Chapter 1 - Safety
Please Read the Following Carefully!
This portion of the manual contains
information regarding all Stellar
manufactured container carriers. Some
items contained within this chapter may not
apply to your specific equipment.
Safety should be the number one thought on
every operators mind. Three factors should
exist for safe operation: a qualified operator,
well-maintained equipment, and the proper
use of this equipment. The following
information should be read and understood
completely by everyone working with or near
the container carrier before putting the unit
into operation.
Please take note that Stellar Industries, Inc. is
not liable for accidents incurred by the
container carrier because of non-fulfillment
from the operators side of current rules, laws,
and regulations.
General Safety
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.
Read all Danger and Caution decals on the
equipment and understand their meaning.
Personal Safety
Keep clear of all moving parts.
Always wear the prescribed personal safety
devices.
Always wear approved accident-prevention
clothing such as: protective helmets, anti-slip
Safety 1
shoes with steel toes, protective gloves, anti-
noise headphones, protective glasses,
breathing apparatus, and reflective jackets.
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 container
carrier.
Keep 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 handholds.
These parts move and cannot provide stable
support.
Do not allow unauthorized personnel or
equipment to enter within 10 feet of
container carrier operating area.
Never allow anyone to ride the container
carrier or load.
Maintenance Safety
Never modify or alter any of the equipment,
whether mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic,
without Stellar Industries approval.
Do not perform any maintenance or repair
work on the container carrier unless
authorized and trained to do so.
ATTENTION
The Manual Hardcase, which holds
the maunal and other useful
documents, must be installed
permanently to the truck chassis.
2 Container Carrier Owners Manual
Release system pressure before attempting
to make adjustments or repairs.
Do not attempt service or repair when 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,
damaged, or not
legible.
The safety instruction plates, notices, load
charts and any other sticker applied to the
container carrier must be kept legible and in
good condition. If necessary, replace them.
Keep all surfaces of the container carrier free
of oil and grease to avoid slippery surfaces
and aid in inspections.
Stability
Know the container carrier components and
their capabilities and limitations.
Do not move the truck while the fork frame
and container are raised. A raised load can
create a top heavy unstable load.
Overloading the container carrier may result
in serious damage of self, others, equipment
or the surroundings.
Never exceed manufacturers load ratings.
These ratings are based on the machines
hydraulic, mechanical, and structural design
rather than stability.
Load Safety
Move the control lever slow and smooth for
steady oil flow.
Be constantly aware of the container carrier
position when operating the controls.
Do not attempt to lift fixed loads.
Deduct the weight of the body from the
maximum load rating to determine how
much weight can be lifted.
Keep everyone clear when loading,
unloading, and dumping.
Do not push on fixed objects or bodies with
the forks of the container carrier.
Do not permit loose objects on the container
carrier.
Use a qualified person to assist in loading
when the load is not visible to the operator.
Do not leave container carrier unattended
with suspended load.
Be aware of the cushioning effect of springs
and tires when loading/unloading.
Never use the drivetrain of the chassis to
assist the hydraulics in loading
Environment
Do not operate the container carrier 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
owners manual regarding operating the
vehicle in such adverse conditions.
In extreme cold, operate the controls slowly
to allow for viscosity changes.
ATTENTION
Stellar Industries, Inc. is not liable for
accidents incurred by the container
carrier because of the operators
non-fulfillment of current rules, laws
and regulations.

Chapter 2 - Operation
Job-Site Set-Up
Thoroughly plan the lift before positioning the
vehicle. Consider the following:
1. The vehicle should be positioned in an area
free from overhead obstructions to eliminate
the need for repositioning.
2. Position the vehicle so that it is impossible for
any portion of the equipment to come within
the minimum required safe distance of any
power line. Maintain a clearance of at least
10 feet between any part of the container
carrier, or load, and any electrical line or
apparatus carrying up to 50,000 volts. One
foot additional clearance is required for every
additional 30,000 volts or less. Remember to
allow for winds that cause power lines to
sway. It is recommended that a signal person
be used when the vehicle is set-up near
power lines.
3. The vehicle should also be positioned on a
firm and level surface that will provide ade-
quate support.
Container Carrier Controls
1. Be familiar with the sequence and operation
of the container carrier controls.
2. Each individual container carrier function
should have control function decals. Replace
them immediately if they are missing or illegi-
ble.
3. Keep hands, feet and control levers free from
mud, grease and oil.
4. Be familiar with the control levers and how
they operate before attempting to operate
the container carrier.
5. Be prepared before beginning operation of
the container carrier:
All protective guards must be in place.
Be aware of the surroundings: low branches,
power lines, unstable ground.
Be sure all safety devices provided are in
place and in good operating condition.
Be prepared for all situations. Keep fire extin-
guisher and first aid kit near.
Be sure all regular maintenance has been
performed.
Visually inspect all aspects of the container
carrier for physical damage.
Check for fluid leaks.

Cable Control Installation
The standard cable controls supplied with
Stellar equipment are a high-quality assem-
bly which seal out moisture, are corrosion
protected, and engineered to minimize
backlash (lost motion). After the container
carrier frame is mounted to the truck chas-
sis, the remote cable controls may be
installed.
Cable Control Mounting
1. On the hydraulic control valve, remove
the screws holding the spool cover plate.
Postion the handle assembly on the valve
face and install the screws provided with
the handle kit. Install the clevis pin and
cotter pin.
2. The valve is mounted to the valve brack-
et welded to the left side of the main
assembly.
3. Position the control cable bulkhead plate
on the top of the valve bracket welded
to the left side of the main assembly.
Install the control cable bulkhead plate
with 1/2 cap screws and nuts, or weld. If
necessary, temporarily assemble the
threaded cable end to the bulkhead
plate for proper positioning with the valve
handles.
4. Mount the cable controllers to the con-
trol mount supplied. Other mounting
options are shown in the following illustra-
tion:
Figure 9
FLUSH SIDE BANKED
MOUNTING MOUNTING TOGETHER
Important
A. A good cable path is essential for a
properly operating system. Keep bends
in the cable path to a minimum and as
generous as possible. Under no circum-
stances should any bend be tighter than
an 8 radius.
B. Protect the cable from heat above 225F
and avoid hot areas such as the exhaust
system, etc.
C. Protect the cable from physical damage
such as pinching or crushing and do not
use cable supports which may crush or
deform cable.
D. Allow room for flexing where the cable is
attached to moving parts of the equip-
ment so that the cable is neither kinked
nor stretched.
5. Choose a mounting location which is
convenient and comfortable for the
operator and provides adequate clear-
ance for the control lever movement.
Check the underside of the cab for rein-
forcement members, air lines, wiring har-
nesses, and linkages before cutting into
the floor. Be sure the location chosen
allows the cables to be led easily away
from the control. Reversing control direc-
tion usually is not necessary. In most
cases, the direction of the lever move-
ment for a given valve function can be
changed by switching the hydraulic lines
at the valve. If this is not an option, con-
trol operation can be changed simply by
turning the cable controller 180.
6. Cut a hole for the control cables to pass
through.
7. If using the control provided, mark and
drill four (4) .375 diameter holes for the
3/8 cap screws provided.

pivot points and the container carrier
hinge pins.
2. Fill the reservoir with 10 gallons of high
quality of SAE 10 hydraulic oil i.e.: Arco
Duro 150, Harmony 32 AE by Gulf, or
Mobil DTE 25.
4. Check the overhead area for obstruc-
tions.
5. Clear all equipment from under the rear
of the container carrier.
6. Slowly extend the cylinders. Check for
binding.

Warning: Escaping fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin can cause serious injury.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure
before disconnecting hydraulic lines.
Tighten all connections before applying
pressure. Search for leaks with a piece of
cardboard. Protect hands and body from
high pressure fluids. If an accident occurs,
see a doctor immediately. Any fluid inject-
ed into the skin must be surgically removed
within a few hours or gangrene may result.
7. Raise and lower the fork frame and tilt
the forks up and down.
8. Extend the cylinders completely a third
time, and bleed off any entrapped air.
9. Check all connections and components
for leaks.
10. Retract the cylinders, pressurize the lines,
and check for leaks.
