SIL 826
Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions
Altec has discovered that certain ST500 and ST600 units built from July 2017 to October 2019 do not have a load rating placard on the outer tubes of the hitch. Overloading the tubes could damage the bumper and/or hitch. Altec requires a placard kit to be installed on each affected unit within 90 days of receipt of this SIL. The placard kit required depends on the unit model. Install the kit upon receipt. This installation is covered under the Altec Warranty Policy and can be performed by Altec, the customer, or the customerâs warranty provider. Altec will perform the work for free at an Altec facility. If the customer or the customerâs warranty provider performs the installation, a warranty claim must be submitted to be reimbursed for the cost of the parts and/or labor.
