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.

刈取脱穀作業車の静油圧変速機において、旋回用及び直進用の緊急操作レバー部の構造が不適切なため、雨水等が当該レバーの根元部に浸入し、当該箇所に錆が発生することがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、旋回用及び直進用の緊急操作レバーが錆で固着し、静油圧変速機の操作ができず、最悪の場合、操舵不能や走行不能となるおそれがある。
Remedy
Install protective covers on the turning and straight travel emergency operation lever sections of all vehicles, and seal grease inside the covers.
