amperage; Basic Service Methods - Hisun HS700UTV-4 Maintenance Handbook

Resistance is measured in an inactive circuit with an ohmmeter. The ohmmeter sends a small
amount of current into the circuit and measures how difficult it is to push the current through the circuit.
An ohmmeter, although useful, is not always a good indicator of a circuit's actual ability under
operating conditions. This is because of the low voltage (6-9 volts) the meter uses to test the circuit.
The voltage in an ignition coil secondary winding can be several thousand volts. Such high voltage can
cause the coil to malfunction, even though it tests acceptable during a resistance test.
Resistance generally. Increases with temperature. Perform all testing with the component or
circuit at room temperature. Resistance tests performed at high temperatures may indicate high
resistance readings and cause unnecessary replacement of a component.

Amperage

Amperage is the unit of measurement for the amount of current within a circuit. Current is the
actual flow of electricity. The higher the current, the more work can be performed up to a given point. If
the current flow exceeds the circuit or component capacity, it will damage the system.
If the current insulation damage, may cause short circuit fault which lead to short circuit
or large current in components. It may cause a fire.
Thus, if the current of circuit or components measured by amperage exceeds the
standard level, must check and repair electrical system at once.
Most of the procedures in this manual are straightforward and can be performed by anyone
reasonably competent with tools. However, consider personal capabilities carefully before attempting
any operation involving major disassembly.
1. Front, in this manual, riders to the front of the UTV, The front of any component is the end closest
to the front the UTV. The left and right sides refer to the position of the parts as viewed by the
rider sitting on the seat facing forward.
2. Whenever servicing an engine or suspension component, secure the UTV in a safe manner.
3. Tag all similar parts for location and mark all mating parts for position. Record the number and
thickness of any shims when removing them. Identify parts by placing them in sealed and labeled
plastic sandwich bags.
4. Tag disconnected wires and connectors with masking tape and a marking pen. Do not rely on
memory alone.
5. Protect finished surfaces from physical damage or corrosion. Keep gasoline and other chemicals
off painted surfaces.
6. Use penetrating oil on frozen or tight bolts. Avoid using heat where possible. Heat can warp, melt
or affect the temper of parts. Heat also damages the finish of paint and plastics.
7. When a part is a press fit or requires a special tool to remove, the information or type of tool is
identified in the text. Otherwise, if a part is difficult to remove or install, determine the cause
