6.  Troubleshooting 

 
6.1   The engine fails to start

 

Check position of the choke switch                   

è

 

Cold engine in "CHOKE" position.  Hot engine in 
“RUN” position.. 

Check the fuel level                                           

è

 

If empty, refill making sure not to spill any fuel. 

Check the spark plug.                                        

è

 

Make sure cap is tight, if tight remove spark plug 
and check for contamination or defect. 

Check the position of the directional valve.     

 

è

 

Check the position of the directional valve which 
must be in the NEUTRAL position. 

Check the fuel shutoff valve                              

è

 

Set the fuel shutoff valve to the “OPEN” position 

 
 

6.2  The connected equipment is not operating - or not properly.

 

 

Check the position of the directional valve.         

è

 

Reposition handle to “OPERATION”  position 1 or 
2 that the equipment is connected to. 

Check the pump oil level.                                       

è

 

Refill with hydraulic oil if low. 

Check  the connections(quick-action couplings)

 

è

                                            

Relieve the pressure (neutral position) and connect 
the couplings again. 

The quick-action couplings cannot  

be connected                                                       

è

 

Release pressure at pump by switching handle to the 
“NEUTRAL” position. Reconnect the connections. 

Check the vent shutoff valve                              

è

 

 

The vent shutoff valve should be CLOSED.  The 
valve is closed when the tab is perpendicular to the 
connected vent line tube

.  If this valve is OPEN, 

contact  your dealer.

  

 
 

6.3  The engine suddenly stops.

 

 
 

Check the fuel level                                          

è

 

If empty, refill making sure not to spill any fuel. 

Is the pump not in a horizontal position?          

è

 

Move the pump.  The maximum incline is 20

°

 
 
Consult your dealer in case of other problems or if the solutions provided above do not have the required results. 
 

Caution: If the pump must be returned to an authorized repair facility, ensure that the fuel 
tank is empty and the engine oil removed.   

 
ALWAYS SHIP THE PPU15 POWER UNIT IN ITS ORIGINAL SHIPPING BOX WITH FOAM 
INSERTS. 
Ship the pump with the red shipping cap on the hydraulic tank and re-attach the caution label. Also ship the 
orange oil breather cap with the unit.
