Doosan Forklift D30S-7 Warning Light Symbols

SymbolNameColorWhat it meansWhat to do
Master Warning (Stop)REDA critical malfunction has been detected in a vital system of the D30S-7, such as engine or hydraulic failure.Immediately stop the forklift in a safe place and turn off the engine.
Master CautionAMBERA non-critical fault or warning has been detected in the D30S-7, such as a sensor issue or minor system alert.Review the cluster for further details and schedule inspection soon.
Check Engine (MIL)AMBERThe D30S-7's engine management system has identified a problem affecting performance or emissions.Continue operation with caution and arrange for diagnostics as soon as possible.
Engine Oil PressureREDEngine oil pressure has dropped dangerously low, risking engine damage on the D30S-7.Shut off the engine immediately and check oil level and leaks.
Battery / ChargingREDThe D30S-7's charging system is not working, and the battery is not being replenished.Stop operation, inspect the alternator belt, and check battery connections.
Coolant TemperatureREDThe engine coolant temperature is dangerously high, risking overheating on the D30S-7.Turn off the engine and allow it to cool; check coolant level.
Brake SystemREDA serious problem with the D30S-7's braking system has been detected.Stop the forklift and do not operate until brakes are inspected.
PParking BrakeREDThe parking brake is engaged while the D30S-7 is running.Release the parking brake before moving.
Low FuelAMBERThe fuel level in the D30S-7's tank is low and will soon require refilling.Plan to refuel at the next opportunity.
Glow Plug / PreheatAMBERThe D30S-7's glow plugs are preheating the engine for cold start.Wait for the light to turn off before starting the engine.
DPF / RegenerationAMBERThe diesel particulate filter on the D30S-7 needs regeneration due to soot buildup.Follow the regeneration procedure as outlined in the operator's manual.
DEF / AdBlueAMBERDEF (AdBlue) level is low in the D30S-7, which may affect emissions control.Refill the DEF tank to avoid engine power reduction.
Water in FuelAMBERWater contamination has been detected in the D30S-7's fuel system.Drain the water separator promptly to prevent injector damage.
Hydraulic SystemAMBERA hydraulic system warning has been detected in the D30S-7, possibly due to low fluid or high temperature.Check hydraulic fluid level and inspect for leaks.
Hydraulic OilAMBERThe D30S-7's hydraulic oil level is low or the oil is overheated.Top off hydraulic oil and monitor for recurring issues.
Air FilterAMBERThe D30S-7's air filter is clogged, reducing engine efficiency.Inspect and replace the air filter as needed.
Fuel Filter / Water SeparatorAMBERThe fuel filter on the D30S-7 is restricted or the water separator needs servicing.Replace the fuel filter and drain any water collected.
Service / Hour MeterAMBERScheduled maintenance is due based on the D30S-7's engine hours.Arrange for scheduled service as soon as possible.
Work LightsGREENThe D30S-7's work lights are switched on for enhanced visibility.No action needed unless lights are not required.
Beacon / Rotating LightAMBERThe beacon light on the D30S-7 is active to alert others of forklift operation.Ensure beacon is on in high-traffic or required safety areas.
Overload / CapacityREDThe D30S-7 has detected a load above its rated lifting capacity.Lower the load immediately and reduce weight to within limits.
