Bulletin Summary

Altec has discovered that affected units may not have a PTO request wire properly connected to the transmission control module. Without this wire installed, the chassis may not produce the hydraulic pressure required for proper PTO clutch pack engagement. Altec requires the unit to be inspected for the PTO request wire no later than the next periodic maintenance interval or 90 days from the receipt of the SIL, whichever comes first. If the inspection procedure in the SIL confirms that the PTO request wire is missing, order the PTO Request Wire Kit and install the kit no later than 6 months from the receipt of this 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.
