Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the BDI battery light comes on while using the Heli CPD25?
You should finish your current task and plan to recharge the battery soon, as continued use may trigger an automatic power cut-off.
Why does the hydraulic oil light turn on during long shifts?
Extended operation can cause oil temperature to rise or levels to drop; check the reservoir and allow the system to cool if needed.
Can I operate the CPD25 if the overload light flashes briefly?
No, always lower the load and verify the weight before proceeding, as exceeding the rated capacity risks damage and safety.
How often should the hour meter/service light prompt maintenance?
Service intervals are typically every 500 hours for the Heli CPD25, but refer to your manual for the exact schedule.
Is it safe to drive with the parking brake light on?
No, ensure the parking brake is fully released before moving to prevent brake wear and potential damage.
