The hazard
Issue: On certain digger derricks, the auger stow bracket could crack and detach from the boom. Safety Risk: An auger bracket that detaches could create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and instruct you to contact Altec Service to inspect the base boom for cracks. Any cracks will be repaired. If the cracks aren't repairable, the base boom will be replaced. Additionally, a new horizontal auger stow support bracket will be welded to the boom.
