Heavy-Duty Telescopic Crane Owner’s Manual
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:
• The vehicle should be positioned in an area free from bystanders and overhead obstructions.
Use a signal person if necessary.
•
Always maintain safe clearance from high voltage power lines in accordance
with ANSI B30.5: 5-3.4.5 Operating Near Electric Power Lines. Death or serious
injury will result from inadequate clearance if crane, load, or vehicle becomes electrically charged.
• Make certain that the vehicle is parked on stable, at ground as close to the job as possible. The
surface under the service truck must be able to support the weight of the machine and its load.
• Use wheel chocks if parking the vehicle on a slope.
• Always park the vehicle with the grade. If cross-grade parking is required, the load capacity
must be decreased appropriately to mitigate tipping risk.
•
Do not operate the crane during electrical storms.
• In dusty work areas, every effort must be taken to keep dust and sand out of the moving parts
of the machinery.
• In high humidity work areas, keep parts as dry as possible and well lubricated.
Replace/repair as necessary prior to operation. For a more detailed checklist of scheduled inspection
points, refer to the Stellar® Crane Inspection Log. This document is an essential guide for the daily,
monthly, quarterly and annual inspection tasks that will help maintain the quality of your Stellar®
product.
