  If your Hisun Motors Utility Vehicle's engine won't start, several factors could be at play. First, check the battery voltage. Also, inspect for loose or corroded battery connections; if found, wearing safety glasses, remove and clean them using a wire brush or battery terminal cleaner, then reinstall tightly, ensuring they don't move. Wash your hands thoroughly afterward. Ensure the fuse is not blown by visually inspecting it. Also, inspect the spark plug wire to ensure it is connected properly. The unit should contain at least 1/4 tank of clean fuel. For other potential issues such as a plugged fuel filter, defective starter solenoid, or open-circuit in wiring, it is best to contact your local authorized dealer for service.

What should I do if my Hisun Motors Utility Vehicle engine overheats?
- K
  Katherine ClarkSep 1, 2025
  If your Hisun Motors Utility Vehicle engine overheats, check if the cooling fan is turning on when the unit is running or the key switch is in the run position. If the fan isn't working, check the fuses. If the fuses are fine, let the unit cool down before using it again. Check the fluid level in the overflow reservoir and add coolant as needed, but never add coolant or remove the radiator cap on a warm or hot engine. Inspect and clean or replace the air filter as needed, ensuring the housing is properly closed after inspection or replacement. Ensure the engine oil level is correct after the engine has cooled. Clean the radiator fins using a garden hose with a sprayer. If overheating continues, contact your local authorized dealer for servicing.

  If your Hisun Motors Utility Vehicle will not move, check the dash display to ensure the shift lever is in gear and the desired direction of travel is indicated. Also, check the dash display to see if the Parking Brake indicator is illuminated; if it is, fully release the parking brake. If the engine RPMs increase but the unit won't move, record the RPM value and contact your local authorized dealer for service, as it could be a failed drive belt or slipping clutch.
