Vehicle report
Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.
PUN-3288
Altec has updated maintenance and operator’s manuals for all LR7, LR8, and LRV units to bring better visibility to the inspection of the outrigger/subbase connection. These welds are critical to the longevity of the aerial device.
PUN-3134
In January 2023, Altec made production changes to the LR8 leveling yoke retention assembly. The upgraded system includes a shoulder bolt and lock nut. The shoulder bolt and lock nut can be removed and reused and have a higher shear strength than the original retention method. Altec has developed an upgraded retention kit for the leveling yoke of the affected units in the field.
