Hazard

In the transmission planetary gear, the planetary shaft is secured by an improper method. During field turning, the spring pin may disengage, causing excessive load on the shaft and resulting in cracking. If operation continues in this condition, the crack may propagate, leading to shaft fracture. In the worst case, the shaft may disengage and jam with the gear, resulting in loss of mobility.
