Stellar® Heavy-Duty Crane Owner’s Manual
Radio Remote Sleep Mode
The radio remote control enters sleep mode
after about 15 seconds of inactivity.
Activate a toggle switch to re-link the
transmitter to the receiver. Then activate
the desired toggle to continue operation.
E-Stop Button
The Radio remote control is equipped with
an emergency stop button. If a situation
arises that requires the immediate stoppage
of crane functionality, press down on the
red Emergency Stop button located in the
center of the remote control.
Note: The E-stop button is not intended to
be an on/off switch. This is also the first item
to check if the crane is not responding to
toggle and trigger activation. Make sure
the red E-Stop button is in the up or
disengaged position.
Radio Remote Battery Replacement
Occasionally the batteries in the handheld
transmitter will need to be changed. The
AA Alkaline batteries are located in the
handle portion of the radio transmitter.
Release the button and slide the battery
holder out. Replace the batteries and
return the holder back into the handheld
transmitter until the button latches.
Radio Remote Backup Cord
If the handheld transmitter has a system
problem that makes the radio function un-
usable, use of the back-up cord may be
necessary.
1. Locate the backup control cord. Most
likely it is in the crane compartment, or in
the cab behind the seat.
2. Remove the battery holder from the
remote handle and place the similar
looking end of the back-up cord in the
bottom of the transmitter handle.
3. Attach the other
end of the back-
up cord to the
connector
currently used by
the antenna on
the control
receiver. The
control receiver
is located on the
back of the
crane mast.
Radio Remote Control Features
Power On Demand Mode (P.O.D.)
When the optional engine speed control is
toggled on, the crane controller will
automatically ramp the engine speed up to
high idle while the crane is actively being
operated. During periods of inactivity the
engine speed will be returned to low idle.
See the Installation, Assembly Drawings, and
Parts Manual for mode selection wiring.
