Still Warning Lights and Symbols: Complete Guide

Still forklifts are equipped with a clear and intuitive instrument cluster designed to maximize safety and operational awareness for warehouse and industrial environments. The display provides real-time alerts and status indicators specific to the demands of material handling, ensuring operators can respond quickly to any issues. Each symbol is tailored to the unique systems and safety features of Still forklift models.

How to read the colors: Red symbols signal an urgent issue that requires immediate attention and may indicate a potential safety hazard. Amber lights warn of conditions that need checking soon but don't require an instant stop, while green and blue lights indicate normal system statuses or active features.

Most Important Warning Lights

Engine Oil Pressure

Common causes

  • Low oil level due to leaks
  • Clogged oil filter
  • Worn oil pump

What to do

Immediately shut down the Still forklift, check oil level, and inspect for visible leaks. If the problem persists, do not restart and contact Still service.

Overload / Capacity

Common causes

  • Load exceeds rated fork capacity
  • Incorrect load positioning
  • Faulty load sensor

What to do

Lower the load to the ground, ensure weight is within the specified limit, and reposition if needed. If the warning stays on, have the load sensor checked by Still support.

Brake System

Common causes

  • Brake fluid leak
  • Worn brake pads
  • Hydraulic system failure

What to do

Stop using the forklift, inspect for fluid leaks or brake wear, and contact a qualified Still technician for repairs before resuming operation.

Coolant Temperature

Common causes

  • Low coolant level
  • Radiator blockage
  • Faulty thermostat

What to do

Turn off the engine, allow it to cool, and top up coolant if needed. If overheating recurs, arrange for a Still technician to inspect the cooling system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if the Battery Discharge (BDI) warning appears?

Safely complete your task, then recharge the traction battery fully before the next shift to avoid unplanned downtime.

How often does the Service / Hour Meter light come on?

This indicator triggers based on the maintenance schedule set by Still, usually every 250 or 500 operating hours depending on the model.

Why does the Overload warning activate even with a small load?

This may be due to incorrect load placement or a malfunctioning load sensor; always center the load and have sensors checked if problems persist.

Is it safe to operate with the ABS light on?

While basic braking remains, anti-lock functionality is lost; drive with caution and have the ABS inspected as soon as possible.

What does it mean if the Hydraulic System light stays on?

It indicates low hydraulic fluid or a pressure issue; check the hydraulic oil level and look for leaks, topping up as needed.
