Altec recalls 2025–2026 AM Series aerial devices because emergency stop switch may not cut power
The emergency stop switch at the turntable does not work when the upper controls interlock is active, so the upper and lower controls can stay powered when it is pressed, which raises the risk of injury.
What to do
Check whether an adapter harness is installed; if it is, tell Altec and nothing more is needed. If not, Altec will provide a free repair kit; call Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832 and mention recall number CSN-3307.
