| Symbol | Name | Color | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Master Warning (Stop) | RED | A major fault has occurred in a critical system of the CPCD25, requiring you to stop immediately. | Safely park the forklift and investigate the cause before continuing. | |
| Check Engine (MIL) | AMBER | The engine control unit has detected an issue affecting performance or emissions on your CPCD25. | Schedule diagnostic service as soon as possible to prevent damage. | |
| Engine Oil Pressure | RED | Engine oil pressure has dropped below safe levels, risking severe engine damage in the CPCD25. | Shut down the engine immediately and check oil level and leaks. | |
| Battery / Charging | RED | The alternator is not charging the battery, or the battery voltage is critically low in this forklift. | Inspect the charging system and battery connections before restarting. | |
| Coolant Temperature | RED | The coolant temperature has reached a dangerous level, risking engine overheating in the CPCD25. | Stop operation, allow the engine to cool, and check coolant level. | |
| Low Fuel | AMBER | Fuel level is low and the CPCD25 will soon run out if not refueled. | Refuel at the next opportunity to avoid unexpected shutdown. | |
| Hydraulic System | AMBER | A hydraulic system warning has been detected, which may affect lifting or steering functions. | Inspect for hydraulic leaks or low fluid and schedule service if needed. | |
| Hydraulic Oil | AMBER | Hydraulic oil level or quality is below recommended standards in the Hangcha CPCD25. | Check and top up hydraulic oil; replace if contaminated. | |
| Brake System | RED | A serious fault in the brake system has been detected, compromising stopping ability. | Cease operation and have the brakes inspected immediately. | |
| Parking Brake | RED | The parking brake is engaged while the forklift is running or in gear. | Release the parking brake before driving. | |
| Seat Belt | AMBER | The operator seat belt is not fastened while the engine is running. | Buckle the seat belt before operating the CPCD25. | |
| Air Filter | AMBER | Air filter restriction detected, which can reduce engine efficiency. | Clean or replace the air filter to maintain optimal engine performance. | |
| Fuel Filter / Water Separator | AMBER | Water or blockage detected in the fuel filter, risking poor engine operation. | Drain the water separator and replace the filter if necessary. | |
| Service / Hour Meter | AMBER | Scheduled maintenance interval reached based on engine hours. | Arrange for regular service of the CPCD25 as indicated. | |
| Work Lights | GREEN | Work lights are currently switched on to illuminate the work area. | No action required unless lights are not needed. | |
| Beacon / Rotating Light | AMBER | The safety beacon is active, alerting others to the forklift’s operation. | Ensure the beacon is functioning in high-traffic or low-visibility areas. | |
| Overload / Capacity | RED | The load exceeds the rated lifting capacity of the Hangcha CPCD25. | Lower the load immediately and verify weight before lifting. |

Most Important Warning Lights
Engine Oil Pressure
Common causes
- Low oil level
- Oil pump failure
- Blocked oil filter
What to do
Stop the CPCD25 engine, check oil level, and top up if necessary. If the warning persists, have a qualified technician inspect for internal faults.
Coolant Temperature
Common causes
- Low coolant level
- Radiator blockage
- Faulty thermostat
What to do
Allow the engine to cool, check coolant reservoir, and refill as needed. Inspect for leaks or blocked airflow and repair as required.
Brake System
Common causes
- Worn brake pads or shoes
- Brake fluid leak
- Hydraulic failure
What to do
Do not operate the CPCD25 until brakes are inspected and repaired. Replace worn components and fix any leaks before returning to service.
Overload / Capacity
Common causes
- Attempting to lift loads above rated capacity
- Incorrect load positioning
- Unbalanced load
What to do
Lower the load and ensure it is within the forklift’s rated limits. Always check the load chart and position forks correctly to prevent tipping.
Battery / Charging
Common causes
- Faulty alternator
- Loose battery terminals
- Aged or damaged battery
What to do
Inspect the battery and charging system for faults. Tighten connections, replace the battery if needed, or repair the alternator.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the master warning light comes on in my Hangcha CPCD25?
Stop the forklift immediately, investigate the fault shown on the display, and do not resume operation until the issue is resolved.
How often should I service my CPCD25 based on the hour meter?
Follow the service intervals listed in the operator’s manual, typically every 250 hours or as indicated by the hour meter warning.
Why does the overload light activate even when I think the load is within capacity?
The sensor may detect improper load positioning or unbalanced weight; always check the load chart and ensure even distribution.
What does it mean if the hydraulic oil light stays on after topping up?
Persistent warning may indicate a leak, contaminated oil, or a sensor issue; inspect the hydraulic system for faults.
Can I drive the CPCD25 if the seat belt warning is illuminated?
You should always fasten the seat belt before operating the forklift for safety and compliance.
