Issue
On certain aerial devices, the hydraulic control system for the boom may not work properly in extremely cold temperatures. As a result, the upper and lower booms could continue to move after the joystick or interlock is released.
Safety Risk
A boom that continues to move after the operator releases the controls could increase the risk of injury to the operator and nearby people.
Corrective Actions
Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and instruct them to install a jumper hose and check valve between the boom tip tank hydraulic lines. Owners will also be instructed to replace the over-center blocking cartridge. These repairs should be done prior to operating the unit in cold weather conditions.
