IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL 20V-168
This notice applies to your vehicle
Dear Terex Equipment Owner,
REASON FOR NOTICE
SN684 is for the 25 foot double lift, part numbers 497981 & 498199, which have shims which do not fully support the elevator cylinder rod eyes. The threaded portion of the rod eye may fatigue and fail causing the lift to drift down. If one rod eye fails the lift is only supported by one of the two cylinders. The aerial boom may drift down contacting lower levels causing injury.
WHAT TEREX WILL DO
Terex will provide replacement rod eyes and shims for all 4 cylinders at no cost to the owner. Field Service kit Zl 582, which will repair all four cylinders, will be provided to the nearest Terex Utilities dealer or Field Service Technician for installation on your unit. Repair will take 8 hours.
Contact Terex Utilities; through your nearest TEREX Utilities dealer as shown on the web site, terexutilities.com, call Terex Utilities Warranty Department at 1-844-837-3948 or by email at utilities.warranty@terex.com to arrange for repair within 10 days of receiving this bulletin. If you have sold the unit involved in this bulletin forward this bulletin to the new owner within 10 days and notify Terex of the serial number and contact information for the new owner.
WHAT THE OWNER MUST DO
Immediately inspect the rod ends of the two cylinders on the lower lift boom and the two cylinders on the upper lift boom following the instruction in the Bulletin.
Inspection procedure:
- From the lower controls raise the upper lift boom to 45 degrees and look under the cover at the shims at the rod end. If the shims are loose do not continue to use the unit until repaired.
- From the lower controls raise the lower lift boom to 45 degrees and look under the cylinder cover at the shims at the rod end. If the shims are loose do not continue to use the unit until repaired.
- If the shims on all four cylinders are still tight follow the continued use statement below.
- If any of the shims are loose it indicates the rod eye is not torqued properly. The rod eye and shims must be replaced before further use.
Immediately inspect the rod ends before further use or contact Contact Terex Utilities; through your nearest TEREX Utilities dealer as shown on the web site, terexutilities.com, call Terex Utilities Warranty Department at 1-844-837-3948 or by email at utilities.warranty@terex.com to arrange for repair
CONTINUED USE
Inform the users of the content of this bulletin and remind them of the daily pre-shift inspection requirements.
- Inspect the cylinder rod ends daily before use as described above.
