The short version

ALTEC INDUSTRIES INC. reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

An improper torque was applied to the outrigger cylinder piston retention system during assembly. As a result, the cylinder could loosen from the rod allowing the outrigger leg to protrude beyond the confines of the chassis when it is in a stowed position.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the cylinder loosens from the rod, the outrigger could strike a person or object, increasing the risk of injury or property damage.

WHAT TO DO

Altec will notify owners, and will increase the torque on the piston free of charge.
