Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the Battery Discharge (BDI) light comes on during a shift?
Plan to finish your current task and recharge the CPD25's battery soon, as continued use may reduce performance or cause an automatic shutdown.
How do I reset the Service / Hour Meter light after maintenance?
After completing scheduled maintenance on the CPD25, use the dashboard menu or consult the manual for the specific reset procedure.
Why does the Overload light activate even with light loads?
A faulty load sensor or wiring can trigger the overload warning; have the system inspected if the light comes on without exceeding capacity.
Is it safe to operate the CPD25 if the Master Caution light is illuminated?
While not immediately dangerous, you should review the cause and arrange for repairs soon to prevent escalation to a more serious fault.
What does it mean if the Parking Brake light stays on after releasing the brake?
This may indicate an improperly released brake or a sensor issue; double-check the brake and seek service if the light remains.
