Failure of a boom lift cylinder hose that is not protected by a velocity fuse can result in uncontrolled boom movement.
Risk: Uncontrolled movement of the boom lift increases the risk of injury.
Fix: Altec will notify owners and will inspect the hose to verify that it is connected properly, repairing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began January 30, 2020. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is MAB 748.
