Takeuchi TSV70, TSV80 Skid Steer Loader Operation and Maintenance Manual (7005-995) (REV 05-31-13)

These TSV70 and TSV80 skid steers usually live in mud, dust, and tight spaces—loading trucks, grading pads, feeding hoppers, and cleaning up demolition. This Operation and Maintenance Manual is what I keep handy to set a solid service rhythm: when to grease, what to inspect, and how to operate so the machine stays predictable day after day. If, for example, the loader starts feeling sluggish or jerky in the hydraulics, I use this book to walk through basic checks, verify daily/weekly service points, and rule out simple causes before we start tearing into components.

Applications & Use Cases

• Plan preventive maintenance intervals so the loader doesn’t surprise you with downtime during peak work.
• Trace developing issues like hard starting or weak lift back to missed inspections or incorrect operation.
• Verify adjustment and inspection points on linkages, belts, and filters before and after heavy seasons.
• Train new operators on proper warm-up, shutdown, and daily walk‑around so they don’t abuse the machine.
• Document service history by matching your work orders to the recommended checks in the manual.

FAQ

Q: Can I keep a digital copy of this manual on my phone or tablet for field use?

A: Yes, a digital copy is ideal; you can zoom diagrams, search terms, and keep it with you in the cab or truck.

Q: Is it worth printing sections of this manual for the shop?

A: Many techs print the service-interval charts and inspection checklists, laminate them, and hang them near the tool bench for quick reference.

Safety Note

Always follow the manual’s safety instructions and lockout procedures before inspecting, adjusting, or servicing the skid steer.
