Chapter 1 - Operation
General Operation
Pre-Operation Inspection
Safety should be the n umber one thought on every operator’s mind. Three factors should
exist for safe operation: a qualied operator, well-maintained equipment, and the proper
use of this equipment.
This chapter contains information regarding the safety and operation of Stellar® Large OTR
Service Cranes and should be read and understood completely by everyone working with
or near the crane before putting the unit into operation.
Failure to follow operating, maintenance, or safety instructions can result
in death or serious injury.
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.
Stellar® Crane operators must conform to the qualications specied in
ANSI B30.5 - Chapter 5-3 Operation. Trainees or untrained persons shall be under the direct
supervision of qualied 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-fulllment from the operator’s side of current rules, laws, and regulations.
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 ination and uid 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.
• 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 Stellar product.

Step 2: Engage the hydraulic power source.
Step 1: Disengage drive axle and set the parking brake.
Job Site Setup
1. Make certain that the transmission is in neutral/park.
2. Engage the hydraulic power source. If using a PTO, consult the PTO manual for specic
instructions if needed. Note: Allow the hydraulic system oil to warm before operating
any of the hydraulic equipment, especially during cold weather.
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, at 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.
• Park the vehicle perpendicular and at the proper distance to the tire being serviced. The
vehicle’s proper distance will be determined by multiple variables and can be gured
from the crane load chart, size of tire, type of service being performing, and various
other factors.
• Never begin a lift without estimating the load weight andcalculating
the distance and position on the capacity chart.
• Once the vehicle is properly placed, secure the work area using safety cones.
• 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.

Step 3: Turn on electrical power.
Locate the desired function on the switch panel inside the cab and activate to power the
equipment.
Step 4: Position the stabilizers.
Extend the stabilizers using the control levers or switches marked ‘stabilizer’ or ‘outrigger’.
These may be located at the crane operation center outside the cab of the vehicle.
1a. Models: 9000/13500 The Stabilizer/Crane switch needs to be toggled to ‘Stabilizer’ to
operate the stabilizers.
1b. Models: 17000/23000/28000
The Remote/Manual switch
needs to be toggled to
‘Manual’ to operate the
stabilizers.
2. Locate the street side (SS)
and curb side (CS) stabilizer
control handles. Push the lever
down to lower or extend the
corresponding stabilizer leg.
When the stabilizer makes
solid contact with the ground,
release the control lever.
Note: On some models, level
the crane base using the level
provided.
Note: Some models may have and in/out extension levers or auxillary stabilizers.
Keep clear of stabilizer legs during operation. Moving stabilizers can
cause serious crushing injuries. Make certain that all personnel are clear of the stabilizer
and the ground contact point before operating.
Do not raise the rear tires of the truck off the ground with the stabilizers.
Conrm that the stabilizers are positioned on stable, at ground and that the truck is as
level as possible both front to rear and side to side. Use stabilizer pads to ensure the proper
distribution of weight.

Using the Radio Remote:
To operate the crane using the radio remote control:
1. Make certain that the red e-stop button is in the up position (disengaged). On some
models (17000/23000/28000), toggle the Remote/Manual switch to “Remote”. On other
models (9000/13500), toggle the Crane/Stabilizer switch to “Crane” and the Crane
Manual/Crane Remote switch to “Crane Remote”.
2. To start up the remote control, follow the instructions provided in the remote control
manufacturer’s manual.
4. To operate the crane, activate and hold the desired paddle
(See Radio Remote Control page for details). The remote
control units for these models operate the crane functions
proportionally by controlling the oil ow entering the control
valve when a specic paddle is activated. The more
you engage the paddle, the faster the crane function will
operate.
Note: The Radio remote control is equipped with an
emergency stop button. If you encounter a situation that you
need to stop the crane functionality immediately, press down
on the red Emergency Stop button.
Operating the Crane:
1. Slowly activate the main boom paddle up to un-stow the crane from travel position.
2. Once the crane is un-stowed, proceed with operating the proper paddles to perform
the service.
Lifting the load:
Consider the following:
• When performing a lift, have the load as close to the ground as possible.
• Never exceed manufacturer’s capacity charts and ratings. These
ratings are based on the machine’s hydraulic, mechanical, and structural design rather
than stability. If there is a tire manipulator attached to your crane, use the manipulator
load chart, as the weight of the unit must be taken into account.
• Center the crane directly over the load to avoid side loading.
WARNING
Step 5: Operate the crane.
Stellar® Large OTR Service Crane Owner’s Manual | Page 5
• Make certain that the stabilizers are positioned on at, stable ground. If the terrain is
soft or loose, stabilizer pads may be required. In icy conditions, bolts can be added to the
holes in the stabilizer pads for additional traction.
• 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 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.
• Do not use a crane to lift personnel without factory approved lifting
device.
• Do not attempt to lift xed loads.
Moving the load:
Ensure that the load is secure and balanced before moving:
• Consult the Tire Industry Association (TIA) tire service training materials for proper tire
handling.
• 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.
• 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.
• Never leave a crane load suspended or unattended.
• Do not use the boom to drag a load.
• Do not use the crane boom to push downward onto anything.
• Avoid sudden starts and stops when moving a load.

The parking brake must be released before moving the truck.
Make certain that any air tanks are completely drained before moving
the truck.
Step 9: Disengage the hydraulic power source.
• Disengage the hydraulic power source.
• Turn off all switches on the control panel.
• Stow the radio remote in the cab. If your truck has a docking station, secure the remote
prior to leaving the work site.
Step 8: Finalize Service
Step 7: Stow the stabilizers.
Finalize the service by storing the safety cones, shutting drawers and compartments, and
securing the load.
Models: 9000/13500 Toggle the Stabilizer/Crane switch needs to ‘Stabilizer’ and stow the
stabilizers.
Models: 17000/23000/28000 Toggle the Remote/Manual switch to ‘Manual’ and stow the
stabilizers.
WARNING
Step 10: Leave the worksite.
Step 6: Stow the crane.
