This pressure could cause the spools to remain shifted after the controller interlock is released. This could cause the boom(s) to continue moving when the controller interlock is not engaged. Death, serious injury, and/or property damage could result from uncontrolled movement.Altec requires an update kit, part number 991341507, to be installed within 120 days from the receipt of this CSN or before the unit is used in cold weather conditions, whichever comes first.
