Stellar® EC Series Crane Owner’s Manual
The drive axle must be disengaged and the parking brake must be set before operating
any of the equipment.
To initiate electrical power to the crane, activate the button labeled ‘Main Power’, usually
located in the cab of the truck.
Step 2: Turn on power to the crane.
Step 1: Disengage drive axle and set the parking brake.
Thoroughly plan the lift by understanding the work site area and your loads before
positioning the vehicle. For a complete and detailed description of job site setup, please
refer to the AEM Safety Manual (Form C-70-2). Consider the following:
• The vehicle should be positioned in an area free from bystanders and overhead
obstructions. Use a signal person if necessary.
• Always maintain safe clearance from high voltage power lines in
accordance with ANSI B30.5: 5-3.4.5 Operating Near Electric Power Lines. Death or
serious injury will result from inadequate clearance if crane, load, or vehicle becomes
electrically charged.
• Make certain that the vehicle is parked on stable, flat ground as close to the job as
possible. The surface under the service truck must be able to support the weight of the
machine and its load.
• Use wheel chocks if parking the vehicle on a slope.
•Always park the vehicle with the grade. If cross-grade parking is required, the load
capacity must be decreased appropriately to mitigate tipping risk.
• Do not operate the crane during electrical storms.
• In dusty work areas, every effort must be taken to keep dust and sand out of the moving
parts of the machinery.
• In high humidity work areas, keep parts as dry as possible and well lubricated.
