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.
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.
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.
Release system pressure before attempting to make any adjustments or repairs.
Do not attempt service or r 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.

Chapter 2 - Operation

Operation 3
This chapter contains information regarding the operation of Stellar manufactured articulating 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.

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 tor
que values in the charts by the factor .90. The use of Loctite does not affect the tor
que values listed
above.
5. Torque values for socket-head capscrews are the same as for Grade 8 capscrews.

General Installation

This chapter is designed to serve as a general guide for the installation of a Stellar 9000 Articulating Crane on a Stellar Service Body. Each installation is considered unique so certain portions of this chapter may or may not apply to your direct application. If a question should arise during the installation process, please contact Stellar Customer Service at (800) 321
3741.
This crane is designed for use with a Stellar Service Body installed on a vehicle that meets the minimum chassis requirements of the crane. Check with Stellar Industries before installing this crane on a body other than a Stellar Service Body.
WARNING!
The use of this crane on a body not
capable of handling the loads imposed on
it may result in serious injury or death.
Notice:
PTO and Pump installation instructions are provided by the corresponding manufacturers. For more information on which PTO and Pump fit your application, please contact your local Stellar Distributor or Stellar Customer Service.

Installation Notice

According to Federal Law (49 cfr part 571), each final-stage manufacturer shall complete the vehicle in such a manner that it conforms to the standards in effect on the date of manufacture of the incomplete vehicle, the date of final completion, or a date between those two dates. This requirement shall, however, be superseded by any conflicting provisions of a standard that applies by its terms to vehicles manufactured in two or more stages.
Therefore, the installer of Stellar cranes and bodies is considered one of the manufacturers of the vehicle. As such a manufacturer, the installer is responsible for compliance with all applicable federal and state regulations. They are required to certify that the vehicle is in compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and other regulations issued under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Please reference the Code of Federal Regulations, title 49 - Transportation, Volume 5 (400-999), for further information, or visit http://www.gpoaccess.gov/nara/index.html for the full text of Code of Federal Regulations.

WARNING!
Please read the following section before
performing any work on the
hydraulic/electrical system of your crane.
This section contains vital safety information
and maintenance guidlines for your crane.
If questions should arise, please contact
Stellar Customer Service at 800-321-3741
Never modify or alter any of the equipment, whether mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic, without Stellar Industries’ approval.
Release system pressure before attempting to make adjustments or repairs.
Do not attempt service or repair when PTO is engaged.
Disassemble and assemble hydraulic components on a clean surface.
the boom or crane.
Contaminants in a hydraulic system affect operation and will result in serious damage to the system components. Dirty hydraulic systems are a major cause of component failures.
If evidence of foreign particles is found in the hydraulic system, flush the system.
When installing metal hydraulic tubes, tighten all bolts finger tight. Then , in order, tighten the bolts at the rigid end, the adjustable end, and the mounting brackets. After tubes are mounted, install the hoses. Connect both ends of the hose with all bolts finger tight. Position the hose so it does not rub the machine or another hose and has a minimum of bending and twisting. Tighten bolts in both couplings.
33Hydraulics - Electrical 33
Clean all metal parts in a nonflammable cleaning fluid. Then lubricate all components to aid in assembly.
Hydraulic fluid expands when heated. This raises the pressure in an unventilated tank. Release the tank pressure before removing the cap completely. Failure to do so may cause the oil to shoot out of the tank very rapidly and cause severe burns.
Warning! If hydraulic fluid escapes, the boom or crane can fall immediately. Make sur

Chapter 10 - Troubleshooting

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 there is 12V power going to the radio receiver. If there is no power going to the r 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 parking brake is
engaged.
• Make sure that the parking brake switch is working pr brake switch by performing a continuity test. If the switch is defective, simply replace it.
eceiver, trace back to the
operly. Check the parking
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
• manual override sleeves 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 fr 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: 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 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.
, check for
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 r 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.

Indicator Lights Description Solution
Transmitter is ON The reason is the transmitter is not communicating with the receiver.
Refer to Trouble Shooting Chart #3 for solutions
Transmitter is ON A low battery condition has been de­tected.
To detect intermittent conditions caused by poor or corroded ground or power circuits, the GREEN light will continue to flash for 30 seconds after the condition has been removed.
Transmitter is ON An internal fault with the E-Stop has been
detected.
Inspect E-Stop wiring for short circuit. Disconnect E-Stop wire as close to the receiver output as possible. If the Status light changes to:
GREEN, a short occurs after disconnection point.

Transmitter is ON A short to ground or excessive current draw on an output. It is most likely caused by a wiring fault.
Ensure transmitter is functioning properly, check status of each output connection: Press each function button and observe Fault Light.
If GREEN, everything is OK.
If RED, there is a short in that connection.
Transmitter is ON The E-Stop output has been connected with one of the other outputs
Follow the wire and check for connections with other wires, discon­nect to see if condition clears. If not, call for service.
Transmitter is OFF A wiring short to the battery has been detected.
Refer to Trouble Shooting Chart #1 for solutions
Transmitter is OFF The receiver has detected an internal fault.
Refer to Trouble Shooting Chart #1 for solutions
Transmitter is OFF Blown fuse detected.

Transmitter and receiver should be working properly. The problem may rest with the machine instead of the radio system
Call for service
Was it found?
Turn on the transmitter to check if the units function correctly. If not, proceed to Chart 1
NO
YES
The transmitter code may need to be re-downloaded to the receiver
NO
!!Caution!!
Note: Before you proceed with the Download ID procedure located on Page 8, great
care and caution must be adhered to.
If by accident, the transmitters have been switched with another unit, by downloading the ID code to a new receiver, it is possible for the transmitter to operate 2 units at the same time (if the original receiver unit is still on the job site). Therefore it must be certain that the transmitter / receiver pair are the correct set.
Secondly, once the download procedure is completed, ensure all other units on the job site are stopped. Test the operation of the newly configured set to ensure no other machines on the site work with the same transmitter.
Once you are certain that the transmitter / receiver pair are a unique set, continue normal operations.

Reprogramming the System Considerations
Potential reprogramming issues
If testing of the receiver and transmitter both yield positive results (Chart 1 & 2), then the transmitter and receiver will both go into Download/Calibration mode.
Possible issues will arise during Step 4, the download phase of reprogramming. In this case there are 2 symptoms to look for:
1. The Link light on the receiver will not turn GREEN when the power switch is toggled on the transmitter to download
2. The receiver will “time out” indicating that it didn’t receive a signal from the transmitter within the 30 seconds from the time the receiver was put into Setup Mode.
If all indications appear normal during the download phase, test the link by turning on the transmitter (note: the transmit­ter shuts off after transmitting the ID code in Step 4)
1. If the Link light on the receiver doesn’t turn GREEN, the receiver didn’t receive all of the information that was sent from the transmitter.
Possible Solutions
1. Try the Reprogramming steps again
2. If this doesn’t correct the problem, send both the transmitter and receiver in for service.
Note: you could try to determine whether the fault lies with the transmitter or receiver by completing the Reprogram­ming procedure with a different transmitter. If this step works, then the fault lies with the original transmitter. If not, the fault may lie with the receiver.
!!Caution!!
Note: Before attempting reprogramming with another transmitter, understand that re-
programming the receiver with another transmitter, could result in two receivers on the job site responding to the one transmitter. If the original transmitter was sent in for repair, disconnect the receiver (disconnect connector A) to continue using the machine without remote capability and without fear of inadvertently operating the machine with the other transmitter.
Connector A
Reprogramming Tips:
1. Use a pointy instrument to depress the Setup button on the receiver (i.e. a pen) as the button is relatively small
2. Follow each step as laid out in the procedure
3. Never lay the receiver circuit board down on anything metallic (there are contact points on the back which could con­tact the metal and damage the receiver)
