Hazard

In scattered-light warning lamps equipped on road maintenance vehicles and similar, the manufacturing process of the vehicle pull-out switch was improper, resulting in some switch contacts not being lubricated with grease. Consequently, repeated switch operations may cause poor electrical contact, resulting in the scattered-light warning lamp extinguishing while illuminated or becoming unable to dim.
