Takeuchi TB35S Backhoe Loader Operators Manual

On a TB35S backhoe loader you’re usually working in tight jobsites—trenching along foundations, loading spoil into trucks, or cleaning up uneven ground. This operators manual is what I use to make sure the machine is being run the way it was designed: controls used correctly, checks done in the right order, and no bad habits that chew up pins, tires, or hydraulics. If, for example, the boom starts reacting “jerky” when you’re digging near utilities, I’ll go back to this manual to verify operating procedures, warm‑up routines, and control behavior before chasing a hydraulic fault.

Applications & Use Cases

• Train a new operator on what each lever and pedal actually does before they get near a trench or a truck.
• Set up the machine on uneven ground, confirming stabilizer use and bucket positioning so it doesn’t rock or walk while digging.
• Plan daily inspections—fluids, pins, hoses, tires—so you catch leaks or loose hardware before something fails under load.
• Improve cycle times by learning the proper digging and loading techniques instead of fighting the machine.
• Avoid premature wear from riding the brakes, abusing the swing, or overworking the loader arms.

FAQ

Q: Can I keep this manual on my phone or tablet in the cab?

A: Yes, a digital copy works well; just make sure it’s saved offline so you can open it even with no signal on site.

Q: Is it worth printing parts of it?

A: I’d print the daily checklists and control layouts and keep them in a clear sleeve in the cab for quick reference.

Safety Note

Always follow the operating practices in this manual, especially on slopes and around people, before you drop the bucket into the ground.
