- 10242582Altec has learned that operators might be using the crane and unit simultaneously on certain Altec units equipped with Venturo, Liftmoore, and Autocrane service cranes built from March 2009 to August 2022. These units were designed for single use of the crane or the unit, not simultaneous operation. To promote proper unit operation, Altec has developed an operator aid and new placards outlining the usage of the crane and unit. There are seven total owners/units affected.
- 10230478Altec has learned that on certain AT37-G aerial devices built from November 2007 to April 2018, the rear torsion bar swing arm can interfere with the long runner channels under the body as the torsion bar rotates during road travel. The interference can cause wear issues and can cause welds on the body mounting angles or cross members to develop cracks.
- 10197950Altec has learned that certain AT35/37-G and AT40-G aerial devices built between February 2008 and January 2016 have power wiring for the 12V hydraulic oil reservoir heater which could be insufficient to carry the electrical current required to operate the heater. This could result in damage to the units Power Distribution Module (PDM), causing the oil heater to stop operating. A kit has been developed to update the oil heater power wiring to carry the necessary current. Altec requires this kit to be installed on the affected units no later than the next preventive maintenance interval or 90 days from the receipt of this SIL, whichever comes first.
- 10167685Altec discovered that one of the fasteners used to attach the rear shear plate on the subbase of the unit to the chassis can contact the chassis u-bolt. The fastener can be a huck bolt or a bolt and nut. Movement of the u-bolt can possibly cause damage to the huck bolt or bolt and nut resulting in the fastener being broken off. Altec requires the customer to perform an inspection of rear shear plate on the subbase to determine if huck bolts or bolts and nuts were installed. This inspection should be completed no later than 90 days after the receipt of this SIL. Use the inspection Procedure beginning on Page 2. If huck bolts are present, contact Altec to perform the repair, or send the vehicle to local service center.
