Basic Crane Maintenance Schedule*
Before performing any maintenance to the crane,
consider the following:
• Only qualied service
personnel are to perform maintenance on
the crane. Never modify or alter any of the
equipment, whether mechanical, electrical, or
hydraulic, without explicit approval from Stellar
Industries.
• Position the crane where it will be out of the way
of other operations or vehicles in the area.
• Lower the boom fully or stow in the cradle to
prevent uncontrolled movement.
• Place all controls in the off position and secure
operating features from inadvertent motion.
Follow all company directed lockout/tagout
procedures.
• Before any service or repair is performed,
disengage the hydraulic power source and shut
off the engine.
• Allow systems to cool before performing any
maintenance.
• Before performing any maintenance on
electrical components, disconnect the power
source.
• Before performing any maintenance on
hydraulic components, relieve hydraulic oil
pressure from all hydraulic circuits. Move pedals
and control levers repeatedly through their
operating positions to relieve all pressures.
• Do not disconnect hydraulic
hoses while there is still pressure in those
components.
• Replace parts with Stellar
®
approved parts only.
• Keep the crane and service body clean and
free from grease build-up, oil and dirt to prevent
slippery conditions.
• Label or tag parts when disassembling.
• Immediately repair or have repaired any
components found to be inadequate.
