  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.

  If your Hitachi Excavator's engine fails to start, begin by inspecting the battery terminals for looseness, disconnection, or corrosion. Correct any corrosion and ensure they are securely tightened. Also, verify that the pilot control shut-off lever is in the upward position. Another potential cause is a discharged battery, which would require charging or replacement.

  To troubleshoot why your Hitachi Excavator engine won't start, first check the battery. A discharged battery is a common cause, so try charging or replacing it. Next, inspect the battery terminals and starter ground line terminals for any signs of disconnection, looseness, or corrosion; repair and securely tighten as needed. Ensure the pilot control shut-off lever is pulled up. For issues related to the pilot control shut-off lever electrical system, engine oil viscosity, or starter/electrical system, consult your authorized dealer.
