Hazard

In the travel reduction gearbox of the shovel loader, some units have improper machining precision in the reduction gearbox case on the hydraulic motor mounting side, causing misalignment between the drive shaft of the hydraulic motor and the gear center of the reduction gearbox. Continued operation in this condition may cause wear on the hydraulic motor drive shaft (spline section), and in worst cases, the drive shaft may be worn through, resulting in loss of travel capability.
