Machine Description

The opening description identifies the main machine systems and layout for the TB125, TB135 and TB145. It explains the undercarriage, working equipment, cab or canopy areas, and the named components used throughout the rest of the manual. This section helps the operator connect the controls and maintenance points to the correct part of the excavator.

Safety

Safety content is woven through the manual and also presented as dedicated warnings covering clothing, protective equipment, fire extinguishers, first aid, signal persons, safety lock lever use, exhaust fumes, fuel handling, asbestos dust, crushing hazards, machine modification and optional attachments. The safety chapter establishes the warning signal words and graphical symbols used on the machine and in the text, so the operator can read later procedures with the correct level of caution.

Controls

The controls chapter identifies the starter key, cab door, front and side windows, engine hood, fuel filler cap, seat and seat belt, instrument panel, switches, levers, pedals, heater controls, auxiliary hydraulic lines, power sockets and other cab fittings. It explains the safety lock lever, throttle lever, operating levers, blade lever, travel levers, pedal lock, boom swing pedal and the warning lamps and indicators on the instrument panel.

Operation

Operation covers mounting and dismounting, walk-around and daily inspection, starting and stopping the engine, warming up the engine and hydraulic oil, lever patterns, travel lever use, pivot and spin turns, working equipment operation, boom swing, dozer blade operation, auxiliary hydraulics and safe parking. It also explains cold-weather handling, rubber crawler care and the machine’s intended excavation, trenching, leveling and loading work.

Transport

The transport section gives loading and unloading guidance using ramps, including ramp angle limits, truck-bed preparation, stoppers, signal person use and the transport posture. It also covers securing the machine with chains or wire ropes and general cautions for moving the excavator by truck.

Maintenance

Maintenance is organized by interval: walk-around and daily inspection, first 50 hours, every 50 hours, every 100 hours, first 100 to 250 hours, every 250 hours, every 500 hours, every 1000 hours, every 2000 hours and when required. Procedures include coolant, engine oil, water separator, fuel level, hydraulic oil, lubrication, filters, fan belt, crawler tension, slew bearing, battery, fuel tank draining, travel motor gear oil, radiator and oil cooler fins, air cleaner, fuel filter, engine cooling system and rubber crawler inspection.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting begins with symptoms that are not malfunctions, then covers overheating, a dead battery, running out of fuel, blown fuses, warning lamp flashes, other symptoms and lowering the boom when the engine has stopped. It also includes towing guidance and the correct jumper cable connection and disconnection order.

Specifications

Options

The options chapter covers safety decals, biodegradable oil, lever pattern switching, attachment combination tables, middle arm, long arm, telescopic arm, hydraulic breaker, 3-hole bucket, bucket, travel alarm, auxiliary pedal, load safety device, automatic crawler adjuster, EU radio, accumulator, second and third auxiliary hydraulics, air conditioner, battery switch and immobilizer system.

Who This Takeuchi Operator Manual Helps

This Takeuchi TB125 TB135 TB145 operator manual is for owners, operators, site supervisors and maintenance staff who need the machine’s own operating and inspection guidance in one PDF. It is especially useful when you need to confirm the correct pre-start checks, understand the safety lock lever and travel controls, plan scheduled maintenance, identify warning lamp causes or review transport and lifting capacity information before a job. The manual keeps model-specific details for the TB125, TB135 and TB145 in one document, with serial-number starting points shown on the cover and specification pages tied to the covered models.

Why Correct Procedures Matter

Compact excavators work in tight spaces, on slopes, around buried services and near other personnel. The manual’s safety, operation and maintenance sections are built around those realities: checking the area, using the safety lock lever, warming up hydraulic oil, keeping clear of the slew radius and following the correct maintenance intervals. Having the Takeuchi TB125 TB135 TB145 operator manual on hand helps reduce guesswork and supports safer, more consistent machine use.
