# Service bulletin SIL 712

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

## NHTSA's summary

SIL 712 notified unit owners that Altec Industries, Inc. has developed a product improvement which relates to certain TS40\-PT, TS336\-BW Cable Placers units. Some customers have reported the failure of the arbor bar locking pin handle during operation. If the locking pin handle fails during operation, the arbor bar and reel will be very difficult to remove from the unit. Altec has developed an improved design for the handle for current production. A kit has been developed to provide the improved handle for units in the field.
