Hazard

In the steering system, the pin outer diameter dimension of the mounting section for the angle adjustment cylinder (tilt handle) that adjusts the angle of the steering wheel may be inappropriate. If use continues in this condition, the mounting section may seize, and in the worst case, the tilt cylinder rod may fracture, causing the handle shaft to become loose and making reliable operation impossible.
