Introduction Stellar Cranes are designed to provide safe and dependable service for a variety ® of operations. With proper use and maintenance, these cranes will operate at peak performance for many years. To promote this longevity, carefully study the information contained in this manual before putting the equipment into service.
Chapter 1 - Operation Safety should be the n umber 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. This chapter contains information regarding the safety and operation of Stellar® Small OTR Service Cranes and should be read and understood completely by everyone working with or near the crane before putting the unit into operation.
Job Site Setup Thoroughly plan the lift by understanding the work site area and your loads before positioning the vehicle. For a complete and detailed description of job site setup, please refer to the AEM Safety Manual (Form C-70-2). Consider the following: •...
Step 3: Turn on electrical power Locate the desired function on the switch panel inside the cab and activate to power the equipment. Step 4: Position the stabilizers Once the PTO is engaged, locate the street side (SS) and curb side (CS) stabilizer control handles.
Step 5: Operate the crane Using the Radio Remote: To operate the crane using the radio remote control: 1. Make certain that the red e-stop button is in the up position (disengaged). 2. To start up the remote control, follow the instructions provided in the remote control manufacturer’s manual.

Step 5: Operate the crane (Cont.) • Never perform a lift that can induce a dynamic force greater than the capacity of the crane. • It is the responsibility of the operator to know the weight of the handled load to avoid overloading the crane.
Step 6: Stow the crane When the job is complete, use the correct toggles to bring the crane gently down onto the crane rest. Step 7: Stow the stabilizers Retract outriggers using the control levers or switches marked ‘outrigger’. Step 8: Finalize Service Finalize the service by storing the safety cones, shutting drawers and compartments, and securing the load.
Radio Remote Control Functions The crane is operated by a radio control system which operates an electronic valve bank. The controller (as shown above) operates the following functions: Main Boom Up and Down Outer Boom Up and Down Extension Boom In and Out Rotation Clockwise and Counter-Clockwise •...
Safety Decals of Note Safety decals serve to inform the viewer of the hazard type, how to avoid the hazard, and the consequences of not avoiding the hazard. Decals are considered safety equipment. They must be maintained, as would other safety devices.

Chapter 2 - Maintenance Maintenance is an important part of extending the life of any Stellar Crane. Performing ® key maintenance items on a scheduled program will prevent unnecessary downtime. General Maintenance Guidelines Before performing any maintenance to the crane, •...
Hydraulic Oil/Filter Maintenance Stellar Industries recommends the first filter change to occur after the first 250 hours of service. The second, and every subsequent change, should occur after every 1,000 hours of service. By following these guidelines, the hydraulic oil should last up to 6,500 hours. Note: These recommendations are based on normal working parameters.
Gear-Bearing Bolt Maintenance 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 clamp loads after torquing. WARNING Anytime a torqued gear-bearing bolt is removed, it must be replaced with a new bolt of the identical grade and size.
Lubrication Recommendations Crane Lubrication Component Location Recommendation Reservoir Below –5˚F High VI, low pour, ISO 22, AW hydraulic oil Hydraulic System -5˚F to 90˚F High VI, low pour, ISO 32, AW hydraulic oil Above 90˚F ISO 46, AW hydraulic oil Open Gear Teeth Crane Rotation Gear Moly Grease 936SF Heavy (Stellar PN 4460)
