On a small number of digger derricks, during a stability test, the connectors to a relay may have been reattached incorrectly. As a result, the hydraulic overload protection system may not work properly. If this happens, the unit could be overloaded.
An overloaded digger derrick could create a risk of injury.
Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to inspect, and if necessary, properly reattach the relay connectors.
Accessories using chassis air supply could be missing pressure protection valves. This could cause a loss of air pressure to the service brakes through the accessory air system. Note: This is an expansion of Altec recall CSN 724 (Transport Canada Recall No. 2019-348).
A loss of pressure to the service brakes could increase the risk of injury.
Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and instruct them to inspect their unit for proper pressure protection installations. If the unit fails the inspection, owners are to install the missing pressure protection valves.
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.
The slope indicator placard on certain digger derricks may have incorrect information. This could make a user think that it is not necessary to level the unit while working on a slope. A unit that is not properly levelled could be unstable.
An unstable derrick unit could create a risk of injury.
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to remove the incorrect slope indicator placard.
