Hazard

In the hydrostatic transmission travel motor, the plug sealing the machined hole in the hydraulic circuit has improper fastening torque. Repeated use under high-pressure operating fluid conditions, such as during snow removal operations, can cause the plug to loosen. Continued operation in this condition may result in O-ring damage and operating fluid leakage, potentially leading to loss of mobility.

静油圧変速機の走行モータにおいて、油圧回路の加工穴を塞ぐ栓の締付けトルクが不適切なため、除雪作業時等の作動油が高圧となる条件下で繰り返し使用すると栓が緩むものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、オーリングが破損して作動油が流出し、最悪の場合、走行不能になるおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace the plug and O-ring with new parts on all vehicles and tighten the plug to the proper torque specification.
