The Stellar Slider is a hydraulic, body-loading device when mounted on a truck chassis. It
can handle a multitude of bodies ranging from flatbeds to recycling containers and
dump bodies.
Two independently controlled cylinders operate all the functions of the Slider. By varying
the cylinders operations, the Slider can be used to dump or unload a body.
The Slider consists of four basic parts: the base, dump, secondary, and jib sections. Please
take the time to familiarize yourself with the various components. Knowing the proper terminology is necessary to get the full benefit of this manual.

garments, scarves, unbuttoned jackets or
unzipped overalls, which could get caught
up in the moving parts of the hooklift.
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.
Do not allow unauthorized personnel or
equipment to enter within 10 feet of hooklift
operating area.
Never allow anyone to ride the hooklift or
load.
Trainees or untrained persons shall be under
the direct supervision of qualified persons.

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 hooklift, 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.

valve bank. If any hydraulic component is integrated after this valve the power beyond
must be installed correctly, or serious damage may incur to the hydraulic system.
1. Remove cover/access plug to reveal the power
beyond access point. Can also be used as the
Return/Tank port.
3. The Power Beyond feature is now activated and will
divert oil to alternate system via the port shown.
2. Install a 3/8” straight thread pipe plug into lower portion of cavity to activate the power beyond feature.
Use thread sealer (tape sealers not recommended.
Note:
1. The return/tank line must be connected to the
top or the side port, labeled “T”.
2. Using the return line to run auxillary equipment will
directly result in a failure and will not in any circumstance be covered under warranty.
3. A standard Stellar hooklift will have 6 hydraulic
lines attached to the valve. A Stellar hooklift with
