Chapter 6 - Installation
General Installation
This chapter is designed to serve as a general guide for the
installation of a Stellar 4500 Articulating Crane on a Stellar
Service Body. Each installation is considered unique so
certain portions of this chapter may or may not apply to
your direct application. If a question should arise during
the installation process, please contact Stellar Customer
Service at (800) 321 3741.
This crane is designed for use with a Stellar Service Body
installed on a vehicle that meets the minimum chassis
requirements of the crane. Check with Stellar Industries
before installing this crane on a body other than a Stellar
Service Body.
Installation Notice
According to Federal Law (49 cfr part 571), each final-
stage manufacturer shall complete the vehicle in such a
manner that it conforms to the standards in effect on the
date of manufacture of the incomplete vehicle, the date of
final completion, or a date between those two dates. This
requirement shall, however, be superseded by any
conflicting provisions of a standard that applies by its terms
to vehicles manufactured in two or more stages.
Therefore, the installer of Stellar cranes and bodies is
considered one of the manufacturers of the vehicle. As
such a manufacturer, the installer is responsible for
compliance with all applicable federal and state
regulations. They are required to certify that the vehicle is
in compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards and other regulations issued under the National
Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Please reference the Code of Federal Regulations, title 49
- Transportation, Volume 5 (400-999), for further
