- Action
- Philips sent an Customer Information letter. A document showed an incorrect torque wrench used during the assembly process which could potentially apply 4 Newton-meters less torque than specified to the system rotor counterweight bolts. Out of an abundance of caution, Philips will have a Field Service Engineer ensure the bolts on your system are correctly torqued. If you need any further information or support concerning this issue, please contact your local Philips representative. For further information please call (440) 483-5777.
