PROBLEM
Show/hide table
The existing duct filter is difficult to remove, due to the rough edge of the hole for the duct filter, on certain 320/323 NGH Excavators. Rework will allow for easy removal of the duct filter.
In order to allow equitable parts availability to all participating dealers, please limit your initial parts order to not exceed 7% of dealership population. This is an initial order recommendation only, and the ultimate responsibility for ordering the total number of parts needed to satisfy the program lies with the dealer.
