Hazard

In the parking brake of wheel cranes, the surface treatment of the bracket that secures the brake chamber is inadequate, resulting in some bolts having low axial tension. Due to vibration during operation, the bolts may loosen, causing the brake chamber mounting position to shift, and in the worst case, the parking brake may fail to operate.

ホイール・クレーンの駐車ブレーキにおいて、ブレーキチャンバを取り付けるブラケットの表面処理が不適切なため、ブラケットを取り付けるボルトの軸力が低いものがある。そのため、走行等の振動によりボルトが緩みブレーキチャンバの取付位置がずれ、最悪の場合、駐車ブレーキが作動しなくなるおそれがある。

Remedy

For all vehicles, remove paint from the parking brake chamber mounting bracket, axle-side fixed section mounting surfaces, mounting bolt and nut seat surfaces, then reinstall.
