If any fastener fails during the inspection, the unit shall be removed from service immediately until the rotation bearing fasteners can be replaced. Altec has found some rotation bearing fasteners that have failed. The failure of rotation bearing fasteners can cause uncontrolled movement resulting in death or serious injury.
Investigation has determined that some rotation bearing fasteners may have been initially installed and torqued to a higher value than specified. The fasteners were installed by an electric torque wrench that was not calibrated correctly. Incorrect calibration can cause the fastener to break due to the higher installation torque.
Because of this condition, Altec requires the following actions be taken:
- All affected rotation bearing fasteners must be inspected using the procedure beginningon Page 2.

If the customer, or the customer’s warranty provider performs the repair, a warranty claim must be submitted to be reimbursed for the cost of the parts and/or labor. Altec will allow up to $810 for the inspection and $1350 for the labor to perform this repair. Call 1877-GO ALTEC (1-877-462-5832) to schedule the work to be done by an Altec service technician.
