Brake Air Line Fitting Replacement
Altec is committed to providing our customers with safe and reliable products from initial delivery throughout the useful life of the machine.
Push-to-connect air fittings are commonly used in the mobile equipment industry to attach air brake system components to each other. Altec has discovered that non-DOT rated push-toconnect fittings have been used on some HLIW-T and AD108 products. Non-DOT rated air fittings should not be used in braking applications.
Air fittings with a plastic collar ring used to hold the tubing or a collar ring that does not have the letters DOT stamped on the side (refer to Figure 1) are not to be used with brake systems. Altec requires that all push-to-connect air fittings on the affected units be replaced with fittings with a DOT rating at the next service interval, but no later than 90 days after receiving this CSN.
Select the DOT compliant fittings kit from the chart below and order by calling 1-877-GO ALTEC (1-877-462-5832).
