Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and instruct you to contact Altec Service to add a relay that is fused separately from the ignition circuit.

17 units affected
Issue: On certain aerial devices, the 120 V electrical outlet from the generator does not have proper circuit protection.

Corrective Actions: Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and instruct you to contact Altec Service to install a new ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet with a circuit breaker and new wiring.
