Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions
Altec has learned that on certain DT65-E units built from October 2021 to May 2024 the lower boom pressure limiter relief pressure could have been set lower than what the unit is rated. As a result, the unit might not demonstrate its maximum capacity while lifting a load, causing user dissatisfaction.
