Altec received reports of rotation bearing fasteners that broke during the annual torque inspection.

Death or serious injury can result from uncontrolled movement.
Altec requires the following actions be completed on the affected units.
- Inspect for the head marking embossed on the head of each cap screw no later than 30days after receiving this CSN. Record the head marking on the inspection form at the end of the CSN.
- Perform a torque check on the inner race of the turntable rotation bearing cap screwsusing the Annual Torque Inspection Procedure in the Maintenance Manual.
- If any cap screws are broken, remove the unit from service and replace all of the cap screws in that rotation bearing race.
- If any cap screw is marked with head marking 6035 on the head of the fastener (refer to Figure 1), replace the cap screws in that race no later than 30 days after inspecting for the head marking.
- If the fasteners are not marked with 6035 and are not broken, theinspection is completed and the unit can be returned to service and normal torque inspections can be resumed.
- Complete the inspection form at the end of this CSN and returnit to Altec.
