Issue: On certain aerial devices, the hydraulic feeder tube could become damaged by contact with the cylinder rest bracket. As a result, the feeder tube could leak oil. If this happens, there could be an uncontrolled movement of the boom. Safety Risk: Uncontrolled boom movement could increase the risk of injury to the operator and nearby people. Corrective Actions: Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and advise you to contact Altec Service to inspect and, if necessary, replace the cylinder rest pad and feeder tube. To reduce the safety risk, Altec advises to periodically inspect the feeder tube for signs of damage until the recall repairs are completed.

Issue: On certain aerial devices, a hydraulic hose may have been incorrectly installed between the cylinder port and load-holding valve instead of metal tubing.

Corrective Actions: Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and advise you to contact Altec Service to inspect if a hydraulic hose is installed, and replace it with metal tubing as required.

If any bolts are marked with the number "6035”, the owner must do a torque check. If any of the bolts break during the torque check, take the unit out of service and replace the bolts. The bolts marked with the number 6035 that pass the torque check will also have to be replaced within 30 days.
