Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the BDI (Battery Discharge Indicator) turns amber on my Linde E25?
Plan to recharge the battery soon, as continued operation may trigger automatic power reduction to protect the battery.
Why is the overload symbol flashing on my E25 even with a light load?
Check if the load is positioned correctly and ensure the load sensor is functioning; recalibrate if necessary.
Can I drive the E25 if the ABS warning is lit?
You can continue cautiously, but braking performance may be reduced; have the ABS system inspected as soon as possible.
How do I reset the service/hour meter indicator?
After completing scheduled maintenance, reset the hour meter via the cluster menu or using a service tool as described in the E25 manual.
What does it mean if the hydraulic system light comes on?
It indicates a potential hydraulic fluid issue or system fault; check fluid level and inspect for leaks before further use.
