The Magni RTH 6.35 is a versatile telehandler designed for rugged tasks, featuring a comprehensive instrument cluster with specific warning lights to ensure safe and efficient operation. Understanding these indicators is crucial for avoiding downtime and maintaining machine performance.
Magni RTH 6.35 Warning Light Symbols
| Symbol | Name | Color | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Master Warning (Stop) | RED | A critical fault detected in the RTH 6.35's engine, hydraulics, or drivetrain requires immediate shutdown to prevent damage. | Stop the machine safely, turn off the engine, and consult the manual or contact service. | |
| Master Caution | AMBER | A non-critical system issue or required maintenance has been detected on your RTH 6.35, such as low fluid levels or upcoming service intervals. | Check the cluster for additional warning lights and schedule service soon if needed. | |
| Check Engine (MIL) | AMBER | The engine control unit on your RTH 6.35 has detected a fault in the emission system or engine performance that needs diagnosis. | Have the engine scanned by a Magni technician as soon as possible. | |
| Engine Oil Pressure | RED | Oil pressure in the Perkins engine of your RTH 6.35 is too low, risking severe engine damage if operation continues. | Shut down the engine immediately and check oil level and pressure sender. | |
| Battery / Charging | RED | The alternator on your RTH 6.35 is not charging the battery properly, potentially due to a faulty belt or alternator failure. | Stop the machine and check the alternator belt tension and connections. | |
| Coolant Temperature | RED | The engine coolant on your RTH 6.35 is overheating, which can result from low coolant, blocked radiator, or fan failure. | Park the unit, let the engine idle to cool, then check coolant level and radiator fins. | |
| Hydraulic System | AMBER | A hydraulic system fault is detected in the RTH 6.35, such as low hydraulic oil level or a leak, affecting lift and steering performance. | Check hydraulic oil reservoir and look for visible leaks; contact service if persistent. | |
| Parking Brake | RED | The parking brake on your RTH 6.35 is engaged or a brake system fault is preventing release. | Ensure parking brake is fully released; if light stays on, inspect brake system. | |
| Seat Belt | AMBER | The operator's seat belt is not fastened; the RTH 6.35 will not permit hydraulic functions until it is secured. | Fasten the seat belt before operating the machine. | |
| Glow Plug / Preheat | AMBER | The glow plugs are preheating the diesel engine of your RTH 6.35; wait for the light to turn off before starting. | Turn the ignition key to the preheat position and wait until the light extinguishes, then start. | |
| DPF / Regeneration | AMBER | The diesel particulate filter on your RTH 6.35 is clogged and requires a regeneration cycle to clean it. | Drive the machine at moderate speed or initiate parked regeneration per manual instructions. | |
| Overload / Capacity | RED | The load on the RTH 6.35 exceeds its rated capacity; continued operation may cause instability or structural failure. | Immediately reduce the load to within safe limits as shown on the load chart. | |
| Low Fuel | AMBER | The fuel level on your RTH 6.35 is low; refuel to avoid engine starvation on the job site. | Add diesel fuel to the tank as soon as possible. | |
| High Beam | BLUE | The headlights on your RTH 6.35 are set to high beam, which may blind other operators in low-light conditions. | Switch to low beam when approaching other equipment or personnel. | |
| Work Lights | GREEN | The auxiliary work lights on your RTH 6.35 are turned on for increased visibility during night operations or indoors. | No action needed; switch off when not required to conserve battery. |

Most Important Warning Lights
Engine Overheating
Common causes
- Low coolant level
- Blocked radiator fins
- Faulty cooling fan clutch
What to do
Immediately reduce engine load and idle; check coolant level, clean radiator with compressed air, and inspect fan belt tension on the RTH 6.35.
Hydraulic System Failure
Common causes
- Hydraulic oil leak
- Low oil reservoir level
- Pump cavitation due to contamination
What to do
Shut down the RTH 6.35, locate and repair any leaks, refill hydraulic oil to correct level using Magni-approved fluid, and bleed air if needed.
Brake System Malfunction
Common causes
- Worn brake pads
- Low brake fluid
- Air in brake lines
What to do
Park the machine safely, check brake fluid reservoir on the RTH 6.35, top up if low, and bleed brakes to remove air; have pads inspected by a technician.
DPF Clogged (Frequent Regeneration)
Common causes
- Excessive idling
- Low engine load driving
- Incorrect fuel quality
What to do
Perform a forced regeneration using the Magni diagnostic tool or drive the RTH 6.35 under load at highway speeds for 20 minutes to clean the filter.
Electrical System Overload
Common causes
- Battery discharge due to lights left on
- Failed alternator
- Shorted wiring
What to do
Check battery voltage and alternator output on the RTH 6.35; jump-start if needed, but have the charging system tested to prevent future failures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the red master warning light on the Magni RTH 6.35 indicate?
It indicates a critical system fault requiring immediate stop; the machine will likely disable hydraulic functions to prevent damage.
How do I reset the service hour meter light on my RTH 6.35?
The service reminder can only be reset by a Magni dealer using the diagnostic tool; schedule maintenance to clear the light.
Why is my RTH 6.35's glow plug light staying on longer than usual?
Longer preheat times may indicate a failing glow plug or low battery voltage, especially in cold weather; have the glow plugs tested.
The overload light is flashing but I'm not lifting heavy loads. What's wrong?
The overload sensor may be triggered by the load moment; check boom position and ensure no attachments are adding weight; recalibrate if needed.
Can I operate the RTH 6.35 with the amber DPF regeneration light on?
Yes, but you should drive it under load to initiate active regeneration; if ignored, the light will turn red and lock out operations.
What does the blue high beam light mean on my telehandler?
It simply shows the headlights are on high beam; switch to low beam when near other workers or vehicles to avoid glare.
