Service Data
To maintain the performance and service life of the
engine, always use clean and high-quality fuel.
� To avoid freezing in cold climates, use a diesel
fuel that still functions when the temperature
is at least 12°C below the lowest expected
ambient temperature.
�
Use a diesel fuel that has a cetane number
of 45 or higher. When operating at a very low
temperature or at a high altitude, a higher
cetane number fuel will be required.
�
Use fuel with sulfur content of less than
0.05 to 0.0015% by volume. Especially in
the U.S.A. and Canada, ultra-low sulfur fuel
should be used.
A higher sulfur content fuel may cause sulfuric
acid corrosion in the cylinders of the engines.
�
Never mix kerosene, used engine oil, or
residual fuels with the diesel fuel.
�
Poor quality fuel can reduce engine
performance and / or cause engine damage.
�
Fuel additives are not recommended.
Some fuel additives may cause poor engine
performance.

If the percentage of the traveling time within the total operating time is high, replace the gear oil
earlier than the specified time.
***:
The hydraulic oil replacement interval depends on the type of hydraulic oil being used.
New machine are delivered with Takeuchi genuine hydraulic oil 46, and the hydraulic oil
replacement intervals indicated in this manual assume that Takeuchi genuine hydraulic oil 46 is
being used. When using conventional antiwear hydraulic oil, the hydraulic oil should be replaced
every 2000 hours.
