Product Notes
- Companies should follow boom truck manufacturer guidelines on the frequency of dielectric testing, proper cleaning practice, and other maintenance procedures. The ANSI A92.2-1990 Standard (Section 5.4.3) also addresses proper dielectric testing intervals and field inspections for aerial truck testing.
- Common degreasers or solvents can harm and strip the gel coat on the boom, causing weak or soft spots. Many crews have access to solvents and know how well they remove grease, but such solvents can be harmful to the fiberglass portion of the boom arm or bucket. Some cleaners contain abrasives and leave a considerable residue. Others, like acetone, xylene, and toluene, can cause permanent damage if left in contact with the surface too long. These solvents are also flammable and often hazardous. Personnel should be trained to use only BOOM Wipes for the boom and bucket areas to keep the truck in proper working order.
- After cleaning a boom or bucket truck with BOOM Wipes, the fiberglass areas should be treated with Polywater Wax to protect the gel coat surface. Available in a 16oz (475 ml) bottle (catalog # W-16) or pre-saturated wipes (catalog # W-1).
