Hazard

In the hydrostatic transmission of a combine harvester, the structure of the emergency operation levers for turning and straight travel is inadequate, allowing rainwater and other moisture to seep into the base of these levers, causing rust to form. Continued operation in this condition may cause the turning and straight travel emergency operation levers to seize due to rust, rendering the hydrostatic transmission inoperable. In severe cases, this may result in loss of steering or mobility.

Remedy

Install protective covers on the turning and straight travel emergency operation lever sections of all vehicles, and seal grease inside the covers.
