& Stellar Cable Hoist Owner’s Manual

Chapter 1 - Safety

Safety
Please Read the Following Carefully!
This portion of the manual contains informa­tion regarding all Stellar manufactured Cable Hoists. 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 Cable Hoist prior to put­ting the unit into operation.
Please take note that Stellar Industries, Inc. is not liable for accidents incurred by the Cable Hoist because of non-fulfillment from the operator’s side of current rules, laws, and regulations.
General Safety
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.
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.
Read all safety decals on the equipment and understand their meaning.
Personal Safety
Keep clear of all moving parts.
Never allow anyone under any portion of the hoist unless the hoist is firmly resting in the hoist props.
Never allow anyone to ride the Cable Hoist or load.
Operation Safety
Never operate the hoist unless the hydraulic system, including the cylinders and lines, are full of oil and free of air.
Check the area for power lines and over­head obstructions.
Do not load, dump or unload a container on uneven ground.
Stellar Cable Hoist Owner’s Manual
Do not move the truck while the hoist and container are raised. A raised load creates a top heavy unstable load.
Do not use a chain between the reeving cable and the container. A chain will not withstand the force applied to the cable.
Do not use any method to hold a valve open which will not let the valve close auto­matically when released.
Always keep the cable centered on the hoist frame. Do not allow the cable to rub on any surface when loading or unloading a container.
Do not operate the reeving cylinders to load or unload a container unless the front of the hoist frame is above the top of the truck cab.
Maintenance Safety
Never modify or alter any of the equipment, whether mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic, without Stellar Industries’ approval.
Be sure safety decals are clean and in place.
Check the reeving cable for wear and fray­ing.
Do not perform any maintenance or repair work on the Cable Hoist 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.
ATTENTION
Stellar Industries, Inc. is not liable for acci-
dents incurred by the Cable Hoist because
of the operator’s non-fulfillment of current
rules, laws and regulations.

General Guidlines for Operation of the Cable Hoist

Loading a Container
1. Back the truck up to the container to be loaded and align the hoist rails with the container long sills. Caution: Be sure the area in which the hoist is to be operated is clear of personnel and obstacles ­overhead and on the ground.
2. Engage the PTO and raise the hoist until the rear roller is on the ground.
3. Set the parking brakes and retract the reeving cylinders to connect the cable to the container. Caution: Do not attempt to load a container with faulty equipment. Check the condition of the cable, cable end, and container cable connection. Never lift a container heav­ier than the rated capacity of the hoist.
4. Relase the parking brake and allow the truck to roll under the container. Extend the reeving cylinders to pull the container onto the hoist. The container long sills must be kept on the hoist rollers.
5. Once the center of gravity of the con­tainer is in front of the rear hinge, the hoist can be lowered until the front is just above the top of the truck cab.
6. Continue pulling the container forward until it is securely locked into the front stops. Caution: Rear hold-down devices are required on the hoist and the con­tainers.
7. Lower the hoist to the full-down position and disengage the PTO.
Dumping a Container
1. While the hoist is in the full-down position, open the container door and secure it. Caution: Be sure that the truck is on firm, level ground before dumping. If one side of the load breaks loose in this high cen­ter of gravity position, a truck on unstable footing may roll over on its side.
2. Engage the PTO and raise the hoist until the load slides out of the container. Caution: Do not pull forward until the hoist is lowered to the full-down position.
3. Lower the hoist to the full-down position and disengage the PTO.
Unloading a Container (O.R. and I.O.)
1. Back the truck up in front of where the container is to be spotted. Allow room for the container to roll off of the hoist.
2. Raise the hoist and retract the reeving cylinders. Allow gravity to pull the con­tainer to the ground.
3. Once the rear rollers are on the ground, allow the truck to roll out from under the container.
4. Once the container is on the ground, lock the truck brakes and disconnect the cable and secure it to the hoist.
5. Lower the hoist to the full down position. Pull away from the container. Disengage the PTO.
Unloading a Container (Extendable Tail)
1. Back the truck up in front of where the container is to be spotted. Allow room for the container to roll-off of the hoist.
2. Raise the hoist and retract the reeving cylinders. Allow gravity to pull the con­tainer to the ground. Once the rear rollers are on the ground, allow the truck to roll out from under the container.
3. Alternate extending the cable and the tail until the container is on the ground.

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.

General Install Guidelines

Installation 

Cable Hoist Mounting and Assembly
Study names and locations of the parts and familiarize yourself with the Cable Hoist before starting the assembly . Reading the step-by-step instructions that follow will be helpful.
Safety
Read all of the safety notations in the assembly instructions for your protection. Accidents can be prevented by recogniz­ing the cause of an accident before it can happen.
Assembly
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.

Cab Boundary
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.
