All other locations in the manual contain the correct torque value of 150 foot-pounds for these cap screws. Torquing these cap screws to 325 foot-pounds can stretch them, causing loose mounting of the rotation gearbox. The Maintenance Manual has been updated to show the correct torque value. The owner should request updated Maintenance Manuals by November 30, 2023.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10238779-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10238779-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10238779","components":[{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"ALTEC","model":"AERIAL DEVICE","year_from":2017,"year_to":2023,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
