The issue
Issue: On a small number of aerial devices, a weld could interfere with the washers for the bolts that attach the rotation bearing to the pedestal. As a result, the bolts could fail, and the pedestal and turntable could separate from the vehicle. Safety Risk: A pedestal and turntable that separate from the vehicle could create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and provide them with instructions for how to inspect the outer rotation bolt washers for interference with the weld. If there is interference between the washer and the weld, Altec will repair the pedestal, as necessary.
Description (français)
Problème : Sur un petit nombre de dispositifs aériens, une soudure pourrait nuire à la rondelle des boulons qui fixent le palier de rotation au support. En conséquence, les boulons pourraient se briser et le support et la plaque tournante pourraient se détacher du véhicule. Risques pour la sécurité : Un support et une plaque tournante qui se détachent du véhicule pourraient blesser quelqu'un. Mesures correctives : Altec Industries doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur donner des instructions sur la manière d'inspecter la rondelle des boulons pour voir si la soudure lui nuit. Si tel est le cas, Altec doit réparer le support au besoin.
