Altec Industries affected devices may allow electricity to be conducted through the boom due to water entering into the fiberglass layers.
The short version
Altec Industries Inc. reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected devices may allow electricity to be conducted through the boom due to water entering into the fiberglass layers. Additionally, the joint connecting the fiberglass insert and the steel boom components may fail.
A fiberglass lower boom insert that can conduct electricity increases the risk of electrocution to the operator should the boom contact a power line. If the joint between the fiberglass insert and the steel boom component fails, the boom may fall, putting the operator at an increased risk of injury.
Altec will notify owners, and dealers will do supplemental dielectric testing and replace the lower boom, free of charge.
