If an unbalanced pole is being manipulated, it could be released, resulting in loss of control of the load.
Safety risk
If an operator loses of control of the load, it could create a risk of injury.

Altec Industries will notify the owner by mail and provide them a guard kit to install it over the pole guide controls.
