The hazard
Issue: On certain aerial devices and digger derricks, a snap ring in the hydraulic check valve assembly could fail. If this happens, the snap ring can get stuck in the hydraulic system. This could result in continued (uncontrolled) movement of the boom. Note: This recall only involves units equipped with a DC pump. Safety Risk: A boom that drifts or continues to move on its own could create a risk of injury to the operator and nearby people. Corrective Actions: Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and provide you with instructions for how to inspect the check valve assembly. If the check valve assembly needs to be replaced, Altec will supply a replacement part or set up a service appointment with an Altec Service Center or Mobile Service Technician.
