An Improved Factory Assembly Process Has Been Implemented on Certain Telehandlers {3030, 3061, 3064, 3066, 3101, 3160}

Usage:

OEM: OEMTPG145 (S/N: GW41-1000; JP41-1000; DY61-1000)
Telehandler: TH336C (S/N: MJR1-251); TH337C (S/N: DJB1-399); TH3510D (S/N: SD31-1000; CF51-1000); TH406C (S/N: GAT1-245); TH407C (S/N: MLH1-693; JJT1-160); TH414C (S/N: KEK1-307; RWW1-159); TH417C (S/N: RRJ1-217; RRW1-178); TH514C (S/N: MWC1-347; KKW1-252); TH514D (S/N: DL41-1000); TL1055C (S/N: MDD1-196; KDE1-1141); TL1255C (S/N: SXM1-173; DHW1-973); TL642C (S/N: THG1-815; THL1-203); TL943C (S/N: SXH1-227; THH1-1014)

Description Of Change: An improved factory assembly process has been implemented on the machines listed above. This new process will improve the clutch piston seal life and, also the service life of the forward High / THIRD clutch and shaft.

Adaptable To: The following changes are adaptable to the products within the listed serial numbers, and are effective with all products after the listed serial numbers.

A sizing pot tool has been introduced to the production assembly process in order to compress the piston seals prior to assembly into the transmission. This prevents the damage to the piston seals and increases the service life of the component.

The sizing pot tool and process were introduced in production on 04 February 2014, effective with the transmission serial numbers that are listed in Table 1.
