Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the Battery Discharge Indicator (BDI) turns amber during a shift?
Plan to finish your current task and return the forklift to the charging station before the battery is fully depleted to avoid lift lockout.
Why does the Overload warning appear even when the load seems light?
The warning can activate if the load’s center of gravity is too far forward or if the mast is extended, not just based on weight.
Is it safe to operate the Raymond 4460 if the hour meter service light is on?
You can finish your current work, but schedule maintenance promptly to keep the forklift running safely and efficiently.
Does the work lights indicator mean there’s a problem?
No, it simply means the auxiliary work lights are switched on for better visibility.
What happens if I ignore the fasten seatbelt warning?
The Raymond 4460 may restrict travel or sound an alarm until the seatbelt is properly fastened for operator safety.
