Most Important Warning Lights
Overload / Capacity
Common causes
- Attempting to lift a load heavier than the rated maximum
- Incorrectly positioned load causing sensor activation
- Faulty load sensor misreading
What to do
Immediately lower the load and check its weight; if the warning continues with no load, have the load sensor system inspected by qualified personnel.
Master Warning (Stop)
Common causes
- Severe electrical fault
- Critical hydraulic system failure
- Major brake malfunction
What to do
Safely park the ETV 216, power down, and contact Jungheinrich service for a full diagnostic—do not continue operation until cleared.
Battery Discharge (BDI)
Common causes
- Extended operation without recharging
- Aging or damaged battery
- Charger malfunction
What to do
Recharge the battery fully before further use; if the indicator does not reset after charging, have the battery and charger checked for faults.
Hydraulic System
Common causes
- Low hydraulic fluid
- Hydraulic leak in hoses or cylinders
- Hydraulic pump issue
What to do
Check hydraulic fluid level and inspect for visible leaks; top up only with recommended fluid and arrange service if the warning remains.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the overload warning appears but the load seems within limits?
Double-check the load's weight and position; if the warning persists with a verified safe load, the ETV 216 may need its load sensor calibrated by a technician.
How often does the ETV 216 require battery charging?
Charge the battery whenever the BDI or battery indicator shows low charge or at the end of each shift to maintain optimal performance.
Can I continue working if the hydraulic system warning is on?
It is not recommended; stop work and inspect the hydraulic fluid level and for leaks, then seek service if the issue is not immediately resolved.
Why does the seat belt warning stay on even after fastening?
This may indicate a faulty seat belt switch or sensor; ensure the belt clicks securely, and if the warning remains, have the seat belt system checked.
What does the hour meter warning mean?
The hour meter warning signals that scheduled maintenance is due based on the ETV 216's operating hours; arrange service to keep the truck reliable.
