Bulletin Summary
Altec has learned that on certain derricks built from 2008 to 2020 the diameter of the wire winch rope installed may exceed the maximum allowable diameter specified by the ANSI A10.31 derrick standard based on the winch drum diameter. Use of an oversized wire winch rope can lead to improper rope spooling on the winch drum and premature rope wear.
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.
