4.04.002 Stellar Crane EC3200

This Policy is under development.

Purpose

The purpose of this procedure is to establish the minimum requirements for maintaining the Stellar EC3200 crane for use on Flogistix Crane Trailers.

This Policy is effective for all Stellar EC3200 model cranes used on Flogistix Crane Trailers that are being used at Flogistix Field Locations, Manufacturing locations, or Customer locations for maintaining Flogistix equipment and being used only by Flogistix trained employees.

• Before operating the equipment (Stellar EC3200 Crane),

• Make sure all regular maintenance has been performed.

Each day, inspect the crane for all of the following:

• • Check Vehicle or Crane Trailer for standard checks such as proper tire inflation and that trailer inspection has been completed before continuing use of trailer

  • 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.

  • Crane hook and make sure safety latch is operation on hook

  • Loose parts, damage to structures or weld of base where crane is mounted to crane trailer.

  • Anti-two block switch for proper function.

  • Wire rope for broken wires, extensive wear, distortion, and heat damage. •

  • All safety guards for proper installation.

  • Auxiliary crane battery (If used) for adequate charge. Maintenance for auxiliary battery recharge instructions.

  • 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.

General Maintenance guidelines:

Position the Crane where it will be out of the way of other operations or vehicles in the area.

Lower the boom fully or stow in the cradle to prevent uncontrolled movement

Place all controls in the off position and secure operating features from inadvertent motion, Follow all Flogistix directed Lockout/Tag Out procedures

Before any service or repair is performed, disengage the hydraulic power source and shut off power source to crane

Allow system to cool before performing any maintenance

///before performing maintenance on electrical components, disconnect the power source.

Before performing any maintenance on hydraulic components, relieve hydraulic pressure from all hydraulic circuits. Move control levers repeatedly through their operating positions to relive all pressures

Do Not disconnect hydraulic hoses while there is still pressure in those components.

Stellar EC3200 Crane Maintenance

Refer to the below example on the recommended maintenance schedule for the Stellar EC3200 Crane.

Hydraulic Oil/Filter Maintenance

Stellar Industries recommends the first filter change to occur after the first 250 hours of service. The second, and every subsequent change, should occur after every 1,000 hours of service. By following these guidelines, the hydraulic oil should last up to 6,500 hours. Note: These recommendations are based on normal working parameters. If operating in less than favorable conditions excessive dust, moisture, etc. Be sure to check the filter gauge often for filter change notice. Important:

Washing Crane

Prior to washing the Stellar crane, all electrical components must be covered to prevent any water from being injected into plastic housing. Avoid any direct water pressure to any of the electrical components.

Extension Boom Maintenance

While operating the crane, extend and retract the extension booms.

If the extension weldments are noisy during operation, it is necessary to lubricate the booms. Stellar® Model Cranes feature a metal coating which will require an aerosol lubricant. Stellar® Industries recommends aerosol style lubricant Stellar® PN 44512.

Rotation Gear Bearing Maintenance

Recommended Lubrication types

Responsibilities

EHSS - Responsible to assist in the implementation of this procedure and to review for effectiveness.

Employees, Contractors, Vendors, ETC. - Are responsible to follow the follow the requirements outlined in this procedure and ask for assistance

Scope

This procedure applies to all Stellar EC3200 cranes that are currently being by Flogistix personnel and is applicable to all Flogistix employees, contractors, and temporary employees.

Hazards

Employees using Flogistix portable cranes should be properly trained in the proper use and lifting technics and have attended the required Crane and Rigging training through Flogistix EHSS.

Employees should be aware that units could contain flammable and toxic gasses. Potential for the possible hazards of gas ignition or fire, hot surfaces & fluids. Risk of possible concentration of H2S. Hazardous gases could be in the units pressure vessels, cooler, or associated piping and risk of inhalation of hazardous gas fumes.

Environmental spill of compressor oil and production fluids

Safety

All Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Field Mechanical duties apply for this procedure. Flogistix EHSS Manual, Section 8, Procedure 8.3 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Four Gas Monitor, if nipple is being replaced in the field which is outlined in the Flogistix EHSS Manual, Section 8, Procedure 8.3 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

This procedure applies to all Stellar EC3200 crane units in service in the field, at a service shop, or in any storage yard.

Insure Flogistix personnel have proper safety certification or site orientation if required by the Flogistix Customer.

Insure Flogistix personnel adhere to any Customers safety practices.

Disposal of fluids
