On certain aerial devices, the hydraulic control system for the boom may not work properly in extremely cold temperatures. As a result, the upper and lower booms could continue to move after the joystick or interlock is released.
A boom that continues to move after the operator releases the controls could increase the risk of injury to the operator and nearby people.
Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and instruct them to install a jumper hose and check valve between the boom tip tank hydraulic lines. Owners will also be instructed to replace the over-center blocking cartridge. These repairs should be done prior to operating the unit in cold weather conditions.
On certain aerial devices and digger derricks, a snap ring in the hydraulic check valve assembly could fail. If this happens, the snap ring can get stuck in the hydraulic system. This could result in continued (uncontrolled) movement of the boom. Note: This recall only involves units equipped with a DC pump.
A boom that drifts or continues to move on its own could create a risk of injury to the operator and nearby people.
Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to inspect the check valve assembly. If the check valve assembly needs to be replaced, Altec will supply a replacement part or set up a service appointment with an Altec Service Center or Mobile Service Technician.
