Stellar® EC Series 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
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.
Add hydraulic oil as needed. Stellar Industries recommends the hydraulic oil be changed
after 6,500 hours.
• Do not disconnect hydraulic hoses while there is still pressure in those
components.
• Replace parts with Stellar® approved parts only.
• Keep the crane and service body clean and free from grease build-up, oil and dirt to
prevent slippery conditions.
• Label or tag parts when disassembling.
• Immediately repair or have repaired any components found to be inadequate.
Hydraulic Oil Maintenance
Recharging the Auxiliary Battery
To recharge the auxiliary battery, engage the battery charge switch (located in the truck
cab or the crane box) while the truck is running. When operating the crane while the
truck is not running, disengage the battery charge switch to prevent the crane from
draining the main truck battery.
