  If your Hatz Diesel Engine doesn't start in low temperatures, and the fuel that emerges from the fuel feed line is clear and not cloudy, check whether the fuel has gelled. If it has, either thaw the engine or drain the entire fuel supply system and refill with a temperature-resistant fuel mixture. Change the engine oil and oil filter and add engine oil with a suitable viscosity class if the oil is too viscous. Check the battery and contact the service center if needed, if it is insufficiently charged. If possible, separate the engine from the machine by uncoupling it.

  If your Hatz Diesel Engine doesn't start immediately but turns, ensure the speed control lever is not in the "STOP" position. Depending on the situation, move it to either the 1/2 start or max START position and secure it. Also, check the fuel supply system, including refueling if necessary, activating the manual lever or fuel pump, checking the fuel prefilter and main fuel filter, and verifying the feed pump function. Contact Hatz service if the injection nozzle is not working.

  If your Hatz Diesel Engine is losing power and speed, try blocking the speed adjustment lever to keep it in the desired position. Ensure adequate fuel supply by adding fuel if the tank is empty, changing the fuel filter if it's clogged, ensuring the tank is vented properly, and checking line screw connections for leaks.

  Michael HaleSep 1, 2025
  If your Hatz Diesel Engine starts but doesn't continue running after the starter is switched off, make sure the speed control lever is properly set to the Start position. If possible, uncouple the engine from the machine. Check and replace the fuel prefilter and main fuel filter if they are clogged. Systematically check the entire fuel supply. Also, check the oil level if there is a stop signal from monitoring elements due to no oil pressure. For a faulty three-phase alternator, contact Hatz service.

  Jessica DavisSep 5, 2025
  If your Hatz Diesel Engine switches off spontaneously during operation, first, add fuel if the tank is empty. If the fuel prefilter or main fuel filter is clogged, change the fuel filter. If the poly v-belt is torn, replace it. Clean or renew the air filter if it is dirty. For mechanical faults or problems with the exhaust gas return system, contact Hatz service.
