EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL
Product advisory posted on our web site to inform owners, user, & operators that the new ANSI A92.2-2021 standard has taken effect and they must review. The standard has changed some of the responsibilities of the parties who use or operate vehicle mounted aerial devices.
EQUIPMENT
Product Update Notice 2020B reminded customers that they may be unable to store necessary equipment in the body of the cutaway van without exceeding the rear axle capacity. For customers who are not satisfied with the remaining capacity of your vehicle, the tailshelf mounted generator and roof mounted air conditioning unit can be removed. Altec will provide kits to close the opening in the van roof and modify wiring after the generator is removed. Order the A/C Cover Sealing Service Kit, part number 991064376, and the Generator Plug Service Kit, part number 991063374 by calling 1-877-GO ALTEC (1-877-462-5832).
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
