What's wrong?

The battery fuse holder on 2017-2020 Altec ST Spray Truck vehicles is part of the low-voltage electrical protection system. It holds the fuse in place near the battery, where the fuse is meant to open the circuit if current rises too high. That protects wiring and connected equipment from heat damage during an electrical fault.

On affected trucks, the fuse holder was not mounted correctly. Its position lets it come into contact with a battery mounting stud. When metal parts touch where they should stay separated, current can take the wrong path, causing a short circuit. In Altec's report, that condition led to a blown fuse after the holder contacted the stud.

Operators or maintenance crews can spot evidence before a failure during normal inspections. Look for signs of shorting or arcing near the battery fuse holder, including burn marks, melted material, or electrical marks around the mounting hardware.
