Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Tollos does not have enough information to determine the failure mode, but based upon age, it is believed that the most likely cause is simply weakening with years of wear and tear.This conclusion is based mostly on the rarity of an actuator failure.Tollos has never received a report of a linak actuator failure in the years that they have been used.
