Chapter 1 - Operation
Pre-Operation Inspection
It is the responsibility of the owner to instruct the operator in the safe operation of the equipment
and to provide the operator with properly maintained equipment.
WARNING
Stellar®Crane operators must conform to the qualifications specified in ANSI
B30.5 - Chapter 5-3 Operation. Trainees or untrained persons shall be under the
direct supervision of qualified persons.
Operators shall consult with the owner of the equipment regarding current safety regulations and
required personal protective equipment.
Please take note that Stellar®Industries, Inc. is not liable for accidents incurred by the crane because
of non-fulfillment from the operator’s side of current rules, laws, and regulations.
General Operation
Safety should be the number one thought on every operator’s mind. Three factors should exist for safe
operation: a qualified operator, well-maintained equipment, and the proper use of this equipment.
This chapter contains information regarding the safety and operation of Stellar® manufactured EC
Series Telescopic Cranes and should be read and understood completely by everyone working
with or near the crane before putting the unit into operation.
WARNING
Failure to follow operating, maintenance, or safety instructions can result in
death or serious injury.
Before operating the equipment, make sure all regular maintenance has been performed. Each
day, inspect the crane for all of the following:
• Vehicle for standard checks such as proper tire inflation and fluid levels.
• Parking brake operation.
• Hydraulic reservoir for proper oil level.
• Hoses and gearboxes for evidence of oil leaks.
• Crane controls for excessive wear, cleanliness and proper operation.
• Operational aids such as decals for placement and legibility.
• All securing hardware such as cotter pins, snap rings, hairpins, and pin keepers for proper
installation.
• Crane hook and other loose parts for damage to structures or weld.
• Anti-two block switch for proper function.
• Wire rope for broken wires, extensive wear, distortion, and heat damage.
• All safety guards for proper installation.
Replace/repair as necessary prior to operation. For a more detailed checklist of scheduled
inspection points, refer to the Stellar®Crane Inspection Log. This document is an essential guide for
the daily, monthly, quarterly and annual inspection tasks that will help maintain the quality of your

Job Site Setup
The drive axle must be disengaged and the parking brake must be set before operating
any of the equipment.
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.
DANGER
WARNING
Step 2: Engage the hydraulic power source.
Step 1: Disengage drive axle and set the parking brake.
1. Make certain that the transmission is in neutral/park and that the PTO switch is in the
‘off’ position.
2. Start the vehicle engine.
3. Depress the clutch on manual transmission vehicles.
4. Engage the PTO. Consult the PTO manual for specific instructions if needed.
5. Slowly release the clutch on a manual transmission vehicle.

Unstowing the Crane:
To unstow the crane and prepare it for a lift:
• Winch down slightly.
• Raise the boom high enough to clear the boom rest and any other obstructions from the chassis.
• Rotate the crane until it clears the side of the truck body.
• Lower the crane boom down far enough so that the snatch block is within comfortable reach.
• Winch down to create slack in the wire rope and unhook the snatch block.
Attaching the load:
• Position the crane with the hook centered directly over the load avoid side loading.
• Attach the load to the hook by means of slings or other approved devices.
•
WARNING
Never use a sling bar or anything larger than the hook throat that could
prevent the hook latch from closing. This would negate the safety feature.
• Maintain a minimum of 3 full wraps of wire rope on the winch drum at all times.
•
WARNING
Do not wrap the wire rope around the load.
Lifting the load:
Lift the load slightly off the ground to check the safety of the cargo. Consider the following:
• Make certain that the stabilizers are positioned on flat, stable ground.
•
WARNING
Never exceed manufacturer’s load charts and ratings. These ratings are
based on the machine’s hydraulic, mechanical, and structural design rather
than stability.
• Never perform a lift that can induce a dynamic force greater than the capacity of the crane.
• It is the responsibility of the operator to know the weight of both the rigging and the handled
load to avoid overloading the crane. Do not rely on the overload device to determine maximum
rated loads. If the crane is picking more than the maximum rated load, the overload protection
device may be malfunctioning. Discontinue use immediately and contact Stellar®Customer
Service for support.
•
WARNING
Do not use a crane to lift personnel without factory approved lifting device.
• Do not attempt to lift fixed loads.
Moving the load:
Ensure that the load is secure and balanced within the sling before moving. Consider the following:
• Be sure that the crane is level and stable before moving the load.
• Always look for any changes to the surroundings since the job site setup. Be aware of any new or
missed overhead obstructions (branches, power lines, etc) and bystanders. Use a signal person if
necessary.
•
WARNING
Never operate the crane with personnel under any part the boom or load.
Do not extend or rotate a load over anyone. Never allow personnel to place
themselves under any part of the boom or load.
•
WARNING
Never leave a crane load suspended or unattended.
• Do not use the boom or the winch to drag a load.
• Do not use the crane boom to push downward onto anything.
• Avoid sudden starts and stops when moving a load.

Stellar®Heavy-Duty Telescopic Crane Owner’s Manual | Page 5
Once you have performed your lift and are ready to shut down the work site:
• Retract all extensions.
• Winch up to bring the snatch block within 3 feet of the boom tip.
• Lower the crane boom down far enough so that the snatch block is within comfortable reach.
• Hook the snatch block to the stow hook on the main boom. Maintain control to avoid personal
injury or damage to any equipment.
•
WARNING
Never use the stow hook for anything other
than stowing the snatch block.
• Tighten the winch line so that the snatch block comes within a
few inches of the main boom. Avoid activating the anti-two block
switch when tightening slack.
• Raise the boom slightly above the boom rest.
• Rotate the boom until it aligns with the center of the boom rest.
• Lower the boom gently into the boom rest.
• Store the radio remote control in the docking station.
Note: Use alignment arrows located
on the crane base to properly align
the boom with the boom rest.
• The parking brake must be released before moving the truck.
•
WARNING
Make certain that any air tanks are completely drained before moving the
truck.
• Disengage the hydraulic power source. If using a PTO, consult the PTO manual for specific
instructions if needed.
• Turn off all switches on the control panel.
• Return the radio remote to the docking/charge station.

Shutdown.
When the crane reaches 100% capacity, an overload shutdown will be initiated. The
operator will need to set the load down and reposition the truck or activate the Stellar
CDTplus Boost Mode.
Activating Boost Mode
Boost Mode allows the crane to operate at 118% of its rated capacity for 30 seconds. This
will give the operator adequate time to move the crane out of the overload condition
without having to set the load down and reposition the truck.
Follow the steps below to activate boost mode:
1. Press and hold the Boost Button for 2 seconds. You will know that boost mode is
activated by the “Boost” indicator in the upper left of the LCD screen.
2. The crane will go from the ‘standard mode’ to ‘boost mode’ for 30 seconds.
3. During this minute, the capacity of the crane is increased to 118% of standard capacity.
Note: Boost Mode can be reset multiple times after a 15 second delay.
If the 118% capacity boost is not enough to temporarily suspend the
overload shutdown, the operator will need to set the load down and reposition the truck.
