    • Troubleshooting: Check the hydraulic oil level, avoid overloading during lifting, and cool the hydraulic system.

III. Important Notes

  1. The specific meaning of an error code must be based on the corresponding forklift's Maintenance Manual; the above is for general reference only.
  2. When an error code appears, it is recommended to first record the complete code (including letters, numbers, and symbols), then contact the brand's after-sales service or refer to the manual.
  3. Do not force the operation of a forklift with an error code, as this may expand the fault or cause a safety accident.
