Dash light signification

Hello,

I have a light which light after we run the lift, it's the one on the left of the seat belt warning light.

It looks like au round with a wave inside, it could be a water level maybe?

What does it mean? I was thinking a problem with the water temperature? But i'm not really sure about it...

Thank you for your help

Hi All,

Please help. We have a Hyster 4.5 fork lift and there is a red arrow light that comes on and then off when i put it in reverse. What does this arrow mean??

Thank you for your answer.

It's the round circle with the wave, no thermometer inside.
And yes, we had to add coolant inside the radiator.

We will check for a leak then. Thank you for your help ;-)

if it is just round circle with wave inside that is radiator coolant level low
if it is round circle with temp indicator thermometer and wave inside circle that is coolant level/hot indicator warning light.

check your coolant level in resivoir and in radiator (when cold) and see if it is low. If it is low then you may have a leak and need to pressure test system to see where leak is and repair it.
if no leaks found then just top off radiator and resivoir and monitor it... sometimes they just blow out coolant out of resivoir when they get hot... seen many do this for no apparant reason, sometimes it can be radiator cap bad tho... always having to add to resivoir during pm's because of this.

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
