Why does my Ammann APH 6530 ACEforce Construction Equipment engine stop by itself during regular operation?
- L
  Lindsay SanchezAug 6, 2025
  Your Ammann Construction Equipment engine might stop during operation due to several reasons: * The fuel supply could be interrupted. * The fuel tank may be empty. * The fuel filter could be blocked. * The feed pump might be defective. * There could be a loss of oil pressure. In the first four cases, add fuel or renew the fuel filter. Check the engine oil level if oil pressure is lost. For mechanical defects, contact a HATZ service station.

  If your Ammann Construction Equipment engine doesn't start, consider these potential causes: * The speed control lever might be in the «STOP» position. * Fuel might not be reaching the injection pump. * The fuel tank could be empty. * The fuel filter might be blocked. * The feed pump could be defective. * Oil pressure may be lost. To resolve this, ensure the lever is in the «START» position, add fuel if needed, or renew the fuel filter. The function of the feed pump must be checked and check the engine oil level. For low compression, contact a HATZ service station.

Why is the engine performance reduced in my Ammann APH 6530 ACEforce?
- K
  Kristina GibsonAug 21, 2025
  Reduced engine performance in your Ammann Construction Equipment can stem from: * An obstructed fuel supply * An empty fuel tank * A blocked fuel filter * Inadequate tank venting * Leaks at pipe unions * A blocked air cleaner * Incorrect valve clearance * Too much oil in the engine or exciter To address this, add fuel, renew the fuel filter, ensure adequate tank venting, check threaded pipe unions, remove dirt from the air cleaner, adjust the valve clearance, and drain excess oil from the engine or check the exciter oil level. If the problem is a default in the hydraulic system, contact an Ammann service station.

What to do if the engine runs, but the Ammann APH 6530 ACEforce Construction Equipment does not move forward?
- M
  Monica StewartAug 29, 2025
  If the engine of your Ammann Construction Equipment runs but the machine doesn't move, check the exciter oil level, as there might be too much oil in it. If the issue persists, there may be a default in the hydraulic system, in that case contact an Ammann service station.
