    Why is the crane rotation not regular on my stellar labs Model 28000 Construction Equipment?
    • A
      Alicia PowellSep 5, 2025
      If your Stellar Labs Construction Equipment crane rotation is not regular, grease the gear bearing and level the truck. If the issue persists, consider replacing the rotation motor or gear.

    Why won't the outer 'Extend' and Extension In and Out operate on my Stellar Labs Construction Equipment?
    • M
      matathomasSep 3, 2025
      If the outer “Extend” and Extension In and Out functions of your Stellar Labs Construction Equipment will not operate manually or remotely, check to see if the functional cut out connector, located on the valve section is lit. Functional cut out connectors will have an LED light on when electrical power is present. Check to see if there is 12 volt power going to functional cut out connector. Check to make sure the Bosch relay is functioning properly. It is located just behind the panic bar E-stop switch. If functional cut out connector is lighting properly, check to make sure the connector is tight.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    What to do if my stellar labs Model 28000 crane will not operate?
    • C
      cbruceAug 23, 2025
      If your Stellar Labs Construction Equipment crane isn't operating, make sure the parking brake and the PTO are engaged. Check that 12V power is reaching the radio receiver; if not, trace back to the power source and inspect for blown fuses or loose ground connections. Ensure the transmitter batteries are fully charged, keeping in mind that rechargeable batteries last for approximately 11 months or 200 charges. Also, verify the hydraulic pump is operating at its rated flow (GPMs) using a flow meter. If the pump seems weak, contact Stellar Customer Service.
