What was wrong

Defect

IMPROPER AMOUNTS OF WELD ON MOUNTING FLANGE COULD CAUSE MOUNTING FLANGE TO LOOSEN AND SLIDE UP THE CYLINDER BARREL.

Risk

THIS COULD CAUSE THE BOX IT HOISTED TO DROP WHICH COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY TO ANYONE STANDING UNDER THE UNIT.

Manufacturer remedy

REPLACE DEFECTIVE CYLINDER WITH CYLINDERS THAT ARE WELDED ALL THE WAY AROUND THE MOUNTING FLANGE.
