Reason:
Weyerhaeuser
and Alliance have agreed to make the following changes to the
operating functionality of the MSK and SMR circuits on a variety
of Alliance machine product lines.
Alliance has
redesigned the SMR circuits to operate as agreed. A second SMR
and additional wiring is added, with the result that the E-stop
and MSK circuits are separated. This design change became
effective Nov 10, 2005 for machines in the affected product
lines that will be delivered to Weyerhaeuser.
This service
bulletin provides instructions to retrofit the same revised
circuit changes into the delivered machines noted in Table 1.
Instructions are grouped into separate appendixes per each
respective machine class. Please note that only the applicable
instruction appendixes for the affected machine types are being
sent to each affected Weyerhaeuser location.

Recommended
action:
Alliance
recommends that you perform the modification as described below
within 30 days after receipt of this service bulletin.
For tracking
purposes please send a confirmation of completion to Alliance
and Weyerhaeuser corporate management within 3 days of
completing this service bulletin modification on each affected
machine. The confirmation forms and self-addressed envelopes are
attached at the end of this service bulletin. Once this
information is received at Alliance, a post-modification visit
will then be scheduled with each plant to test & certify that
each completed retrofit installation operates as intended.
