Electrical system
Problem: Altec is recalling certain model year 2005-2013 AH75/85/100 aerial devices manufactured April 2005 through April 2013; and equipped with current leakage monitoring systems. The cable for the current leakage monitoring system may be too long and may breach the gap provided by the lower boom fiberglass insert chassis insulating system.
Risk: If the gap is breached, then the boom may conduct electrical current, increasing the risk of electrical shock to the operator.
Fix: Altec will notify owners and dealers will inspect and properly secure the leakage monitor cable. The recall is expected to begin during September 2013. Altec's recall number is CSN 585. Owners may contact Altec at 1-877-462-5832.
Equipment
Problem: Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain model year 2002-2010 AH75, AH85 and AH100 aerial devices equipped with square pedestals. In the affected vehicles, the aerial device may develop cracks between the pedestal and the unit subbase.
Risk: Cracks in the pedestal may cause the aerial device to fail, increasing the risk of personal injury.
Fix: Altec will notify owners informing them to inspect the pedestal and if any cracks are found, they will be repaired free of charge. The recall began on August 5, 2013. Owners may contact Altec at 1-800-860-0183. Altec's recall number is CSN 580.
Equipment
Problem: Altec Industries, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2002-2009 AH75/85/100 and HL125 aerial device vehicles equipped with 16-foot radial outriggers. An improper torque was applied to the outrigger cylinder piston retention system during assembly. As a result, the cylinder could loosen from the rod allowing the outrigger leg to protrude beyond the confines of the chassis when it is in a stowed position.
Risk: If the cylinder loosens from the rod, the outrigger could strike a person or object, increasing the risk of injury or property damage.
Fix: Altec will notify owners, and will increase the torque on the piston free of charge. The safety recall began on November 6, 2012. Owners may contact Altec Industries at 1-877-462-5832.
