Chapter 1 - Safety

Safety 1

Please Read the Following Carefully! This portion of the manual contains information regarding all Stellar manufactured cranes. Some items contained within this chapter may not apply to your specific equipment.

Safety should be the number one thought on every operator’s mind. Three factors should exist for safe operation: a qualified operator, well-maintained equipment, and the proper use of this equipment. The following information should be read and understood completely by everyone working with or near the crane before putting the unit into operation.

Please take note that Stellar Industries, Inc. is not liable for accidents incurred by the crane because of non-fulfillment from the operator’s side of current rules, laws, and regulations.

GENERAL

It is the responsibility of the owner to instruct the operator in the safe operation of your equipment and to provide the operator with properly maintained equipment.

Do not wear rings, wristwatch, jewelry, loosefitting or hanging clothing such as ties, torn garments, scarves, unbuttoned jackets or unzipped overalls, which could get caught up in the moving parts of the crane.

Keep a first-aid box and a fire extinguisher readily available on the truck. Regularly check to make sure the fire extinguisher is fully charged and the first-aid kit is stocked.

Do not use controls and hoses as handholds. These parts move and cannot provide stable support.

Never allow anyone to ride the crane hook or load.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY

Never modify or alter any of the equipment, whether mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic, without explicit approval from Stellar Industries.

Do not perform any maintenance or repair work on the crane unless authorized and trained to do so.

Trainees or untrained persons shall be under the direct supervision of qualified persons.

Do not operate equipment under the adverse influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Keep clear of all moving parts.

Always wear the prescribed personal safety devices.

Always wear approved accident-prevention clothing such as: protective helmets, anti-slip shoes with steel toes, protective gloves, antinoise headphones, protective glasses, and reflective jackets with breathing apparatus. Consult your employer regarding current safety regulations and accident-prevention equipment.

Release system pressure before attempting to make any adjustments or repairs.

Do not attempt service or repair when the PTO is engaged.

Failure to correctly plumb and wire the crane can cause a malfunction and damage to the crane and/or operator.

Decals are considered safety equipment. They must be maintained, as would other safety devices. Do not remove any Decals. Replace any Decals that are missing, damaged, or not legible. The safety instruction plates, notices, load charts and any other sticker applied to the crane or service body must be kept legible and in good condition. If necessary, replace them.

STABILITY

Know the crane components and their capabilities and limitations. Overloading the crane may result in serious injury to self and others, and damage to the equipment and immediate surroundings.

Never exceed manufacturer’s load ratings. These ratings are based on the machine’s hydraulic, mechanical, and structural design rather than stability.

The supporting surface under the service truck must be able to support the weight of the machine and its load. Use outrigger pads if necessary.

Park the vehicle on level ground and extend the outriggers fully out and then down.

Keep feet and legs clear when lowering outrigger jacks.

Never operate the crane without making sure the outriggers are positioned on stable, flat ground.

Set the parking brake and disengage the drive axle before attempting a lift.

LOAD SAFETY

Operate the crane in compliance with the load capacity chart at all times. Know the weight of the load being lifted. Do not rely on the overload device to determine maximum rated loads. If the crane is picking more than

the maximum rated load, the overload

protection device may be malfunctioning. Discontinue use immediately and contact Stellar Customer Service for support.

Never use a sling bar or anything larger than the hook throat that could prevent the hook latch from closing. This would negate the safety feature.

Do not apply side loads to the booms.

Do not walk under suspended loads.

Do not position any load over a person nor should any person be permitted to place him or herself under a load.

Do not use the boom or the winch to drag a load.

Do not use the crane boom to push downward onto anything.

ELECTROCUTION

Allow extra space for swaying power lines in windy conditions.

Keep a minimum of ten feet between any portion of the crane and an electrical line. Add an additional 12" for every additional 30,000 Volts or less.

Remember - Death or serious injury can occur when working near power lines or during electrical storms.

Use a signal person when operating near electrical sources.

ENVIRONMENT

Do not operate the crane during electrical storms.

In extreme cold, allow adequate time to warm the truck before engaging the PTO. Do not rev the truck engine and over speed the hydraulic pumps as permanent damage to the pumps may occur. Follow the vehicle owner’s manual regarding operating the vehicle in such adverse conditions.

In dusty work areas, every effort must be taken to keep dust and sand out of the moving parts of the machinery.

In high humidity work areas, keep parts as dry as possible and well lubricated.

Do not leave a crane load suspended or unattended.

Crane Controls

1. Be familiar with the sequence and operation of the crane controls.

2. Each individual crane function should have control function decals. Replace them immediately if they are missing or illegible.

3. Keep hands, feet, and control levers free from mud, grease, and oil.

4. Be familiar with the remote control and how it operates before attempting to lift a load.

5. Be prepared before beginning operation of the crane:

• All protective guards must be in place.

• Be aware of the surroundings: low branches, power lines, unstable ground.

• Be sure all safety devices provided are in place and in good operating condition.

• Be prepared for all situations. Keep fire extinguisher and first aid kit near.

• Be sure all regular maintenance has been performed.

• Visually inspect all aspects of the crane for physical damage.

• Check for fluid leaks.

• Make sure the outriggers are down and stable.

Chapter 2 - Operation

Operation 5

This chapter contains information regarding the operation of Stellar manufactured telescopic cranes. Please study the following pages to ensure your familiarity with the operation process. This understanding is vital to the safe and efficient operation of the crane.

Job-Site Set-Up

Thoroughly plan the lift before positioning the vehicle. Consider the following:

1. The vehicle should be positioned in an area free from overhead obstructions to eliminate the need for repositioning.

2. Position the vehicle so that it is impossible for any portion of the equipment to come within the minimum required safe distance of any power line. Maintain a clearance of at least 10 feet between any part of the crane, load line, or load, and any electrical line or apparatus carrying up to 50,000 volts. One foot additional clearance is required for every additional 30,000 volts or less. Remember to allow for winds that cause power lines to sway. It is recommended that a signal person be used when the vehicle is set-up near power lines.

3. The vehicle should also be positioned on a firm and level surface that will provide adequate support for the outrigger loading. Use extreme caution when setting up near overhanging banks or excavations.

4. The parking brake must be set on the vehicle and the drive axle disengaged before performing a crane operation.

5. The outriggers must be extended to stabilize the truck before beginning operation.

Inspection Checklist

For a more detailed outline of scheduled inspection points, refer to the Stellar Inspection Checklist at the end of this chapter. This list is an excellent guide for the inspection tasks that will help maintain the quality of your Stellar product. Feel free to photocopy the checklist as needed.

ATTENTION

Every six (6) months,

Stellar Industries recommends the first

filter change to occur after the first 250

hours of service.* The second, and

every subsequent change, should

occur after every 1,000 hours of

service. By following these guidelines,

the hydraulic oil should last up to

6,500 hours.

*Note: These recommendations are based on normal

working parameters. If operating in less than favorable

conditions (excessive dust, moisture, etc.), be sure to check

the filter gauge often for filter change notice.

remove the hydraulic

pump from the PTO and

lubricate the splines using Chelsea Lubricant #379831 or Stellar PN 20885. Failure

to lubricate shaft splines will

cause damage to the PTO

and Hydraulic pump.

Wire Rope Maintenance

Wire Rope Inspection Points

While inspection of the entire rope is required, attention should be directed to these critical points:

1. Pick-up Points for signs of wear due to stress from repeated lifts.

2. End Attachments for corrosion and broken wires at both ends of the rope. Drums for signs of corrugation and wear

3. that may lead to wire damage. Sheaves to ensure that each sheave has

4. the proper groove size and contour.

5. Abuse Points for heavy amounts of scuffing and scraping.

It is important to perform detailed inspections of all ropes associated with the crane. These inspections can be divided into two types:

1. Frequent Inspection

A. All running ropes should be inspected

once each working day. These visual observations will be concerned with discovering damage that may be an immediate hazard. The following concerns should be addressed:

1. Distortion of the rope.

2. General corrosion.

3. Broken or cut strands.

B. Use caution while inspecting sections of

rapid deterioration.

C. Use caution while inspecting boom

hoist ropes. Proper inspection is critical but difficult.

Periodic Inspection

A. Inspection frequency will be

determined by a qualified person and will be based on such factors as expected rope life, environment conditions, capacity of typical lifts, rates of usage, and exposure to shock loads. Periodic inspection needs to be performed at least annually.

B. Periodic inspections will be performed

by a qualified individual and will cover the entire length of the rope. Only the

surface wires of the rope need to be inspected. This inspection will be concerned with discovering damage that may be an immediate hazard. The following concerns should be addressed:

1. Distortion of the rope.

2. General corrosion.

3. Broken or cut strands.

4. Reduction of rope diameter.

5. Corroded or broken wires at end connections.

6. Corroded, cracked, bent, worn, or improperly applied end connections.

C. Use caution when inspecting the

following:

1. Sections in contact with saddles, equalizer sheaves, or other sheaves where rope travel is limited.

2. Sections of the rope at or near ends with corroded or broken wires.

Wire Rope Replacement

Rope replacement guidelines are as follows:

1. Broken wires, including standing ropes with more than two broken wires in one lay or more than one broken wire at an end connection.

2. Wear of one-third the original diameter of the outside wires.

3. Distortion of the rope structure.

4. Evidence of heat damage.

5. Reductions from nominal diameters of more than 1/64 in. (0.4 mm) for diameters from 5/16 in.(19.0 mm) and 1/32 in. (0.8 mm) for diameters from 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) to and including 1/2 in. (13.0 mm).

Wire Rope Maintenance

Proper maintenance is key in ensuring a long lasting rope. These three tips will help:

1. Store the rope to prevent damage.

2. Avoid objects that may scrape, bend, or crush the wires of the rope.

3. Always keep the rope well-lubricated.

Page 17

Holding Valve Inspection Procedure

The cylinders are equipped with holding valves that prevent sudden movement of the cylinder rods in the event of a hydraulic hose or hydraulic component failure. The valve is checked in the following manner:

1. Identify the cylinder in question.

2. Identify the holding valves and the cylinder direction in question.

a. Cylinder Extend. b. Cylinder Retract.

3. Place the machine so that the cylinder will be located in the appropriate testing

position.

4. Pick the load (Do not exceed capacity, rated or stability).

5. Disengage hydraulics.

6. Operate crane functions.

A. If the cylinder creeps (lowering the

load), replace the holding valve.

B. If the cylinder does not creep (load

stays suspended), the valve is operational.

Gear-Bearing Bolt Maintenance

Anytime a gear-bearing bolt is removed, it must be replaced with a new bolt of the identical grade and size. Once a bolt has been torqued to 75% of its proof load and then removed, the torque coefficient may no longer be the same as when the bolt was new thus giving indeterminate damp loads after torquing.

Warning!

Failure to replace gear-bearing bolts may result in bolt failure due to metal fatigue causing serious injury or even death.

1. Bolt manufacturer’s particular specifications should be consulted when provided.

2. Flat washers of equal strength must be used.

3. All torque measurements are given in foot-pounds. To convert to inch-pounds, multiply by 12.

4. Torque values specified are for bolts with residual oils or no special lubricants applied. If special lubricants of high stress ability, such as Never-Seez compound graphite and oil, molybdenum disulphite, colloidal copper or white lead are applied, multiply the torque values in the charts by the factor .90. The use of Loctite does not affect the torque values listed above.

5. Torque values for socket-head capscrews are the same as for Grade 8 capscrews.

Stability Procedure

Definition of Stability for the Stellar Telescopic Crane Products:

A truck is stable until the load cannot be lifted off the ground with the winch, without tipping over the truck. Every Stellar crane installed must be tested for stability to determine the actual load capacity of the final truck package. The actual test data must be recorded and supplied with the truck at the time of in-service and should be kept with the truck at all times. The following procedure will test the truck package for stability and will provide a stability capacity chart. The load limit information shown on the stability capacity chart is formulated on 85% tipping.

Set Up:

1. Locate the truck on a test course in position for loading and engage travel brakes.

2. Set outriggers so that they make contact with firm, level footings.

3. Operate the crane under partial load to assure operator proficiency and proper

machine function.

10620 Stability Data

Max Horizontal Reach: 249” (From the center of rotation to boom tip) Stability Test Weight: 3125 lbs.

Test Procedure

1. Rotate the crane into Zone 1 position.

2. With the crane fully retracted and the boom horizontal, winch the test weight off the

ground. Note: Keep weight within six inches of the ground at all times.

3. Extend the boom outward until full extension has been reached or until the truck

becomes unstable (Again, use the winch to keep the weight within six inches of the ground.)

4. If the boom goes full extension without becoming unstable, the crane is termed stable

for this zone and 100% can be written in the Zone 1 data box.

5. If the truck becomes unstable prior to going full extension, retract the boom until the

truck becomes stable and measure the horizontal reach in this position (center of rotation to boom tip). This is the stable horizontal reach for this zone. Stable horizontal reach divided by Maximum horizontal reach multiplied by 100 equals the percentage of rated capacity for this zone. Use the following formula to determine the percentage of rated capacity:

6. Record this number in the data box for Zone 1. This is the revised capacity due to

stability for this zone.

7. Repeat this procedure for each zone until the worksheet is completed.

8. This is the revised capacity based on stability of this package.

Chapter 10 - Troubleshooting

51Troubleshooting 51

This chapter will list a number of potential problems that may occur while operating the crane. Most problems are easily solved using the solutions portion of this chapter. If problems persist, please contact Customer Service at Stellar Industries 1-800-321-3741.

Problem: Crane will not operate. Solutions:

• Make sure that the parking brake is engaged.

• Make sure that the PTO is engaged.

• Make sure that there is 12V power going to the radio receiver. If there is no power going to the receiver, trace back to the power source and check for a blown fuse or loose ground connection. Refer to radio remote troubleshooting guide at the end of this chapter.

• Make sure that the transmitter batteries are fully charged. (Rechargeable batteries are good for 11 months or 200 charges)

• Make sure that the hydraulic pump is operating at its rated flow or GPMs. Check the flow by using the flow meter to determine the GPMs. It is possible that the hydraulic pump is getting weak. If this is suspected, contact Stellar Customer Service.

Problem: Crane will operate manually but will not operate electrically. Solutions:

• Make sure that the parking brake is engaged.

• Make sure that the parking brake switch is working properly. Check the parking brake switch by performing a continuity test. If the switch is defective, simply replace it.

Problem: Not all crane functions operate using the radio remote transmitter or crane operates intermittently. Solutions:

• Make sure that the toggle switch is working properly. If the switch is defective, simply replace it.

• Make sure that there is power going from the valve bank coil solenoid or to the function that will not operate. If no power is going to the coil solenoid, check wiring connections on wire harness plug connector for broken wires, loose connection or poor crimp. If power is going to the solenoid valve, it may not be opening to allow hydraulic oil to the function that is not operating. Remove stem valve, thoroughly clean, lubricate, and reinstall valve. Do not over tighten. If the valve will not close, simply replace it.

Problem: Two functions operate at the same time while only toggling one function. Solutions:

• Make sure that the solenoid valves are all in the center position.

• Determine the function that is operating on its own. Check to see if there is power going to the solenoid valve from a function that should not be operating. If voltage is present at the solenoid valve without operating the function, the toggle switch has failed and is stuck in the “on” function. If no voltage is present, the solenoid valve may be partially open. Remove the stem valve, thoroughly clean, lubricate, and reinstall the valve. Do not over tighten. If valve will not close, simply replace it.

Problem: Winch brake will not hold. Solutions:

• Check to see if the back pressure on the return line of the winch is greater than 50 psi. Try operating a function other than the winch. Operate the function both ways and then stop. Now operate the winch. If the brake still does not hold, contact Customer Service at Stellar.

Problem: Winch will not hold load. Solutions:

• Make sure that the object being lifted does not exceed the rated capacity of the winch. Refer to the capacity chart. If the object is within the rated capacity, reposition the truck and try to lift the object without using the crane boom extensions.

• Make sure that the relief valve on the winch is set correctly. Readjust the relief valve if necessary.

Problem: Crane only operates at full speed. Solutions:

• Check to see if there is 12V power constantly going to the proportional valve. If 12 volts are showing up at the proportional valve without pulling on the transmitter trigger, the handle/trigger assembly may be defective. If 8 volts are showing at the proportional valve, it is possible that the valve is stuck open and will not close. Remove the valve, clean it thoroughly and reinstall. Do not over tighten. If the problem persists, replace the proportional valve.

• Check to see if the manual override on the proportional valve is turned out. Turn the manual override on the flow valve in.

Problem: Crane operates slowly. Solutions:

• Make sure that the crane is receiving the recommended GPMs to operate.

• Check the level of hydraulic fluid in the reservoir. Add fluid as needed.

• Check to see if the valve bank orifice is plugged. If so, replace the orifice. Call Stellar Customer Service for instructions.

• Make sure the proportional valve is receiving 12V power when fully engaging the transmitter trigger. If there is not 12V power while pulling the trigger, check for loose connections inside the transmitter or replace the handle trigger assembly. If the proportional valve is receiving 12 volts, loosen the solenoid holding nut and check to see if the solenoid coil is magnetizing. If no polarity is present, replace the coil. If coil is magnetizing, remove the stem valve, thoroughly clean, lubricate, and reinstall the valve.

Problem: Winch “Up”, Main Cylinder “Down”, and Extension Cylinder “Out” are the only functions that don’t operate. Solutions:

• Make sure that the unit 2-block weight and chain on the end of the boom are straight so they slide easily along the wire rope cable.

• Make sure that the limit switch is working properly. Disconnect the two wires connected to the limit switch and tie them together. If all functions operate, replace the limit switch.

• Make sure that the cord for the cord reel is undamaged. Check the continuity of the cord. Disconnect the cord reel from the crane harness and bypass the harness connection. If the crane operates properly, replace cord reel.

Problem: Cylinder drifts outward or downward. Solutions:

• Check to see if there is air in the hydraulic system. Operate all cylinders connected to the hydraulic system. Start with the extension cylinder, then operate the main boom, winch, rotation, and ending with the hydraulic outriggers, if installed. When operating, extend each cylinder halfway out, retract all the way in, and then extend until the cylinder rod is at the end of its stroke. Operate cylinders slowly so air is pushed thru the system to the reservoir. Repeat this cycle 2-3 times.

• Make sure the holding valves are operating properly. Remove, clean, and then inspect each holding valve. When removing a holding valve, always relieve the pressure inside the cylinder by loosening jam nut of the holding valve and turning set screw inward/clockwise. Count the number of turns until the set screw is seated. When reinstalling the holding valve, make sure the valve is reset by turning the set screw the number of turns it took to relieve the pressure. Finish by tightening the jam nut.

• Check the cylinder rod for scratches. If a scratch is located on the cylinder rod, hydraulic fluid can pass thru and cause a loss of pressure. Replace cylinder rod or cylinder.

• Check to see if the piston seals are damaged. If they show signs of damage, install a new cylinder seal kit.
