Still RX20-16 Warning Light Symbols
| Symbol | Name | Color | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Master Warning (Stop) | RED | A critical fault has been detected on the RX20-16, such as a major electrical or hydraulic failure. | Stop the forklift immediately and contact service personnel. | |
| Master Caution | AMBER | A non-critical system issue is present that may affect RX20-16 performance but does not require an immediate stop. | Check the display for further information and schedule maintenance soon. | |
| Battery / Charging | RED | The drive battery charge on the RX20-16 is critically low or a charging fault is detected. | Recharge the battery as soon as possible or inspect the charging system. | |
| Battery Discharge (BDI) | AMBER | The battery discharge indicator shows the RX20-16's battery is approaching its minimum safe charge level. | Plan to complete work soon and recharge at the next opportunity. | |
| Hydraulic System | AMBER | A hydraulic fault is detected, such as low fluid level or pressure drop in the RX20-16's lift system. | Inspect hydraulic fluid level and check for leaks or performance loss. | |
| Hydraulic Oil | AMBER | Hydraulic oil temperature is too high or oil level is low, risking reduced lift performance. | Allow the system to cool and top up hydraulic oil as needed. | |
| Overload / Capacity | RED | The RX20-16 is lifting a load that exceeds its rated capacity, risking tip-over or system damage. | Lower the load immediately and ensure you are within the forklift's load limits. | |
| Brake System | RED | A malfunction in the RX20-16's braking system has been detected, possibly affecting stopping ability. | Do not operate the forklift; arrange for inspection and repair. | |
| Parking Brake | RED | The parking brake is engaged, preventing movement of the RX20-16. | Release the parking brake before driving. | |
| Service / Hour Meter | AMBER | The RX20-16 is due for scheduled maintenance based on operating hours. | Arrange for maintenance as soon as possible to avoid breakdowns. | |
| Work Lights | BLUE | The RX20-16's work lights are switched on for improved visibility. | Switch off the lights when not needed to conserve battery power. | |
| Beacon / Rotating Light | AMBER | The warning beacon is active, signaling nearby personnel that the RX20-16 is in operation. | Ensure the beacon remains on when operating in areas with pedestrian traffic. | |
| Mast / Lift Limit | AMBER | The mast or fork has reached its maximum permitted height on the RX20-16. | Do not attempt to lift further; lower the mast if safe to do so. | |
| Fasten Seat Belt | RED | The seatbelt on the RX20-16 is not fastened while the forklift is powered. | Buckle the seatbelt before driving. |

Most Important Warning Lights
Master Warning (Stop)
Common causes
- Major electrical system failure
- Critical hydraulic leak
- Severe controller fault
What to do
Immediately stop the RX20-16, secure the area, and contact Still service to diagnose the fault using the onboard diagnostics.
Battery / Charging
Common causes
- Battery charge depleted
- Faulty charger connection
- Battery cell failure
What to do
Recharge the RX20-16 battery fully and inspect for proper charger operation; if the issue persists, have the battery tested or replaced.
Overload / Capacity
Common causes
- Load exceeds rated capacity
- Incorrect load positioning
- Sensor or mast calibration error
What to do
Lower the load immediately, verify the weight is within the RX20-16's specified limits, and recalibrate the overload sensor if necessary.
Brake System
Common causes
- Hydraulic brake fluid leak
- Worn brake pads or discs
- Electronic brake control malfunction
What to do
Remove the RX20-16 from service, check brake fluid levels, inspect pads and discs, and have a qualified technician repair any faults.
Hydraulic System
Common causes
- Low hydraulic oil level
- Hydraulic pump failure
- Damaged hoses or cylinders
What to do
Inspect the hydraulic oil reservoir, check for visible leaks or damage, and refill or repair components as required for the RX20-16.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the Battery Discharge Indicator (BDI) comes on?
Plan to recharge the RX20-16 soon, as continued operation at low battery levels can reduce battery lifespan and limit performance.
Why does the Overload light activate even with a seemingly light load?
The RX20-16's sensors can trigger the overload warning if the load is not positioned correctly or if the mast is extended, increasing leverage.
How often should I service the hydraulic system?
Check hydraulic oil levels daily on the RX20-16 and follow the maintenance schedule in the operator manual for oil and filter changes.
Can I continue using the RX20-16 if the Service/Hour Meter light is on?
You may finish your current task, but arrange for maintenance promptly to prevent unexpected breakdowns.
What does it mean if the Mast/Lift Limit light is illuminated?
This indicates that the mast has reached its maximum safe height; do not attempt to lift further to avoid mechanical damage.
