  • STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERSUS

    A cable step that fails during use increases the risk of injury.

  • EQUIPMENTUS

    If the bolts come loose, the winch motor may detach causing the load to fall, which may result in personal injury.

  • ELECTRICAL SYSTEMUS

    If the module overheats, there is an increased risk of a fire.

  • EQUIPMENTUS

    If the fasteners are loose or improperly torqued, structural failure may result, causing unexpected movement of the digger derrick and increasing the risk of injury.

    Without an alert, there is a greater risk of unit instability or a loss of load control, increasing the risk of injury.

  • EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:WINCHUS

    Unexpected winch movement may increase the risk of injury.

  • STRUCTUREUS

    If the fasteners that attach the rotation platform to the truck fail, the digger boom may unintentionally move, increasing the risk of injury to the user or those nearby.

  • ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLYUS

    An electrical short can increase the risk of a fire.

  • ELECTRICAL SYSTEMUS

    If the grounding system fails, the user has an increased risk of injury.

  • EQUIPMENTUS

    If the outriggers continue to retract without command, the unit may become unstable and collapse, increasing the risk of injury or death to those nearby.

  • EQUIPMENTUS

    An unintentionally engaged joystick could result in uncontrolled movement of an unbalanced load, increasing the risk of injury.

  • EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:BOOM/CRANE/LADDER:CONTROLS/CONTROL WIRINGUS

    A nonfunctional overload protection system may result in the operator unknowingly overloading the system, increasing the risk of injury.

  • STRUCTURE:BODYUS

    A missing weld on the rear pole rack can lead to a crack that could cause the pole and rack to drop in height, increasing the risk of an injury.

  • EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTSUS

    If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.

  • STRUCTUREUS

    If the step separates from the platform, it can increase the risk of injury.

  • EQUIPMENT:MECHANICALUS

    An auger extension bar that detaches while the digger drive unit is deployed, can increase the risk of injury to nearby personnel.

  • STRUCTUREUS

    If the fasteners fail, the pedestal may separate from the turn table, increasing the risk of injury.

  • STRUCTUREUS

    If the fasteners break, the pedestal or turntable may separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

  • EQUIPMENTUS

    If the fasteners break, the pedestal may separate from turntable, increasing the risk of injury or death.

  • EQUIPMENTUS

    Unintended boom movement may result in potential injury and or property damage.

  • EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:BOOM/CRANE/LADDERUS

    Shear plate failure can result in the separation of the subbase and truck frame, increasing the risk of injury.

  • EQUIPMENTUS

    If the pole guide is opened while performing other operations, the pole may become unbalanced and cause loss of control of the load, increasing the risk of injury or death.

  • EQUIPMENTUS

    If the fasteners break, the pedestal may separate from the turntable, increasing the risk of injury or death.

  • EQUIPMENT:EMERGENCY:SIREN/LIGHTING/STROBESUS

    An electrical short-circuit can increase the risk of a fire.

  • EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:BOOM/CRANE/LADDERUS

    Lifting loads above the boom capacity could overload the unit and cause instability, increasing the risk of injury.

  • ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE/IPDMUS

    An engine that starts unexpectedly increases the risk of injury to anyone near the engine compartment during maintenance operations.

  • ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRINGUS

    When the vehicle is moved or driven with the boom out of stow, the vehicle could exceed the recorded travel height, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • STRUCTURE:CRITICAL FASTENERSUS

    An incorrect bolt in the derrick rotation bearing may cause the adjacent bolts to be overloaded during operation, which could cause separation of the rotation bearing, and increase the risk of an injury.

  • ELECTRICAL SYSTEMUS

    Without a circuit breaker, the AC circuit may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.

  • FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKINGUS

    An improperly calibrated system may have a delayed braking response, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:BOOM/CRANE/LADDER:TURNTABLEUS

    Gearbox failure may result in unexpected turntable rotation, increasing the risk of injury.

  • STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERSUS

    A front bumper that detaches can become a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash. In addition, the bolts can fail suddenly during winch operation, increasing the risk of injury.

  • ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITIONUS

    An engine shutdown increases the risk of a crash.

  • ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERSUS

    Wiring without adequate protection may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.

  • EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:CARRIER/RACKUS

    While using the pole rack at full capacity, an incorrect high vertical center of gravity during braking and cornering may lead to a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELSUS

    An incorrect pressure rating may lead to underinflated tires, increasing the risk of a tire blowout or a crash.

  • ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITIONUS

    An engine shutdown increases the risk of a crash.

  • EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:BOOM/CRANE/LADDERUS

    Unintended boom movement increases the risk of injury.

  • STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERSUS
