Takeuchi TS80R2 Operation and Maintenance Manual (0404-653) (SN 01043 REV 05-2019)

This Operation and Maintenance Manual for the Takeuchi TS80R2 is what we lean on to keep these skid steers predictable in rough work—grading pads, loading trucks, or running attachments all day in dust, mud, and cold starts. It helps you set a solid service rhythm: when to grease, what to inspect, and how to catch wear before it turns into downtime. If the machine starts running hotter than usual or feels weak on the hydraulics, this is the book I use to trace through basic checks in a logical order before we start guessing at expensive parts.

Applications & Use Cases

• Plan routine services so filters, fluids, and grease points are handled on time, not when something fails.
• Follow a consistent inspection pattern to spot loose hardware, hose rubs, or leaking seals early.
• Use the manual to verify adjustments after track, tire, or attachment work so the machine runs straight and stable.
• Keep a maintenance log aligned with the recommended intervals for resale value and warranty discussions.
• Train operators on daily walk‑around checks so problems are flagged before a shift, not in the middle of a load.
