Hitachi MV2-40 is the 24 volt screw in shutoff solenoid with a threaded hex body, a plain plunger pin and a white three pin plug on a short grey lead. It is used on Hitachi EX40U and ZX40U mini excavators. This aftermarket version has the same mounting and electrical connector as the original, so it plugs in and bolts on where the old one came off.
The same part is also sold as 897209-1152.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Applications & use cases
Engine will not start or will not stop
A failed fuel shutoff solenoid holds the fuel off (no start) or will not cut it (no stop). Check power at the plug first.
Engine cuts out
A weak pull-in or hold coil lets the solenoid drop out under vibration and the engine stalls.
Sticking plunger
Dirt and corrosion stop the plunger moving freely. Replacing the solenoid is quicker than freeing an old one.
Fleet spares
A spare solenoid on the van turns a no-start into a quick fix on site.

Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my Hitachi EX40U?
Yes, it was made for the Hitachi EX40U, and 3 more listed under compatible equipment. Check the old solenoid is marked MV2-40 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
How often should I replace the solenoid on my Hitachi EX40U?
On the Hitachi EX40U, there is no fixed interval. It is changed when it fails, and many fail from water in the plug or chafed wiring rather than wear.
What are the signs the solenoid needs replacing?
A fault code for this circuit, readings that jump or stay fixed, or a part that does not respond with power at the plug.
Do the fault codes need clearing?
Usually. Clear them after fitting and run the machine, so old codes are not mistaken for a new fault.
Does the voltage matter?
Yes. Many machines have 12 V and 24 V versions of the same solenoid. Check the old part or the machine plate before fitting.
Is this a genuine Hitachi MV2-40?
No. It is an aftermarket solenoid made to replace the Hitachi MV2-40. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
