1.9 GENERAL INFORMATION GLOSSARY OF TERMS ABDC: After bottom dead center. ACV: Alternating current voltage. Alternator: Electrical generator producing voltage alternating current. ATDC: After top dead center. BBDC: Before bottom dead center. BDC: Bottom dead center. BTDC: Before top dead center. CC: Cubic centimeters. Center Distance: Distance between center of crankshaft and center of driven clutch shaft. Chain Pitch: Distance between chain link pins (No. 35 = 3/8, or 1 cm). Polaris measures chain length in number of pitches. Crankshaft Run-Out: Run-out or "bend" of crankshaft measured with a dial indicator while crankshaft is supported between centers on V blocks or resting in crankcase. Measure at various points especially at PTO. DCV: Direct current voltage. Electrical Open: Open circuit. An electrical circuit which isn't complete. Electrical Short: Short circuit. An electrical circuit which is completed before the current reaches the intended load. (i.e. a bare wire touching the chassis). Engagement RPM: Engine RPM at which the drive clutch engages to make contact with the drive belt. ft.: Foot/feet. Ft. lb. / Foot Pound: A force of one pound at the end of a lever one foot in length, applied in a rotational direction. g: Gram. Unit of weight in the metric system. gal.: Gallon. ID: Inside diameter. in.: Inch/inches. Inch Pound: In. lb. 12 in. lbs. = 1 ft. lb. kg/cm: Kilograms per square centimeter. kg-m: Kilogram meters. Kilogram/meter: A force of one kilogram at the end of a lever one meter in length, applied in a rotational direction. l or ltr: Liter. Left Side: Always referred to based on normal operating position of the driver. m: Meter/meters. Mag: Magneto. Magnetic Induction: As a conductor (coil) is moved through a magnetic field, a voltage will be generated in the windings. Mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy in the stator. mi.: Mile/miles. mm: Millimeter. Unit of length in the metric system. 1mm = approximately .040,. Nm: Newton meters. OD: Outside diameter. Ohm: The unit of electrical resistance opposing current flow. oz.: Ounce/ounces. Piston Clearance: Total distance between piston and cylinder wall. psi.: Pounds per square inch. PTO: Power take off. qt.: Quart/quarts. RPM: Revolutions per minute. Regulator: Voltage regulator. Regulates battery charging system output at approx. 14.5 DCV as engine RPM increases. Resistance: In the mechanical sense, friction or load. In the electrical sense, ohms. Both result in energy conversion to heat. Right Side: Always referred to based on normal operating position of the driver. RPM: Revolutions per minute. Seized Piston: Galling of the sides of a piston. Usually there is a transfer of aluminum from the piston onto the cylinder wall. Possible causes: 1) improper lubrication; 2) excessive temperatures; 3) insufficient piston clearance; 4) stuck piston rings. Stator Plate: The plate mounted under the flywheel supporting the battery charging coils. TDC: Top dead center. Piston's most outward travel from crankshaft. Volt: The unit of measure for electrical pressure of electromotive force. Measured by a voltmeter in parallel with the circuit. Watt: Unit of electrical power. Watts = amperes x volts. WOT: Wide open throttle.
