3. The meter must show 50-60 ohms.



NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified, trou-

bleshoot or replace the connector or the fan.



NOTE: To determine if the fan motor is good, con-

nect the blue wire from the fan connector to a 12 volt
DC power supply; then connect the black wire from
the fan connector to ground. The fan should operate.

Fuse Block

The fuses are located in a fuse block under the seat.

If there is any type of electrical system failure, always

check the fuses first.



NOTE: To remove a fuse, compress the locking tabs

on either side of the fuse case and lift out.

KM102



NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the LIGHTS

position.

1. Remove all fuses from the fuse block.

2. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.

3. Connect the black tester lead to ground.

4. Using the red tester lead, contact each end of the 30

amp fuse holder connector terminals individually.

5. The meter must show battery voltage from one side

of the connector terminal ends.

6. Install the 30 amp fuse; then using the red tester lead,

check the remaining two fuse holder connectors as in

step 4.



NOTE: Battery voltage will be indicated from only

one side of the fuse holder connector terminal; the
other side will show no voltage.



NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage, trouble-

shoot the battery, fuse block, or the main wiring harness.

Fuses

1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.

2. Connect the red tester lead to one spade end of the

fuse; then connect the black tester lead to the other

spade end.

AR610D

3. The meter must show less than 1 ohm resistance. If

the meter reads open, replace the fuse.



NOTE: Make sure the fuses are returned to their

proper position according to amperage. Refer to the
fuse block cover for fuse placement.

Ignition Coil

The ignition coil is on the left side of the frame above the

engine. To access the coil on the Utility, the left side

panel must be removed (see Steering/Frame).

PEAK VOLTAGE (Primary/CDI Side)



NOTE: All of the peak voltage tests should be made

using the Fluke Model 77 Multimeter with Peak Volt-
age Reading Adapter. If any other type of tester is
used, readings may vary due to internal circuitry.



NOTE: The battery must be at full charge for these tests.



NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the ON posi-

tion; the emergency stop switch must be in the RUN
position. Also, the white/blue wire must be discon-
nected from the coil.

1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.

2. Connect the red tester lead to the black/white wire; then

connect the black tester lead to the green/gray wire.

3. The meter reading must be within specifications.



NOTE: If the voltage is not as specified in the above

test, inspect the main wiring harness, main fuse, igni-
tion fuse, ignition switch, or engine stop switch.

RESISTANCE



NOTE: For these tests, the meter selector must be

set to the OHMS position.

! WARNING

Care should be taken to keep clear of the fan blades.
