The problem
ON CERTAIN TRAILER MOUNTED AERIAL WORK PLATFORM BOOMS, THE HOLD DOWN BRACKET THAT SECURES THE MAST/UPPER STRUCTURE FOR TRANSPORT MAY BECOME DAMAGED OR LOOSE OVER TIME. IF THE MAST HOLD-DOWN BRACKET SUSTAINS STRUCTURAL DAMAGE, IT MAY NO LONGER BE CAPABLE OF HOLDING THE TRAILER MAST IN PLACE DURING TRANSPORT.
Risk
THIS COULD RESULT IN UPPER STRUCTURE MOVEMENT AND COULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE TRAILER BECOMING UNSTABLE WHEN ROUNDING A CORNER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
What owners should do
GENIE WILL PROVIDE A MAST CRADLE REPLACEMENT KIT TO OWNERS OF ALL AFFECTED MACHINES FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 5, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT GENIE AT 866-927-7269.
