What's wrong?
The rotation bearing on the 2017-2021 Altec Aerial Device is the large turntable joint that lets the aerial device rotate on its pedestal. Grade 8 capscrews, which are high-strength bolts, clamp the outer race of that bearing in place so the joint stays tight while the boom turns and carries load.
On affected LS60 units, washers for the outer-race bolts interfere with an adjacent pedestal weld. That overlap deforms the washers instead of letting them sit flat. The deformed washer puts added stress into the fastener, and that stress can break the rotation bearing bolts.
An operator or technician can see the washer-to-weld interference during a before-use walkaround or preventive maintenance inspection. Broken rotation bearing fasteners can also be found by visual inspection or during a preventive maintenance torque check.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
Broken rotation bearing bolts can let the pedestal separate from the turntable, raising the risk of injury. Pre flight or preventive maintenance inspection can reveal washer interference, weld contact, or broken fasteners before use. If anything looks loose, damaged, or out of position, keep the unit out of service and arrange inspection. Repair is free at any franchised Altec dealer.
