Defect description

Altec is recalling certain model year 2005-2013 AH75/85/100 aerial devices manufactured April 2005 through April 2013; and equipped with current leakage monitoring systems.

If the gap is breached, then the boom may conduct electrical current, increasing the risk of electrical shock to the operator.
