with properly maintained equipment.
Trainees or untrained persons shall be under
the direct supervision of qualified persons.
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, anti-noise headphones, protective
glasses, breathing apparatus, and reflective
jackets. Consult your employer regarding
current safety regulations and accidentprevention equipment.
Do not wear rings, wristwatch, jewelry,
loose-fitting 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 Cable
Hoist.
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 Cable
Hoist operating area.
Do not operate equipment under the
adverse influence of alcohol, drugs, or
medication.

Cross-sections illustrating three sheeve-groove conditions.
A is correct, B is too tight, and C is too loose.
Inspection of Sheaves
Under normal conditions, machines should
receive periodic inspections, and their overall condition recorded. Such inspections
usually include the sheaves, and any other
parts that may come into contact with the
wire rope and subject it to wear. As an
additional precaution, rope related working
parts, particularly in the area described
below, should be re-inspected prior to the
installation of a new cable.
The very first item to be checked when
examining the sheaves is the condition of
the grooves. To check the size, contour and
amount of wear, a groove gage is used. As
shown in the illustration to the right of this
paragraph, the gage should contact the
groove for about 150º of arc.
Two types of groove gages are in general
use and it is important to not e which of these
is being used. The two differ by their respective percentage over nominal.
For new or re-machine grooves, the groove
gage is nominal plus the full oversize percentage. The gage carried by most wire
rope representatives today is used for worn
grooves and is made nominal plus 1/2 the
oversize percentage.
The latter gage is intended to act as a sort
of “no-go” gage. Any sheave with a groove
smaller than this must be replaced or, in all
likelihood, the existing rope will be damaged.
Experience has clearly demonstrated that
the service life of the wire rope will be materially increased by strict adherence to these
standards.

Select an area for assembly that will be
large enough to accommodate the completed unit. The surface of the work area
should be as level as possible. Use the
proper hand tools to ensure proper bolt
tightness. Refer to the chart below for the
recommended torque values for different
sizes of bolts.
Recommended Torque Values in Foot
Pounds
For SAE GRADE 2 and GRADE 5 coarse
thread cap screws and bolts shown are
suggested maximum for fasteners, carrying
only the residue oil of the manufacturer.
Proper Bolt Use
Do not use these values if a different torque
value or tightening procedure is given for a
specific application. Torque values listed
are for general use only. Check tightness of
fasteners periodically.
Sheer bolts are designed to fail under predetermined loads. Always replace shear
bolts with identical grade.
Fasteners should be replaced with the
same or higher grade. If higher grade fas-
teners are used, these should only be tightened to the strength of the original.
Tighten plastic insert or crimped steel-type
lock nuts to approximately 110 percent of
the dry torque values shown in the chart
below, applied to the nut, not to the bolt
head. Tighten toothed or serrated-type
lock nuts to the full torque value.
Note: “Lubricated” means coated with a
lubricant such as engine oil, or fasteners
with phosphate and oil coatings. “Dry”
means plain or zinc plated without lubrication. Tighten lubricated bolts to approximately 80% of dry bolts.

Model Number
Know the model number of the Stellar
Cable Hoist being mounted. Use this model
number whenever referring to the assembly
or parts listing pages. The number is
stamped on the name plate which is located on the front frame member.
Right and Left sides can be established by
standing behind the truck frame and looking towards the front, or the direction of
travel.
Stellar Cable Hoist Owner’s Manual
Minimum Axle Rating:
Front: 18,000 lbs.
Rear: 44,000 lbs. with walking beam type suspension
Frame Strength:
Total RBM per frame rail = 2,400,000 in-lbs. (both channels)
Section Modulus (minimum) = 32 in

for 36,000 PSI steel
Section Modulus (minimum) = 24 in
3
for 55,000 PSI steel
Important: If your truck chassis height exceeds the 45” dimension, or tire dimension is
greater than 102”, the O.R.X. or I.O.X. hoist should be considered.
Relocate the rear axles as required.
Stellar Autotarper must have 10”
to 12” unobstructed space behind
cab for installation.
Refer to dimensional drawings on the following pages
for placement of step cut in relation to cab boundary.
Truck Chassis Specifications
See the illustrations on pages 15-17 at the front of this manual for specific details.
1. Thoroughly check the truck requirements to ensure proper clearance and frame
strength before mounting the hoist. Note: The rear cab boundary is the rearmost
unremovable protrusion behind the cab and above the chassis frame.
2. The CT, from the rear of the cab boundary to the center of the walking beam suspension, is shown in the table below:
Step 1: Truck Frame Cut-Off
Measure and mark the truck frame as shown below. Use the dimensional drawings on
the following pages to determine where to mark the first vertical cut on the frame rail.
Measure assembled hoist to be sure that adequate room is available behind truck cab;
between bumper and tires; and between fender and tires. This verifies that a measurement error has not been made either in the CT (Cab to Trunnion) or cut-off dimension.
After double checking your measurements, step-cut the truck frame as shown below.
