Takeuchi TB014, TB016 Compact Excavator Operators Manual (AC4E025-1)

On these little Takeuchi TB014 and TB016 minis, you’re usually trenching around services, working tight residential lots, or cleaning up on cramped commercial sites with uneven ground and poor visibility. This operators manual is what I’d keep handy to run the machine the way it was meant to be run—how the controls respond, what to check every day, and how to avoid beating up the undercarriage or hydraulics. If, for example, the machine feels jerky when you swing with a load near a foundation, this is the book that helps you adjust your technique and verify the right operating steps before you start chasing a “fault” that’s really just misuse.

Applications & Use Cases

Daily walk‑around checks so you catch leaks, loose hardware, or track issues before they stop the job.
Learning control behavior under load to keep the machine stable when trenching along slopes or near utilities.
Improving fine control for work beside walls, fences, or parked vehicles where over‑swing is a risk.
Setting up safe digging habits in tight backyards, driveways, and roadside ditches.
Reducing premature wear on tracks, slew ring, and boom by using proper travel and digging techniques.

FAQ

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

A: Yes, as long as you can zoom and scroll easily; just protect the device from dust, vibration, and moisture.

Q: Is it worth printing parts of this manual?

A: Many of us print the daily checks and control diagrams, laminate them, and keep them in the toolbox for quick reference on site.

Safety Note

Always follow the manual’s operating guidance before working on slopes, near edges, or around other workers and equipment.
