Bulletin Summary
SIL 712 notified unit owners that Altec Industries, Inc. has developed a product improvement which relates to certain TS40-PT, TS336-BW Cable Placers units. Some customers have reported the failure of the arbor bar locking pin handle during operation. If the locking pin handle fails during operation, the arbor bar and reel will be very difficult to remove from the unit. Altec has developed an improved design for the handle for current production. A kit has been developed to provide the improved handle for units in the field.
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.
