2/24/2023

 

APPLIES TO:

Specific Maintainer hydraulic cranes equipped with service/mechanics truck bodies produced from March 9, 2019 through February 8, 2023.

THE REMEDY:

Maintainer will provide a software update to the HFX20m CAN control module free of charge to the customer.

 

PURPOSE:

To provide a software remedy that will prevent unintended or continued operation of the crane when not commanded by the operator.

Chronology :

Maintainer was notified by a customer on 02/02/23 that he was rotating his crane from the wireless crane remote. The remote lost link, he released the rotate function button, but the crane continued to rotate. The customer found the receiver on the crane to have no power. Maintainer was able to duplicate on a test bench that if the function is active on the transmitter when power is removed to the receiver, crane function can continue, because it is supplied power from the list HFX20m programmable controller. Power Systems tested back to version 2.06 when the product was released and was able to duplicate the failure mode. An else statement in the function block of the code was missing, preventing the stop of function output. Maintainer decided to file a recall on 02/03/23 after in house testing was completed. No property damage or bodily injury has been reported and no warranty claims have been submitted.
