Altec Industries defect in the base material at the weld joint may result in a stress fracture through the applied weld of the drive hub to the hex bar material.
The short version
ALTEC INDUSTRIES INC. reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.
A defect in the base material at the weld joint may result in a stress fracture through the applied weld of the drive hub to the hex bar material.
The stress fracture could cause the extension shaft to separate from the drive hub when digging, increasing the risk of personal injury and/or property damage.
Altec will notify owners, and will inspect the PENGO digger extension shaft and, as necessary, replace the shaft, free of charge.
