WARNING
Operating, maintaining, and servicing a Stellar
product may expose you to chemicals including, but
not limited to, engine exhaust, carbon monoxide,
phthalates, and lead. These chemicals are known
to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects (or other reproductive harm). To keep your
exposure to a minimum, be sure to avoid breathing
exhaust and service your Stellar product in a well-
ventilated area while wearing gloves or washing
your hands frequently. For more information, go to

NOTICE
Cold Weather Performance
Although clear data on cold weather performance from every steel
manufacturer is not available for all types and thicknesses of steel, Stellar
Industries is confident that the weldments on our products will operate to
100% of their intended purpose to temperatures down to -40° F / C.
It is recommended it Stellar manufactured equipment needs to be used in
temperatures below -40° F / C, the operator should pull the unit into a
climate-controlled area and allow the weldments to warm up to and then
maintain a temperature above this level.

Installer Notice
According to Federal Law (49 cfr part 571), each nal-stage manufacturer shall complete the
vehicle in such a manner that it conforms to the standards in eect on the date of manufacture
of the incomplete vehicle, the date of nal completion, or a date between those two dates. This
requirement shall, however, be superseded by any conicting provisions of a standard that applies
by its terms to vehicles manufactured in two or more stages.
Therefore, the installer of Stellar® products are considered one of the manufacturers of the vehicle.
As such a manufacturer, the installer is responsible for compliance with all applicable federal l and
state regulations, as well as any OEM instructions such as chassis body builder guides. 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 Trac and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and also
complies with recommended best practices from the chassis OEM.
Please reference the Code of Federal Regulations, title 49 - Transportation, Volume 5 (400-999),
for further information, or visit http://www.gpoaccess.gov/nara/index.html for the full text of Code of
Federal Regulations.
Chapter 2 - Installation
General Installation
This chapter is designed to serve as a general guide for the installation of a Stellar 2200 Crane on
a Stellar Service Body. Each installation is considered unique so certain portions of this chapter
may or may not apply to your direct application. If a question should arise during the installation
process, please contact Stellar Customer Service at (800) 321 3741.
This crane is designed for use with a Stellar Service Body installed on a vehicle that meets the
minimum chassis requirements of the crane. It is the installer’s responsibility to assure that the
crane is mounted on a platform that will support the maximum crane rating of this
crane.
Do not install this crane on a body not capable of handling the loads imposed on
it. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
When installing welder units to the service bodies, it is highly recommended that
a surge protector is installed on the chassis batteries to protect the crane radio receiver, wiring and
other electronic devices from an unexpected electrical spike or surge. Failure to do so could result
in extensive damage to the service body and crane electrical circuit.
WARNING
NOTICE
Page 4 | Stellar®6000 Articulating Crane Owner’s Manual
When using the torque data in the
chart, the following rules should be
observed:
• Bolt manufacturer’s particular
specications should be consulted
when provided.
• Flat washers of equal strength must
be used.
• All torque measurements are given
in foot-pounds. To convert to inch-
pounds, multiply by 12.
• Torque values specied are for
bolts with residual oils or no special
lubricants applied.
• Torque values for socket-head
capscrews are the same as for Grade
8 capscrews.
• Do not use these values if a dierent torque value or tightening procedure is
given for a specic application. Torque values listed are for general use only. Check tightness of
fasteners periodically.
• Shear bolts are designed to fail under predetermined loads. Always replace shear bolts with
identical grade.
• Fasteners should be replaced with the same or higher grade. If higher grade fasteners are used,
these should only be tightened to the strength of the original.
• Tighten plastic insert or crimped steel-type lock nuts to approximately 110 percent of the dry
torque values shown in the chart below, applied to the nut, not to the bolt head. Tighten toothed or
serrated-type lock nuts to the full torque value. Note: “Lubricated” means coated with a lubricant
such as engine oil, or fasteners with phosphate and oil coatings. “Dry” means plain or zinc plated
without lubrication. Tighten lubricated bolts to approximately 80% of dry bolts.

Hydraulic Installation
Never modify or alter any of the equipment, whether mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic, without
Stellar Industries’ approval.
Do not touch or grab any hoses that could be under pressure. Release system
pressure before attempting to make adjustments or repairs.
Do not attempt service or repair when PTO is engaged.
Disassemble and assemble hydraulic components on a clean surface.
Clean all metal parts in a nonammable cleaning uid. Then lubricate all components to aid in
assembly.
Hydraulic uid expands when heated. This raises the pressure in an
unventilated tank. Release the tank pressure before removing the cap completely. Failure to do so
may cause the oil to shoot out of the tank very rapidly and cause severe burns.
Do not rely on the hydraulic uid to support the boom or crane. If hydraulic
uid escapes, the boom or crane can fall immediately. Make sure the ground or blocking is
supporting the boom before performing any maintenance or repair.
Contaminants in a hydraulic system aect operation and will result in serious
damage to the system components. Dirty hydraulic systems are a major cause of component
failures.
If evidence of foreign particles is found in the hydraulic system, ush the system.
When installing metal hydraulic tubes, tighten all ttings nger tight. Then , in order, tighten the
ttings at the rigid end, the adjustable end, and the mounting brackets. After tubes are mounted,
install the hoses. Connect both ends of the hose with all ttings nger tight. Position the hose so
it does not rub the machine or another hose and has a minimum of bending and twisting. Tighten
ttings in both couplings.
Due to manufacturing methods, there is a natural curvature to a hydraulic hose. The hose should
be installed so any bend is with this curvature.
