# Service bulletin SIL 759

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

Altec has discovered that some of the fuel hoses used on tensioner engines do not meet the proper specifications. While the fuel hose is not a safety concern, the hose does not meet the EPA permeation requirements per 40 CFR 1048.105. It is extremely important for the correct fuel line to be installed to minimize emissions to the atmosphere from vapor permeation through the body of the fuel line. Understanding the importance of this regulatory requirement, Altec and its customers will make a concerted effort to repair the units in a timely manner. Altec requires that the fuel lines on each unit be inspected for the correct type. The inspection must be completed no later than the next periodic maintenance interval or 90 days from the receipt of this SIL, whichever comes first. Use the inspection procedure beginning on page 2. If the hose is found to be the incorrect material, it must be replaced. Order the Hose Replacement Kit, part number 991077881, by calling 1\-877\-GO ALTEC \(1\-877\-462\-5832\).
