FAILURE TO READ THIS MANUAL BY ANYONE WHO WILL OPERATE, SERVICE, OR WORK
AROUND THIS CABLE HOIST IS A MISUSE OF THE EQUIPMENT. DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY

Occupational safety is a prime concern of Stellar Industries in the design and production
of this cable hoist. Our goal in writing this manual was the safety of the operator and oth-
ers who work around this equipment.
It is your responsibility to know the specific requirements, governmental regulations, pre-
cautions and work hazards that exist in the operation and maintenance of this cable
hoist. You shall make these available and known to all personnel working with and
around the equipment, so that all of you will take the necessary and required safety pre-
cautions.
FAILURE TO HEED THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
It is also your responsibility to operate and maintain your cable hoist with caution, skill,
and good judgment. Following the recognized safety procedures will help you avoid
accidents. Modification to any part of his cable hoist can create a safety hazard and
therefore shall not be made without the manufacturer’s written approval. Use only facto-
ry approved accessories, options, and parts on this equipment. The rebuilding or remount-
ing of this equipment requires the mounting procedures and retesting to be in accor-
dance with factory instructions. Safety covers and devices must remain installed and
maintained in proper working condition. Safety decals must be maintained, be com-
pletely legible, and be properly located. If safety covers, devices, or decals are missing,
they must be replaced with the proper designated Stellar part.
Be capable, careful, and concerned! Make safety your everyday business!
Attention!
According to Federal Law (49 cfr part 571),
each final-stage manufacturer shall com-
plete 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 require-
ment shall, however, be superseded by any
conflicting provisions of a standard that
applies by its terms to vehicles manufac-
tured in two or more stages.
Therefore, the installer of Stellar cable hoists
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 regula-
tions issued under the National Traffic and
Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
