Takeuchi TS50V, TS60V Skid Steer Loader Operation and Maintenance Manual (7001-230) (REV 05-2017)

These TS50V / TS60V skid steers usually live in mud, gravel, demolition rubble and tight loading areas, where you’re cycling the boom and hydraulics all day. This Operation and Maintenance Manual is what I’d keep on hand to set a solid service rhythm—when to grease, what to inspect, and how to shut down and restart correctly after a long, hard shift. If, for example, you start getting sluggish loader response on a cold morning, this is the book I’d use to walk you through basic checks and routine maintenance so you can isolate whether it’s an operating issue or something that actually needs a shop visit.

Applications & Use Cases

• Set up a regular maintenance schedule so filters, fluids and grease points are handled before they cause downtime.
• Trace early wear on pins, bushings and tires by following the recommended inspection routines.
• Verify operating procedures for cold starts, transport, and parking on slopes to keep the machine predictable.
• Check service intervals before a big job so you don’t hit a maintenance deadline mid-contract.
• Train new operators on correct daily walk-arounds and shutdown habits to avoid abuse-related failures.

FAQ

Q: Can I keep this manual on a tablet in the cab?

A: Yes, it works well digitally; you can zoom in on diagrams and quickly search terms while you’re parked.

Q: Is it worth printing parts of it?

A: Many techs print the maintenance and inspection pages, put them in a binder, and keep it in the service truck for greasy-hands use.

Safety Note

Always lock out movement, support raised components securely, and follow the manual’s warnings before inspecting or servicing the loader.
