I was going to change out a transformer with our line truck ,Altec on a Ford 4x4 chassis , It has the bucket mounted on the boom and I had it in the store position. When I got to the job site I lowered the Boom and went to lower the bucket. When I looked , I was surprised to see that the liner was gone. The liner is secured in the fiberglass with nylon bolts and washers. They had come out and the liner had fallen out in the road . Luckily there was not a car behind us . When we came back down the road we found it in the ditch with just scratches on it . I called our garage and they came to the op center and took the liner to Dielectric test it and remounted it. Fellers check your buckets for missing bolts daily . It could save having to explain why the company is buying a wrecked car . We were lucky. Think Safety Johnny Duke Power
