ii Stellar TM4110 Owner’s Manual
As the owner or employer, it is your responsibility to instruct the operator in the safe opera-
tion of this equipment and to provide the operator with properly maintained equipment.
Failure to read this manual by anyone who will operate, service, or work around this tire
manipulator is a misuse of the equipment. Death or serious injury will result from improper
use or maintenance of this machine.
Occupational safety is a prime concern of Stellar Industries in the design and production
of this tire manipulator. Our goal in writing this manual was the safety of the operator and
others who work around this equipment.
It is your responsibility to know the specific requirements, governmental regulations, pre-
cautions and work hazards that exist in the operation and maintenance of this tire manip-
ulator. You shall make these available and known to all personnel working with and
around the equipment, so that all of you will take the necessary and required safety pre-
cautions.
FAILURE TO HEED THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
It is also your responsibility to operate and maintain your tire manipulator with caution, skill,
and good judgment. Following the recognized safety procedures will help you avoid
accidents. Modification to any part of his tire manipulator can create a safety hazard
and therefore shall not be made without the manufacturer’s written approval. Use only
factory approved accessories, options, and parts on this equipment. The rebuilding or
remounting of this equipment requires the mounting procedures and retesting to be in
accordance with factory instructions. Safety covers and devices must remain installed
and maintained in proper working condition. Safety decals must be maintained, be com-
pletely legible, and be properly located. If safety covers, devices, or decals are missing,
they must be replaced with the proper designated Stellar part.
Be capable, careful, and concerned! Make safety your everyday business!
An Overview about Safety
Attention!
According to Federal Law (49 cfr part 571),
each final-stage manufacturer shall com-
plete the vehicle in such a manner that it
conforms to the standards in effect on the
date of manufacture of the incomplete
vehicle, the date of final completion, or a
date between those two dates. This
requirement shall, however, be superseded
by any conflicting provisions of a standard
that applies by its terms to vehicles manu-
factured in two or more stages.
Therefore, the installer of Stellar tire manipu-
lators is considered one of the manufactur-
ers of the vehicle. As such a manufacturer,
the installer is responsible for compliance
with all applicable federal and state regu-
lations. They are required to certify that the
vehicle is in compliance with the Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and other
regulations issued under the National Traffic
and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Please reference the Code of Federal
Regulations, title 49 - Transportation, Volume
5 (400-999), for further information, or visit

TireMan Safety Notes
General
It is the responsibility of the owner to instruct
the operator in the safe operation of your
equipment and to provide the operator
with properly maintained equipment.
Trainees or untrained persons shall be under
the direct supervision of qualified persons.
Do not operate equipment under the
adverse influence of alcohol, drugs, or
medication.
ersonal Safety
eep clear of all moving parts.
Always wear the prescribed personal safety
devices.
Always wear approved accident-preven-
tion clothing such as: protective helmets,
anti-slip shoes with steel toes, protective
gloves, anti-noise headphones, protective
glasses, and reflective jackets with breath-
ing apparatus. Consult your employer
regarding current safety regulations and
accident-prevention equipment.
Do not wear rings, wristwatch, jewelry,
loose-fitting or hanging clothing such as
ties, torn garments, scarves, unbuttoned
jackets or unzipped overalls, which could
get caught up in the moving parts of the
tire manipulator.
eep a first-aid box and a fire extinguisher
readily available on the truck. Regularly
check to make sure the fire extinguisher is
fully charged and the first-aid kit is stocked.
Do not use controls and hoses as hand-
holds. These parts move and cannot pro-
vide stable support.
Never allow anyone to ride the tire manipu-
lator arms or load.
Maintenance Safety
Never modify or alter any of the equip-
ment, whether mechanical, electrical, or
hydraulic, without explicit approval from
Stellar Industries.
Do not perform any maintenance or repair
work on the tire manipulator unless author-
ized and trained to do so.
Release system pressure before attempting
to make any adjustments or repairs.
Do not attempt service or repair when the
PTO is engaged.
Decals are considered safety equipment.
They must be maintained, as would other
safety devices. Do not remove any Decals.
Replace any Decals that are missing, dam-
aged, or not legible.
The safety instruction plates, notices, load
charts and any other sticker applied to the
tire manipulator, crane or service body must
be kept legible and in good condition. If
necessary, replace them.
Stability
now the tire manipulator components and
their capabilities and limitations.
Overloading the tire manipulator may result
in serious injury to self and others, and dam-
age to the equipment and immediate sur-
roundings.
Never exceed manufacturer’s load ratings.
These ratings are based on the machine’s
hydraulic, mechanical, and structural
design rather than stability.
The supporting surface under the service
truck must be able to support the weight of
the machine and its load. Use outrigger
pads if necessary.

Page 5
TM4110TM4110
TireMan Safety Notes Continued...
Park the vehicle on level ground and
extend the outriggers fully out and then
down.
eep feet and legs clear when lowering
outrigger jacks.
Never operate the tire manipulator without
making sure the outriggers are positioned
on stable, flat ground.
Set the parking brake and disengage the
drive axle before attempting a lift.
Load Safety
Operate the tire manipulator in compliance
with the load capacity chart at all times.
now the weight of the load being lifted.
Do not rely on the overload device to
determine maximum rated loads.
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.
Do not apply side loads to the booms.
Do not leave a tire manipulator load sus-
pended or unattended.
Do not walk under suspended loads.
Do not position any load over a person nor
should any person be permitted to place
him or herself under a load.
Do not use the boom or the winch to drag
a load.
Do not use the tire manipulator arms to
push downward onto anything.
Electrocution
Allow extra space for swaying power lines in
windy conditions.
eep a minimum of ten feet between any
portion of the tire manipulator and an elec-
trical line. Add an additional 12” for every
additional 30,000 Volts or less.
Remember - Death or serious injury can
occur when working near power lines or
during electrical storms.
Use a signal person when operating near
electrical sources.
Environment
Do not operate the tire manipulator during
electrical storms.
In extreme cold, allow adequate time to
warm the truck before engaging the PTO.
Do not rev the truck engine and over
speed the hydraulic pumps as permanent
damage to the pumps may occur. Follow
the vehicle owner’s manual regarding
operating the vehicle in such adverse con-
ditions.
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.
ATTENTION
Stellar Industries, Inc. is not liable for accidents incurred by the tire
manipulator because of the operator’s non-fulfillment of current rules, laws
and regulations.
