Bulletin Summary
Altec has learned that Section 8 of the Maintenance Manual for certain Altec LS60 aerial devices built from November 2017 to January 2023 contains an incorrect torque value of 325 foot-pounds for the rotation gearbox mounting cap screws. All other locations in the manual contain the correct torque value of 150 foot-pounds for these cap screws. Torquing these cap screws to 325 foot-pounds can stretch them, causing loose mounting of the rotation gearbox. The Maintenance Manual has been updated to show the correct torque value. The owner should request updated Maintenance Manuals by November 30, 2023.
About Technical Service Bulletins
A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
