Altec digger bail pins installed on these vehicles were not properly heat treated and can develop cracks during auger use.
The short version
ALTEC INDUSTRIES INC. reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.
THE DIGGER BAIL PINS INSTALLED ON THESE VEHICLES WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND CAN DEVELOP CRACKS DURING AUGER USE. THE DIGGER COULD BECOME SEPARATED FROM THE DIGGER BAIL ALLOWING THE AUGER/DIGGER ASSEMBLY TO SWING FREELY FROM THE DIGGER HOSES.
A SWINGING AUGER/DIGGER COULD STRIKE A BYSTANDER CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PINS FREE OF CHARGE.
