Stellar 4500 Manual
3-4
When using the torque data in the charts
above, the following rules should be observed.
1. Bolt manufacturer’s particular specifications
should be consulted when provided.
2. Flat washers of equal strength must be used.
3. All torque measurements are given in
foot-pounds. To convert to inch-pounds,
multiply by 12.
4. Torque values specified are for bolts with
residual oils or no special lubricants applied.
If special lubricants of high stress ability,
such as Never-Seez compound graphite and
oil, molybdenum disulphite, colloidal copper
or white lead are applied, multiply the torque
values in the charts by the factor .90. The
use of Loctite does not affect the torque
values listed above.
5. Torque values for socket-head capscrews
are the same as for Grade 8 capscrews.

Holding Valve Inspection Procedure
The cylinders are equipped with holding valves
that prevent sudden movement of the cylinder
rods in the event of a hydraulic hose or hydraulic
component failure. The valve is checked in the
following manner:
1. Identify the cylinder in question.
2. Identify the holding valves and the cylinder
direction in question.
a. Cylinder Extend.
b. Cylinder Retract.
3. Place the machine so that the cylinder will
be located in the appropriate testing
position.
4. Pick the load (Do not exceed capacity, rated
or stability).
5. Disengage hydraulics.
6. Operate crane functions.
A. If the cylinder creeps (lowering the
load), replace the holding valve.
B. If the cylinder does not creep (load
stays suspended), the valve is
operational.
Gear-Bearing Bolt Maintenance
Anytime a gear-bearing bolt is removed, it must
be replaced with a new bolt of the identical grade
and size. 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.
Warning!
Failure to replace gear-bearing
bolts may result in bolt failure
due to metal fatigue causing
serious injury or even death.
