Hangcha CPQD25 Warning Light Symbols
| Symbol | Name | Color | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Master Warning (Stop) | RED | A critical fault has been detected by the CPQD25's monitoring system, potentially impacting safe operation. | Safely stop the forklift and investigate the cause before resuming work. | |
| Check Engine (MIL) | AMBER | The engine control unit has detected a malfunction specific to the CPQD25’s LPG or gasoline engine. | Schedule a diagnostic scan and address the issue to avoid performance loss. | |
| Engine Oil Pressure | RED | Engine oil pressure has dropped below safe limits for the CPQD25, risking engine damage. | Shut down the engine immediately and check oil level and system for leaks. | |
| Battery / Charging | RED | The charging system is not maintaining voltage, which can quickly drain the CPQD25’s battery. | Inspect alternator, wiring, and battery connections before continuing use. | |
| Coolant Temperature | RED | Engine coolant temperature has exceeded safe limits on the CPQD25. | Stop the forklift, allow it to cool, and check coolant level and radiator. | |
| Brake System | RED | A malfunction in the CPQD25's hydraulic brake system has been detected. | Do not operate the forklift until brakes are inspected and repaired. | |
| Parking Brake | RED | The parking brake is engaged, preventing the CPQD25 from moving. | Release the parking brake fully before attempting to drive. | |
| Low Fuel | AMBER | The CPQD25’s fuel tank is nearing empty, risking engine shutdown. | Refuel as soon as possible to avoid operational interruptions. | |
| Hydraulic System | AMBER | A hydraulic fault or low fluid level has been identified in the CPQD25’s lift system. | Check hydraulic oil level and inspect for leaks before using the mast. | |
| Hydraulic Oil | AMBER | Hydraulic oil temperature or level is outside normal range for the CPQD25. | Top up hydraulic oil and inspect for contamination or overheating. | |
| Service / Hour Meter | AMBER | Scheduled service interval has been reached based on the CPQD25’s operating hours. | Arrange for maintenance according to the service schedule to maintain reliability. | |
| Seat Belt | AMBER | The operator’s seatbelt is not fastened while the CPQD25 is in operation. | Buckle the seatbelt before operating the forklift. | |
| Work Lights | GREEN | The CPQD25’s work lights are turned on to improve visibility. | No action needed unless lights are not required. | |
| Beacon / Rotating Light | AMBER | The safety beacon is activated, alerting others to the CPQD25’s operation. | Ensure the beacon is functioning during forklift use in shared areas. | |
| Overload / Capacity | RED | The CPQD25’s load exceeds its rated capacity, risking tipping or damage. | Lower the load immediately and verify it is within specified limits. | |
| Air Filter | AMBER | The air filter on the CPQD25 is clogged, reducing engine efficiency. | Clean or replace the air filter to restore normal airflow. | |
| Fuel Filter / Water Separator | AMBER | The CPQD25’s fuel filter is restricted or water has been detected in the separator. | Drain water and replace the filter to prevent engine issues. |
