stellar labs EC5000 - Chapter 2 - Maintenance; Maintenance Schedule & Guidelines

Maintenance 
Before performing any maintenance to the crane, consider the following:
• Only qualified service personnel are to perform maintenance on the
crane. Never modify or alter any of the equipment, whether mechanical, electrical, or
hydraulic, without explicit approval from Stellar Industries.
• Position the crane where it will be out of the way of other operations or vehicles in the
area.
• Lower the boom fully or stow in the cradle to prevent uncontrolled movement.
• Place all controls in the off position and secure operating features from inadvertent
motion.
• Before any service or repair is performed, shut off the engine.
• Before performing any maintenance on electrical components, disconnect the power
source.
• 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.
