Takeuchi TL220, TL230, TL240, TL250 Track Loader Operators Manual (AU1E011)

These Takeuchi TL220–TL250 track loaders usually live on rough jobsites—muddy cuts, tight infill lots, demolition clean‑ups—doing grading, loading trucks, and handling pallets or spoil. This operators manual is what I keep handy to explain what every control does, how the machine should feel under load, and what to check each day before it goes to work. If, for example, the loader starts nosing down on uneven ground when you curl the bucket, this book helps you verify you’re using the right operating technique and checks, before you blame the hydraulics.

Applications & Use Cases

Train new operators on proper joystick use, travel speeds, and attachment control so they don’t shock-load the machine.
Plan daily walk‑around checks to spot loose tracks, leaking hoses, or warning lights before a breakdown.
Improve machine behavior on slopes by adjusting how you approach grades, turn, and carry the load.
Reduce undercarriage wear by learning how to route the machine on site and avoid constant counter‑rotation in one spot.
Work safely in poor visibility with guidance on boom positions, mirrors, and awareness around people and other machines.

FAQ

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

A: Yes, many techs do; just make sure the file is downloaded so you can open it even without reception.

Q: Is it worth printing parts of it?

A: I’d print the control layout and daily check pages, laminate them, and keep them in the site office or service truck.

Safety Note

Always follow the operating practices in this manual before moving the machine, especially on slopes or around other workers.
