Description of Problem
We have identified a potential problem with the
pivot shaft assembly on TEI‰
Pre-feeders with Cart-Style extendos. One case has been reported
where cracks were identified on the pivot shafts located on both
sides of the machine. Failure of one or both of these shafts could
result in an unsafe condition. No failures have occurred; however,
these shafts should be checked to ensure an unsafe condition does
not exist.

Recommended Solution
The pivot shafts and associated welds should be
inspected for visual cracks, paint chips, or signs of material
deformation. Report any signs of cracks or other indication of
potential shaft failure to Alliance Machine Systems International,
LLC.
