    What to do if my Stellar Labs Construction Equipment crane lifts the load, but cannot hold it?
    • K
      Krystal GainesSep 12, 2025
      If the crane lifts the load, but cannot hold it on your Stellar Labs Construction Equipment, contact Stellar customer service for proper setting. Replace holding valve. Adjust valve settings. Replace worn seals.

    Why is there vibrations and jerking in the hydraulic cylinder during the first maneuvers of my Stellar Labs Construction Equipment?
    • D
      Donald NealAug 25, 2025
      If you're experiencing vibrations and jerking in the hydraulic cylinder during the initial maneuvers of your Stellar Labs Construction Equipment, it could be due to low hydraulic oil temperature or a lack of oil in the reservoir. To resolve this, perform maneuvers without any load for several minutes to allow the oil to warm up. Additionally, ensure that you add hydraulic oil to maintain the correct level.

    Why does my stellar labs Model 28000 Construction Equipment crane operate slowly?
    • S
      Scott BradleyAug 26, 2025
      If your Stellar Labs Construction Equipment crane operates slowly, ensure it's receiving the recommended GPMs to operate. Check the hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir and add fluid if needed. Also, check if the valve bank proportional valve is operating and receiving 12V power when a function is activated.

    Why is my stellar labs Model 28000 crane vibrating with every function when the oil is hot?
    • J
      Joshua KingAug 27, 2025
      If your Stellar Labs Construction Equipment crane experiences vibrations with every function when the oil is hot, add hydraulic oil to the tank. Then, operate the control, carrying the cylinders to stroke end several times in both directions to remove any air in hydraulic system.

    What causes intermittent operation of crane functions on my stellar labs Model 28000 Construction Equipment?
    • P
      Peter JohnsonAug 29, 2025
      If not all functions operate or the crane operates intermittently using the radio remote transmitter of your Stellar Labs Construction Equipment, ensure the function switch is working properly; replace it if defective. Also, check for power going from the valve bank twin solenoid to the function that isn't working. If there's no power, inspect wiring connections on the wire harness plug connector for broken wires, loose connections, or poor crimps. If power is present, the solenoid valve may not be opening; check the twin solenoid for polarity and replace it if it doesn't magnetize.

    What should I do if the hydraulic extension is not extending on my stellar labs Model 28000 Construction Equipment?
    • C
      Christopher OrtizAug 31, 2025
      If the hydraulic extension on your Stellar Labs Construction Equipment is not extending, lubricate the wear pads and replace them if worn. Also, check for 12V power going to the extension function and adjust the sequence valve on the extension cylinder if needed.

    How to troubleshoot a stellar labs Model 28000 crane that operates manually but not electrically?
    • C
      Carla KingNov 20, 2025
      If the Stellar Labs Construction Equipment crane will operate manually but not electrically, ensure 12V power reaches the radio receiver. If there's no power, trace back to the source, checking for blown fuses or loose ground connections. Also, make sure the parking brake is engaged and the parking brake switch functions correctly by performing a continuity test; replace it if defective. Verify the “Power” LED is lit on the receiver door; if not, check wiring to the fuse and system ground wires. Finally, confirm the green LED is lit when the e-stop is pulled and the toggle switch is activated. If the radio system doesn't link and the green light isn't on, ensure the battery is fully charged and the contacts are clean; recharge or replace the battery.

    Why don't the hydraulic legs hold under load on my stellar labs Model 28000 Construction Equipment?
    • R
      Richard CooperSep 8, 2025
      If the hydraulic legs on your Stellar Labs Construction Equipment do not hold under load, clean or replace the holding valves and replace worn seals in the stabilizer cylinder.

    Why do the control box lights not operate (green LED out) on my stellar labs Model 28000 Construction Equipment?
    • J
      John HuffmanSep 9, 2025
      If the control box lights do not operate (green LED out) on your Stellar Labs Construction Equipment, recharge the battery, replace the fuses, and correctly join the connection or replace the electric coupling. Also, check electrical connections and replace the switch if necessary.
