Mitsubishi Forklift FG35N Warning Light Symbols
| Symbol | Name | Color | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Master Warning (Stop) | RED | A major fault has been detected in a vital system, such as the engine or hydraulics, on your FG35N. | Safely stop the forklift, turn off the engine, and investigate the cause before further use. | |
| Check Engine (MIL) | AMBER | The engine management system has identified a malfunction specific to the FG35N's LPG engine. | Schedule diagnostic service soon to prevent performance loss or damage. | |
| Engine Oil Pressure | RED | The FG35N's engine oil pressure is dangerously low, risking severe engine damage. | Shut down the engine immediately and check oil level and leaks. | |
| Battery / Charging | RED | The alternator is not charging the battery adequately in your FG35N. | Inspect the drive belt, battery terminals, and alternator before operating further. | |
| Coolant Temperature | RED | Engine coolant temperature has exceeded safe limits in the FG35N. | Stop the forklift, allow the engine to cool, and check coolant level and radiator. | |
| Brake System | RED | A brake system fault or low fluid has been detected on your FG35N. | Do not operate; inspect brake fluid and components immediately. | |
| Parking Brake | RED | The parking brake is engaged, preventing the FG35N from moving. | Release the parking brake before attempting to drive. | |
| Low Fuel | AMBER | LPG fuel level is low in the FG35N's tank. | Refill the LPG tank soon to avoid unexpected shutdown. | |
| Hydraulic System | AMBER | A problem has been detected in the FG35N's hydraulic circuit, possibly reduced pressure or fluid. | Check hydraulic fluid level and inspect for leaks or unusual noises. | |
| Service / Hour Meter | AMBER | Scheduled maintenance is due based on operating hours tracked by the FG35N. | Arrange for maintenance service to keep the forklift in top condition. | |
| Work Lights | GREEN | The FG35N's work lights are switched on, improving visibility during operation. | No action needed unless lights are not required. | |
| Beacon / Rotating Light | AMBER | The safety beacon is active, alerting nearby personnel of forklift movement. | Ensure the beacon remains on in areas with pedestrian or vehicle traffic. | |
| Overload / Capacity | RED | The FG35N's load exceeds its rated lifting capacity. | Lower the load immediately and reduce to within specified limits before continuing. | |
| Hydraulic Oil | AMBER | Hydraulic oil level or quality is below recommended standards in the FG35N. | Top up or replace hydraulic oil as soon as possible. | |
| Fuel Filter / Water Separator | AMBER | The fuel filter or water separator may be clogged or full in the FG35N. | Inspect and replace the filter or drain water as needed. | |
| Seat Belt | RED | The operator's seat belt is not fastened while the FG35N is in use. | Secure the seat belt before driving. | |
| Fasten Seat Belt | RED | The FG35N detects the seat belt is unbuckled when the ignition is on. | Buckle up to ensure operator safety. | |
| Air Filter | AMBER | The FG35N's air filter is restricted and may reduce engine efficiency. | Clean or replace the air filter promptly. | |
| Mast / Lift Limit | AMBER | The mast has reached its maximum lift height on the FG35N. | Do not attempt to lift further; lower mast as needed. |

Most Important Warning Lights
Engine Oil Pressure
Common causes
- Severely low engine oil level
- Oil pump failure
- Oil filter blockage
What to do
Immediately stop the FG35N, check the oil level, and inspect for leaks or a faulty pump. Refill oil or repair components before restarting.
Coolant Temperature
Common causes
- Low coolant level
- Cooling fan malfunction
- Radiator blockage
What to do
Turn off the FG35N and let the engine cool, then check coolant level and the radiator for obstructions or fan issues before resuming work.
Overload / Capacity
Common causes
- Lifting load beyond rated capacity
- Incorrect load distribution
- Hydraulic malfunction
What to do
Lower the load immediately and ensure future loads are within the FG35N's specified capacity; inspect the hydraulic system if warning persists.
Brake System
Common causes
- Brake fluid leak
- Worn brake pads
- Hydraulic brake failure
What to do
Do not operate the FG35N until the brake system is inspected; refill brake fluid and replace worn parts as needed.
Battery / Charging
Common causes
- Alternator failure
- Loose or corroded battery terminals
- Drive belt slippage
What to do
Inspect the alternator, battery, and drive belt on the FG35N; repair or replace faulty components to restore charging.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the Master Warning light comes on while operating the FG35N?
Stop the forklift immediately in a safe area, shut off the engine, and investigate the cause, as this indicates a serious fault.
How often should the hydraulic oil be checked on the FG35N?
Check the hydraulic oil level daily before use and top up or replace as needed to prevent system damage.
Why does the Overload light activate even with a seemingly light load?
The load may be distributed incorrectly or the mast may be extended too far; always check load position and mast height.
Can I continue operating if the Check Engine light is amber but the forklift runs normally?
While the FG35N may still operate, schedule service soon to prevent potential engine issues or performance loss.
What does it mean if the Air Filter light is on?
The air filter is likely clogged, which can reduce engine performance; clean or replace the filter promptly.
