In order to allow equitable parts availability to all participating dealers, please limit your initial parts order to not exceed 22% of dealership population. This is an initial order recommendation only, and the ultimate responsibility for ordering the total number of parts needed to satisfy the program lies with the dealer.
ACTION REQUIRED
An updated Engine Software version is available and can be downloaded on certain European Union(EU) 140M Non-AWD Motor Graders in the field.

- Obtain the correct Software Flash File (P/N 352-4696) from SISWeb.
- Download Software Flash File (P/N 352-4696) to the hard drive of the laptop computer.
- Install the Software Flash File (P/N 352-4696) on the Engine ECM using the WINFlash program.
** After the flashing of the Engine ECM, start the machine and verify that all ECM
systems are functional.
