| Symbol | Name | Color | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Master Warning (Stop) | RED | A major fault has been detected that could cause serious damage or unsafe operation on the FGC25N. | Park the forklift safely and shut down the engine immediately. | |
| Master Caution | AMBER | A non-critical system issue has been detected that needs attention soon on this model. | Inspect the display for further details and plan corrective action. | |
| Check Engine (MIL) | AMBER | The engine control unit has detected a fault in the FGC25N’s engine or emissions system. | Schedule service to diagnose and repair the engine issue. | |
| Engine Oil Pressure | RED | The engine oil pressure is dangerously low, risking severe engine damage on the FGC25N. | Turn off the engine immediately and check oil level and leaks. | |
| Battery / Charging | RED | The alternator is not charging the battery, risking electrical system failure. | Stop operation and inspect the charging system and battery connections. | |
| Coolant Temperature | RED | The engine coolant temperature has exceeded safe limits for the FGC25N. | Shut off the engine and allow it to cool before checking coolant levels. | |
| Brake System | RED | A fault in the primary brake system has been detected, affecting stopping ability. | Do not operate—inspect brake fluid and components immediately. | |
| Parking Brake | RED | The parking brake is engaged on the FGC25N. | Release the parking brake before driving. | |
| Seat Belt | RED | The operator seatbelt is not fastened while the forklift is running. | Buckle the seatbelt before operating the forklift. | |
| Low Fuel | AMBER | The LPG fuel level is low and the FGC25N will soon run out of fuel. | Refuel with the correct LPG tank as soon as possible. | |
| Service / Hour Meter | AMBER | Scheduled maintenance is due based on the FGC25N’s operating hours. | Arrange for routine service per the maintenance schedule. | |
| Work Lights | GREEN | The work lights are switched on to improve visibility during operation. | No action needed unless lights are not required. | |
| Beacon / Rotating Light | AMBER | The safety beacon is active, signaling forklift movement to nearby personnel. | Ensure the beacon is functioning when operating in pedestrian areas. | |
| Hydraulic System | AMBER | A hydraulic system issue has been detected, possibly affecting lift or tilt functions. | Check hydraulic fluid level and inspect for leaks. | |
| Hydraulic Oil | AMBER | Hydraulic oil level or condition is below specification for the FGC25N. | Top up or replace hydraulic oil as needed. | |
| Air Filter | AMBER | The engine air filter is clogged, restricting airflow and performance. | Inspect and replace the air filter element. | |
| Fuel Filter / Water Separator | AMBER | The fuel filter is restricted or contains water, impacting engine operation. | Service or replace the fuel filter and drain water separator. | |
| Overload / Capacity | RED | The FGC25N is overloaded beyond its rated lifting capacity. | Lower the load immediately and ensure it does not exceed rated capacity. |

Most Important Warning Lights
Engine Oil Pressure
Common causes
- Low oil level
- Oil pump failure
- Oil filter blockage
What to do
Stop the engine immediately, check the oil level, and inspect for leaks or a faulty oil pump. Replace the oil filter if needed before restarting the FGC25N.
Coolant Temperature
Common causes
- Coolant leak
- Radiator blockage
- Faulty thermostat
What to do
Allow the engine to cool, check coolant level, and inspect the radiator and cooling fan for obstructions. Repair leaks or replace components as necessary.
Brake System
Common causes
- Low brake fluid
- Worn brake pads or shoes
- Hydraulic brake failure
What to do
Check the brake fluid reservoir, inspect brake linings, and examine hydraulic lines for leaks. Do not operate the FGC25N until brakes are fully functional.
Overload / Capacity
Common causes
- Attempting to lift a load over 5,000 lbs
- Incorrect load center
- Improper load placement
What to do
Lower the load to the ground, verify weight and load center, and reload within the FGC25N’s rated capacity before continuing operation.
Battery / Charging
Common causes
- Loose battery terminals
- Alternator failure
- Broken drive belt
What to do
Inspect and tighten battery connections, check alternator output, and ensure the drive belt is intact. Replace faulty components as required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if multiple warning lights appear at once?
Stop the FGC25N in a safe location, review each warning on the display, and address the most critical issues first.
How often should I check the hydraulic oil level?
Inspect the hydraulic oil before each shift or at least daily, as recommended in the FGC25N operator’s manual.
Why does the air filter light keep coming on after replacement?
Ensure the new filter is properly seated and the air intake is free of debris; reset the indicator if required.
Can I operate the FGC25N if the check engine light is on but the forklift runs normally?
While minor faults may not affect performance, schedule service promptly to prevent further issues.
What type of fuel does the FGC25N use?
The FGC25N operates on liquid propane (LPG) and requires compatible LPG cylinders.
How do I reset the service/hour meter light after maintenance?
Follow the procedure in the operator’s manual, which typically involves a button sequence on the instrument panel.
