stellar labs CDT 5521 - Chapter 3 - Maintenance; Crane Maintenance Schedule

Maintenance 
Maintenance is an important part of
extending the life of any Stellar® Telescopic
Crane. Greasing pivot points and rotation
gear bearing on a scheduled maintenance
program will prevent unnecessary
downtime.
Note: Only qualified service personnel are
to perform maintenance on the crane.
General Maintenance Procedures
Read the following before performing any
maintenance on the crane:
1. Position the crane where it will be out of
the way of other operations or vehicles in
the area.
2. Lower the boom fully or stow in the
cradle to prevent uncontrolled
movement.
3. Before any service or repair is performed:
A. Disengage the PTO
B. Shut off the engine.
4. Place all controls in the off position and
secure operating features from
inadvertent motion.
5. Before performing any maintenance on
electrical components, disconnect the
power source.
6. 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.
7. Replace parts with Stellar® approved
parts only.
8. Keep the crane and service body clean
and free from grease build-up, oil and dirt
to prevent slippery conditions.
9. Perform all safety and maintenance
checks before each period of use.
10. Label or tag parts when disassembling.
11. Immediately repair or have repaired any
components found to be inadequate.
