Stellar® Heavy-Duty Crane Owner’s Manual
While operating the crane, extend and retract the extension booms. If the extension
weldments are noisy during operation, it is necessary to lubricate the booms. Stellar®
Model Cranes feature a metal coating which will require an aerosol lubricant. Stellar
Industries recommends aerosol style lubricant Stellar PN 44512.
Extension Boom Maintenance
Refer to winch manual supplied with crane.
Winch Maintenance
Proper maintenance is key in ensuring a long lasting rope. Refer to ANSI B30.5 for details on
maintaining your wire rope.
Wire Rope Maintenance
Every six (6) months, remove the hydraulic pump from the PTO and lubricate the splines
using Stellar PN 20885. Failure to lubricate shaft splines will cause damage to the PTO and
Hydraulic pump.
PTO and Pump Maintenance
Washing the Crane
Important: Prior to washing the Stellar crane, the radio remote receiver located on the
crane mast must be covered to prevent any water from entering the plastic housing.
Avoid any direct water pressure to the radio remote receiver.
Stellar Industries recommends the first filter change to occur after the first 250 hours of serv-
ice. The second, and every subsequent change, should occur after every 1,000 hours of
service. By following these guidelines, the hydraulic oil should last up to 6,500 hours.
Note: These recommendations are based on normal working parameters. If operating in
less than favorable conditions excessive dust, moisture, etc.), be sure to check the filter
gauge often for filter change notice.
