DEFECT #2 - SUSPENSION: ADJUSTMENT:AUTOMATIC ELECTRICAL/HYDRAULIC
Posted on: 2020-11-18
Description
Altec industries inc. (altec) is recalling certain 2006-2020 ah150 and ah125s articulating non-overcenter aerial devices. The incorrect counterbalance valve may have been installed in the main lift cylinder. As a result, at certain boom positions the counterbalance valve will open due to the pressure in the cylinder exceeding the setting.
