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® manufactured EC Series Telescopic 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: Position the stabilizers. Extend the stabilizers using the control levers or switches marked ‘stabilizer’ or ‘outrigger’. These may be located in the compartment under the crane or on the rear bumper. 1. Locate the street side stabilizer control handle (labeled “SS”).

Unstowing the Crane: To unstow the crane and prepare it for a lift: • Winch down slightly. • Raise the boom high enough to clear the boom rest and any other obstructions from the chassis. • Rotate the crane until it clears the side of the truck body. •...
Step 5: Stow the crane. Once you have performed your lift and are ready to shut down the work site: • Retract all extensions. • Winch up to bring the snatch block within 3 feet of the boom tip. • Lower the crane boom down far enough so that the snatch block is within comfortable reach. •...

Operation Mode During standard Operation mode, the LED feedback screen will return a number of key statistical readouts. To cycle through the different readout screens, use the Scroll button: Current percentage of max load capacity Current Boom Angle Current Radius Maximum Radius Current Load Weight Remaining Load Weight...
Operation Mode Continued... During standard Operation mode, the LED feedback screen will return a number of key statistical readouts. To cycle through the different readout screens, use the Scroll button. Using a toggle function will also switch to the default statistical readout associated with that function: Default No Toggle/Rotate Toggle - Load Percentage Boom Up/Down Toggle - Boom Angle...
Radio Remote Feedback and Boost Mode CDT Remote Feedback If the crane starts to approach full capacity or an overload situation, the Stellar CDTplus sensory feedback system will respond: 0-79% Capacity Vibration: None System Function: Normal 80-89% Capacity Vibration: Short Pulsing System Function: Normal 90-99% Capacity Vibration: Long Pulsing...
Safe Mode If a device intended to monitor the capacity of the crane operates incorrectly, the crane will put itself into safe mode. Safe mode will allow the operator to work with the crane at a reduced speed until the current lift is complete and the crane is properly stowed. The crane should not be used again until the malfunctioning safety device is repaired.
Radio Remote Control Features Radio Remote Sleep Mode The radio remote control enters sleep mode after two minutes of inactivity. Activate a toggle switch to re-link the transmitter to the receiver. After re-linking, activate the desired toggle to continue operation. E-Stop Button The Radio remote control is equipped with an emergency stop button.

PIN "B" 2) Route wire rope through snatch block. 3) Pin wire rope to snatch block as shown with PIN “A”...
Personal Fall Protection with Stellar Equipment ® OSHA Provisions Before proceeding, all users must read, understand, and follow the provisions located in OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1423, specifically paragraphs (g) Anchorage criteria, (j) Anchoring to the load line, and (k) Training. Please note that OSHA sections 1926.502(d)(15) and 1926.502(e)(2) are cross-referenced in this section and need to be read, understood, and followed by each user.
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 Telescopic Crane. Performing ® key maintenance items on a scheduled program will prevent unnecessary downtime. General Maintenance Guidelines Before performing any maintenance to the •...
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.
Rotation Gear Bearing Maintenance Rotation Worm Gear and Open Gear Teeth Use a heavy Moly Lube grease (Stellar PN 4460) ® to lubricate the worm gear and open gear teeth of the rotation bearing. Slowly rotate the crane while pumping the grease between the worm and rotation gear.
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 damp loads after torquing. Anytime a gear-bearing bolt is removed, it must be replaced with a new bolt of WARNING the identical grade and size.
Rotation Gear Bearing Tilt Test Step 1: Place crane in vertical position. Step 2: Place a dial indicator on the pinion cover plate at the back side of the mast. Step 3: Set the dial indicator to 0. Step 4: Lower the crane to the horizontal position.
Rotation Gear Bearing Worm End Play & Backlash Stellar Telescopic Cranes have an integral base and worm drive rotation system. ® Backlash is the shortest distance between non-driving tooth surfaces in mating gears. Measure backlash using a feeler gauge at or near the pitch diameter and tangent to the gear. Locate High Tooth To set both Worm End Play and Backlash, first locate the high tooth on the gear.
Chapter 3 - 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. Serial Tag Location ®...

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 parking brake is engaged. • Make sure that the parking brake switch is working properly. Check the parking brake switch by performing a continuity test.

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 (7621 thru 12630 models only). Problem: Crane operates slowly. Solutions: • Make sure that the crane is receiving the recommended hydraulic flow to operate. •...
Manual Operation If the remote control malfunctions, follow these steps to operate the crane manually: 1. Activate Flow Control. Turn the override screw on proportional flow control counter-clockwise. Full adjustment is between three and five turns. 2. Operate Solenoids. Using the identification decal as a guide, slide the knurled sleeve out and then push or pull to operate the desired function.
