Why won't my Hitachi ZAXIS 180-3 class Excavators engine start?

If your Hitachi Excavator's engine won't start, it might be due to a discharged battery. Try charging or replacing the battery. Alternatively, check for disconnected, loose, or corroded battery terminals; repair any corrosion and ensure the connectors are securely tightened. Also, make sure the pilot control shut-off lever is pulled up, not lowered. Check the starter ground line terminals for corrosion and tightness. If the issue persists, it could be a faulty pilot control shut-off lever electrical system, too high engine oil viscosity, or a faulty starter and/or electrical system, which may require assistance from an authorized dealer.
