What NHTSA recorded

Possible consequence

The improperly sized opening may allow the exposed metal tip of the boom to contact an electrically energized conductor, such as an overhead wire, increasing the risk of a injury to the boom operator.

Remedy

Altec will notify owners, and dealers will replace any boom tip cover that has an improperly sized opening, free of charge. The recall began on December 1, 2016. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-205-991-7733.
