Wrenching on a Targo? This 252-page Claas Targo repair manual PDF covers the whole family: Targo K50, K60 and K70 telescopic handlers, from the front axle pinion group to the T12000 powershift transmission. Inside you get gear-by-gear hydraulic selection plans for the gearbox, APC failure codes, stall test and pressure check procedures, and a troubleshooting guide for low clutch pressure, overheating, and lack of power. Step-by-step teardowns cover clutch pack dismantling, boom wear pad replacement, and steering cylinder overhaul. Torque the wheel nuts to 300 Nm and the axle-to-chassis nuts to 640 Nm; the factory numbers are printed right there. No more guessing which solenoid pair fires third gear. Bookmarked and keyword-searchable; open it on any device right at the machine and get your handler back to work.

Claas Targo K50/K60/K70 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Claas Targo K50 brake pedal soft after axle service, needs repeated pumping to stop
Verify all brake pipes disturbed during axle work are tight before bleeding. Bleed the circuit at each bleed point until fluid runs clear with no bubbles, following the brake bleeding procedure on p. 62. Check the hydraulic tank holds 0.3 bar air pressure; a flat tank starves the brake supply. Road test and confirm a firm pedal on the first stroke.
Manual Section: Axles and Steering p. 62Steering slow and erratic after front axle reinstall, needs several full-lock turns to respond
Test the steering by cycling lock to lock several times at low idle to purge trapped air. Inspect the steering sensor lead and cylinder hose connections disturbed during the repair, then torque the steering cylinder attachment bolts to 120 Nm (88 lbf ft), listed with the axle torques on page 42. Recheck response at full lock both directions before road use.
Manual Section: Axles and Steering p. 42Transmission slips in forward gears under load, loses drive on slopes once oil warms up
Check the transmission oil level first; the system takes 16 litres, and a low sump aerates the clutch supply. Run the pressure checks in the troubleshooting guide beginning on page 200 and verify system pressure holds 16.5 to 19.5 bar with oil at 50°C and 2000 rpm. Low readings point to the regulator valve or leaking clutch seals; run a stall test to isolate the pack.
Manual Section: Transmission Troubleshooting p. 200Constant growling noise from front axle at road speed, gets louder when turning
Check wheel nut torque first, 300 Nm on every corner; a loose wheel mimics bearing growl. Drain the hub oil and inspect it for metal, then work through the axle noise diagnosis procedures to separate hub bearing noise from differential noise. Torque the drain plug to 80 Nm on refit. Growl that changes with steering angle usually means a hub bearing.
Manual Section: Axles and Steering p. 55Boom and hydraulic functions sluggish or dead after component service until engine speed raised
Verify the hydraulic oil level with the boom fully lowered, then confirm the tank is holding 0.3 bar air pressure; page 64 gives the spec, and a leaking filler cap lets the pump cavitate at low rpm. Dump system pressure safely, recheck every fitting opened during the repair, and inspect the suction line for collapsed hose or loose clamps.
Manual Section: Axles and Steering p. 64Frequently Asked Questions
What are the torque specifications for the axle bolts and wheel nuts on the CLAAS TARGO K50, K60, and K70?
For the front axle, the axle to chassis nuts must be torqued to 640 Nm (472 lbf ft.), drive shaft bolts to 70-85 Nm (52-63 lbf ft.), and wheel nuts to 300 Nm (221 lbf ft.). For the rear axle, the axle to chassis nuts are 640 Nm (472 lbf ft.), drive shaft bolts are 70-85 Nm (52-63 lbf ft.), wheel nuts are 300 Nm (221 lbf ft.), and axle support bolts are 370 Nm (273 lbf ft.). p. 12
What are the torque specifications for the engine pod to chassis and drive shaft bolts?
When installing the engine pod, the engine pod to chassis bolts must be torqued to 640 Nm (472 lbf ft.). The drive shaft to gearbox bolts should be torqued to 61-81 Nm (45-60 lbf ft.), and the drive shaft to axle bolts should be torqued to 70-85 Nm (52-63 lbf ft.). p. 69
What is the correct procedure for bleeding the brake system on the CLAAS TARGO?
After a component change, start the engine to charge the accumulator, then stop the engine and apply/release brakes until they no longer apply. Repeat this three times. Then, attach a bleed tube to the brake unit nearest the brake valve (front right) and bleed in the order: Front left, Rear right, Rear left, and finally the Trailer brake valve. p. 62
What is the required oil capacity for the transmission on the CLAAS TARGO?
The transmission oil quantity required for the DANA T12000 gearbox is 16 Litres. p. 75
What is the specified belt tension for the air conditioning compressor?
The pulley belt for the compressor must be tensioned to 22 N. This should result in a belt deflection of no more than 16 mm at the mid-point of the longest span. p. 240
