Introduction
HC-10 NEXSTAR
Keep this manual with the crane at all times.
Auto Crane products are designed to provide many years of safe, trouble-free, dependable service when
properly used and maintained.
To assist you in obtaining the best service from your crane and to avoid untimely crane and/or vehicle
failure, this manual provides proper operating and service instructions. It is specifically recommended
that all operating and service personnel consider this manual as mandatory material for reading and
study before operating or servicing Auto Crane products. It is highly recommended that crane owners,
equipment managers, and supervisors also read this manual.
In addition, the overall dimensions, rotation, and turning radius of the crane are included on the General
Dimension Drawing.
Remember, the crane adds weight to the vehicle which may change the driving and riding characteristics
of the vehicle unless the appropriate overload spring(s) are installed. The payload of the vehicle is reduced
by the weight of the crane. The operator should exercise care when loading the vehicle. Distributing the
payload on the vehicle evenly will greatly improve the driving and riding characteristics of the vehicle.
The cranes are electrically powered by a 12-volt DC electrical system. The use of a maintenance-free
battery is not recommended on any Auto Crane product. The recommended alternator and battery that
will give the longest life with the most useful duty cycle is a 60-amp alternator with a 500 cold cranking
amp battery. These specifications should be considered minimum.
It has always been Auto Crane Company policy to handle all warranty claims we receive as promptly as
possible. If a warranty claim involves discrepant material or workmanship, Auto Crane will take immediate
corrective action. It is understandable that Auto Crane Company cannot assume responsibility of liability
when it is obvious that our products have been abused, misused, overloaded or otherwise damaged by
inexperienced persons trying to operate the equipment without reading the manual.
Auto Crane will not assume responsibility or liability for any modifications or changes made to unit, or
installation of component parts without authorization.
Auto Crane maintains a strong distributor network and a knowledgeable Customer Service Department.
In most cases, an equipment problem is solved via phone conversation with our customer service
department. This department also has the ability to bring in a local distributor, regional sales manager, or
factory serviceman to help determine the solution to an equipment problem.
Auto Crane Company’s extensive Research and Development Program allow our customers to use the best
equipment on the market. Our engineering staff and knowledgeable salespeople are always available to
our customers in solving crane and service body application problems. When in doubt, call the Auto Crane
factory.
Should you require any assistance not given in this manual, we recommend that you consult your nearest
