Most Important Warning Lights
Engine Oil Pressure
Common causes
- Low oil level from leaks or consumption
- Faulty oil pump
- Blocked oil filter
What to do
Immediately shut down the H60XM, check oil level, and inspect for leaks or filter blockage before restarting.
Coolant Temperature
Common causes
- Low coolant level
- Radiator blockage
- Faulty thermostat
What to do
Allow the H60XM to cool fully, then check coolant and inspect the radiator for obstructions; repair any leaks found.
Overload / Capacity
Common causes
- Attempting to lift a load above rated capacity
- Incorrect load placement
- Faulty load sensor
What to do
Lower the load and ensure it is within the H60XM's rated capacity; recalibrate or repair sensors if warnings persist.
Brake System
Common causes
- Low brake fluid
- Worn brake pads
- Hydraulic brake line leak
What to do
Inspect fluid levels and brake components, and repair or replace any faulty parts before returning the H60XM to service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the hydraulic system warning appears on my H60XM?
Stop using the hydraulic functions, check fluid levels, and inspect for obvious leaks; have a technician diagnose persistent issues.
Can I continue working if the fuel filter light is on?
It's best to address it soon, as a clogged filter can reduce performance and eventually stall the engine.
Why does the seat belt light stay on even after buckling?
Check the seat belt switch for proper engagement or possible wiring issues under the seat.
How often should I service my H60XM according to the hour meter?
Follow the intervals listed in your operator’s manual, typically every 250 hours for standard maintenance.
What does the overload warning mean on the H60XM?
It means the load on the forks exceeds the rated lifting capacity; reduce the load to avoid tipping or mechanical damage.
