Bulletin Summary
There may be inadequate weld fusion between the boom extension cylinder rod and rod end on the affected units. This can lead to failure of the weld. Altec has developed a process to have the cylinder rod end attachment repaired by the cylinder manufacturer. Altec requires the repair be completed on the affected units by the next annual preventive maintenance interval or within one year of receipt of the SIL.
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.
