Takeuchi TB014, TB016 Compact Excavator Workshop Manual (CC4E002)

These TB014 and TB016 minis usually live in tight sites—utility trenches, landscaping, small demo—where downtime hurts right away. This workshop manual is what I’d have open when I’m stripping major components, tracing hydraulic issues, or buttoning the machine back up so it’s safe to send back in the trench. For example, if the boom drifts down or the swing feels weak, I’d use this book to follow a structured test sequence, isolate the problem to a valve, cylinder, or pump, and then reinstall everything in the right order with the right checks.

Applications & Use Cases

• Plan a full teardown and reassembly of major components like the swing, travel, or boom systems with a clear step-by-step flow.
• Trace hydraulic faults by following the recommended test order instead of guessing and swapping good parts.
• Inspect wear points—pins, bushings, seals, and mounts—while components are apart, so you don’t miss hidden play or leaks.
• Verify adjustments and linkages after reinstallation, ensuring smooth control response and proper machine alignment.
• Confirm safe operation after repairs with the manual’s suggested checks before the operator climbs back in.

FAQ

Q: Can I use this manual on a tablet in the field?

A: Yes, it works well on a tablet; you can zoom diagrams and keep it next to you while you’re under the machine.

Q: Is it worth printing sections of this manual?

A: I’d print the procedures you use often or any big repair sequence, so you can mark notes and keep greasy hands off your device.

Safety Note

Always lock out the machine, support raised components securely, and bleed any stored pressure before loosening lines or hardware.
