A filter run past its hour mark or a lift beyond the chart sends a compact excavator to the shop on a trailer. Takeuchi's answer for the TB014 and TB016 is operator manual AC4E029, 214 factory pages supplied here as a Takeuchi TB014, TB016 operator manual PDF. Lifting capacity charts and operating range dimensions fill much of the specifications chapter, so you can check what the arm holds at a given reach. Safety precautions, control layout, rubber crawler care, trailer loading, and breaker and telescopic arm work get plain factory instructions. Fill the TB014 oil pan to 3.0 L (2.8 L on the TB016), change the engine oil filter at 50 hours and every 250 after, and replace the hydraulic return filter every 500 hours. A made-up torque figure shears bolts and strips threads. Bookmarks make screen lookups quick, and you can print the maintenance chart and let it collect oily thumbprints at your bench.
