Hooklift Mounting and Assembly
Study names and locations of the parts and
familiarize yourself with the hooklift before
starting the assembly . Reading the step-by-
step instructions that follow will be helpful.
Safety
Read all of the safety notations in the
assembly instructions for your protection.
Accidents can be prevented by recogniz-
ing the cause of an accident before it can
happen.
Assembly
Select an area for assembly that will be
large enough to accommodate the com-
pleted unit. The surface of the work area
should be as level as possible. Use the
proper hand tools to ensure proper bolt
tightness. Refer to the chart below for the
recommended torque values for different
sizes of bolts.
Recommended Torque Values in Ft-Lbs
For SAE GRADE 5 and GRADE 8 coarse
thread cap screws and bolts shown are sug-
gested maximum for fasteners, carrying only
the residue oil of the manufacturer.
Proper Bolt Use
Do not use these values if a different torque
value or tightening procedure is given for a
specific application. Torque values listed
are for general use only. Check tightness of
fasteners periodically.
Sheer bolts are designed to fail under pre-
determined 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 lubrica-
tion. Tighten lubricated bolts to approxi-
mately 80% of dry bolts.
Model Number
Know the model number of the Stellar®
Hooklift being mounted. Use this model
number whenever referring to the assembly
or parts listing pages. The number is
stamped on the name plate which is locat-
ed on the front frame member.
Right and Left sides can be established by
standing behind the truck frame and look-
ing towards the front, or the direction of
travel.
