to and excessive forces on the unit, through vehicular
accidents, rollovers, excessive loading, and the like, may
result in structural damage not obvious during a visual

a qualified person may need to perform additional testing
such as magnaflux or ultrasonic testing as applicable. If
structural damage is suspected or found, contact Altec
for additional instructions.
