The defect

The risk
While in tilt position, lift may become unseated from the ladder causing front end of lift to fall, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
ATC will notify owners and dealers will replace the existing guide blocks with an improved guide block made from Nylatron, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin February 10, 2020. Owners may contact ATC customer service at 1-877-441-2440, extension 342.
