Chapter 1 - Safety

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 Stellar crane 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 beginning.

Stellar Industries, Inc. is not liable for accidents occurred during the usage of the crane caused by 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.

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.

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 Stellar Industries’ approval.

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

Release system pressure before attempting to make adjustments or repairs.

Do not attempt service or repair when PTO is engaged.

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.

Stellar 6000 Manual

1-1

STABILITY

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

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

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. No crane is designed for these types of loads.

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

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.

Never use a sling bar or anything larger than the hook throat that could prevent the hook latch from closing, thus negating the safety feature.

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.

Do not apply side loads to the booms.

Do not leave a crane load suspended or unattended.

Do not walk under suspended loads.

Stellar 6000 Manual

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.

1-2

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.

Chapter 2 - Operation

Job-Site Set-Up

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

. 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.

Crane Precautions

Crane Transport

. Movement of the control levers should be slow

and smooth to meter oil flow for safe operation. Avoid jerky and sudden movements.

2. The crane controls should be clearly marked with decals. If these are missing or illegible,replace immediately. (See Chapter 5: Decals)

3. Lift load slightly off the ground to check the safety of the cargo. Do not use stability to determine the safety. Consult the capacity charts and strictly adhere to them.

4. Be constantly aware of the boom position when operating the controls.

5. The boom tip should be centered directly over the load before making the lift to avoid swinging.

6. Do not drag loads with the crane.

7. Do not attempt to lift fixed loads.

8. Do not load boom in a sideways direction.

9. Know the weight of the rigging and load to avoid overloading the crane.

10. Do not extend or rotate a load over anyone.

11. Wear protective gear such as hard hat, safety glasses, steel-toed boots, and gloves.

efore transporting the crane, do the

following:

1. The crane must be in the stored position.

2. Outriggers must be securely stowed and not extended horizontally or vertically.

3. Hook and sheave assemblies must be securely fastened to prevent swinging.

4. All loose accessories, tools, and remote controls must be securely stored in their respective compartments or fasteners.

5. The PTO must be disengaged.

6. The parking brake must not be released until all of the above procedures are completed.

7. Do not drive the carrier vehicle while a load is present on the hook.

8. Do not drive the carrier vehicle with less than proper tire inflation.

9. Do not drive the carrier vehicle in areas where the vertical clearance is unknown.

10. Do not allow personnel to ride on the

equipment during transport.

Hook Precautions

1. Hooks are designed and manufactured to lift specific loads. The specified rated load of a hook applies to loads held uniformly in direct tension and does not take into account shock loads, hook tip loading, side loading, bending, torsional, or related loads. Do not attempt to lift a load that is larger than

2. the load rating of the hook.

3. Never use a hook’s yield point as an indicator of its capacity

4. Do not use a hook to lift personnel.

5. Know the rated load of the hook in use.

6. Never weld attachments to a finished hook in field applications. This will alter and destroy the design properties of the hook material. Keep fingers, hands, body

7. from between the hook and the load.

8. Avoid shock loading.

9. Inspect the hook regularly for excessive wear and maintain it in safe operating condition.

When using the torque data in the charts above, the following rules should be observed.

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.
