Takeuchi TSR70, TSR80 Skid Steer Loader Operation and Maintenance Manual (7005-981) (REV 05-31-13)

These TSR70 / TSR80 skid steers usually live in mud, demolition rubble, or tight construction sites, doing loader work all day with buckets, forks, and brooms. This Operation and Maintenance Manual is what I’d keep nearby to stay ahead of breakdowns—setting a solid service rhythm, knowing what to inspect, and in what order. If, for example, you start noticing sluggish hydraulics or a bit of creep in the drive, this book helps you trace the problem methodically instead of just throwing parts at it.

Applications & Use Cases

• Plan preventive maintenance intervals so filters, fluids, and wear points are serviced before they cause downtime.
• Walk through daily and weekly inspections to catch loose hardware, leaks, or cracked hoses before a long shift.
• Verify adjustment points on linkages, belts, and controls to keep the loader driving straight and operating smoothly.
• Trace hydraulic or control issues using the recommended checks to isolate whether it’s operator error, adjustment, or a failing component.
• Standardize checks across a fleet, so every operator inspects and reports machine condition the same way.

FAQ

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

A: Yes, a digital copy works well; just zoom in on diagrams and keep it available offline for jobsites with poor signal.

Q: Is it worth printing parts of it?

A: Many techs print the inspection and service-interval pages, laminate them, and hang them in the workshop for quick reference.

Safety Note

Always follow the manual’s lockout, support, and engine shutdown steps before putting your hands near any moving or pressurized components.
