General Installation
This chapter is designed to serve as a general guide
for the installation of a Stellar 28000 Articulating
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. Check with Stellar
Industries before installing this crane on a body other
than a Stellar Service Body.
WARNING!
The use of this crane on a body not
capable of handling the loads imposed on
it may result in serious injury or death.
Installation Notice
According to Federal Law (49 cfr part 571), each
final-stage manufacturer shall complete 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however, be superseded by any conflicting provisions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
manufactured in two or more stages.
Therefore, the installer of Stellar cranes and bodies is
considered one of the manufacturers of the vehicle.
As such a manufacturer, the installer is responsible for
compliance with all applicable federal and state
regulations. 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
http://www.gpoaccess.gov/nara/index.html for the
full text of Code of Federal Regulations.
Notice:
PTO and Pump installation instructions are provided
by the corresponding manufacturers. For more
information on which PTO and Pump fit your

Distributor or Stellar Customer Service.

1. Relocate any obstructions on the frame that will be in the
way of mounting the crane.
2. Measure the inside of the frame rails and cut the frame
support to this length. Ensure that the frame supports have
a tight fit between the frame rails.
3. Set the crane on the chassis and allow a minimum of 2”
from the cab.
4. Install the crane tie downs. Start at one corner and tighten
both tie downs to 200 ft-lbs. Move to the diagonal set and
tighten to 200 ft-lbs. Tighten the remaining 2 corners.
Continue this pattern at 200 ft-lb increments until 500-550 ft-
lbs is achieved. Be sure the mounting block stays
perpendicular to the frame rail as they are tightened
down.
5. Connect the pressure and return lines per the hydraulic kit.
6. Connect the (+12V) power and ground wires.
7. Check the reservoir for oil and fill if necessary.
8. Operate the crane for several cycles.
