Hazard

The dust cover installed on the engine compartment of street sweeper vehicles to prevent dust from being blown up during operation may accumulate soil and debris on top during cleaning work. The weight of this accumulation can damage the dust cover mounting points. If the vehicle continues to be used in this condition, the dust cover may contact the propulsion exhaust pipe located nearby, and in the worst case, the dust cover may ignite, resulting in fire.
