SKOOP Master Guide

02. General Safety & Warnings

Operator Health & Rules

• All equipment operators must possess qualifications that meet relevant safety requirements and must be at least 18 years old.
• When operating mechanical equipment with moving parts, do not wear clothing that is loose (such as ties, scarves, or unbuttoned hems).
• Before starting the loader, ensure your seatbelt is fastened. Seat belts must be replaced every three years.
• The maximum permissible load and operating temperatures range from -30°C to 45°C.

Operational Restrictions

• It is strictly forbidden to use the loader to transport hazardous materials or to transport personnel.
• No unauthorized modifications, additions, or combinations with non-originating accessories are permitted without written consent from TYPHON.
• Never inspect the battery near an open flame or while charging.

03. Main Components & Dashboard

The control system is designed to perfectly combine ultimate driving comfort with superior performance.

Multi-Function Joystick & Controls

• Joystick: The control handle on the right side provides standard control functionality, operating three gears: Forward, Neutral, and Reverse.
• Braking System: The hydrostatic drive unit acts as the main service brake. The manual drum parking brake handle is connected to the drive shaft via a connecting rod.
• Steering Gear: The steering gear can be adjusted longitudinally. Adjustments should only be made when the loader is stationary!

Dashboard Displays

• LCD Display: Shows working hours (0.0~99999.9h), system voltage, and fuel level (triggers alarm at ≤1/8 capacity).
• Engine Metrics: Engine speed (0~3000rpm) and Water Temperature. If water temperature hits ≥102°C, an intermittent buzzer alarm will sound.
• Warning Icons: Includes alerts for low oil pressure, hydraulic oil over-temperature, and a charging/alternator alarm.

04. Operating Procedures

Safe and efficient loading operations depend entirely on the operator. Always remain vigilant and use common sense.

Starting and Driving

• Before starting, adjust the driver's seat and steering wheel, fasten your seatbelt, and confirm the parking brake is engaged.
• Turn the ignition switch to start, lightly press the left micro-motion pedal, release the handbrake, and push the gear lever to the desired direction.
• During emergency braking, immediately release the accelerator pedal and depress the micro pedal.

Loading and Hill Safety

• When carrying a heavy load, reduce your speed. Loading operations should be limited to a maximum speed of 5 km/h.
• When traveling under load, the bucket should be raised to the transport position (approximately 20 cm from the ground).
• When driving on a slope (forward or backward), the cargo should always face upwards towards the ascent direction.
• Parking on a ramp is strictly prohibited. If a breakdown occurs, park the loader, engage the handbrake, and place wheel chocks under the tires.

05. Official TYPHON Attachments

The SKOOP loader features a quick attachment change system controlled by a multi-functional valve. Below is the official TYPHON SKU catalog.

06. Maintenance Schedule

Routine maintenance must be performed by professionally trained personnel. Ensure the vehicle is securely fastened and parked on level ground before maintenance begins.

Daily Maintenance (Every 10 Hours)

• Clean the air filter.
• Check engine oil level, coolant level, and hydraulic oil level.
• Check tire condition and ensure standard tire pressure is maintained at 300 kPa.
• Check wheel nuts. The correct torque value for front and rear wheel nuts (M18×15) is 310±45 Nm.
• Lubricate all pivot pins and steering cylinder pivot pins.

Weekly Maintenance (30-50 Hours)

• Clean the fuel filter and oil-water separator.
• Check for oil leaks on the front and rear axles and check oil levels.
• Check the tension and condition of the V fan belt.

Major Maintenance (Every 500 Hours or 1 Month)

• Change the engine oil and engine oil filter.
• Change the hydraulic oil and replace the hydraulic return oil filter.
• Change the oil in the transmission gearbox and replace the axle lubricant.

07. Shipping, Towing & Storage

Shipping Procedures

• Disconnect the battery cable.
• Drain the coolant from the radiator and engine cylinder block, and discharge fuel into a dedicated container.
• Secure the front and rear frames with locking plates, and use sturdy ropes to lift the loader at the marked lifting point.

Traction & Towing

• The machine can only tow for short distances. Long-distance towing is prohibited.
• The traction point is located behind the counterweight. Maximum permissible traction force is 20 kN.
• Only rigid traction (traction bars) is permitted, and maximum traction speed must be ≤5 km/h.

Long-Term Storage

• Machine storage temperature range is -30°C to 50°C.
• The loader should be raised and the axles locked to prevent the tires from contacting the ground.
• Tire pressure needs to be reduced to 15 psi (pounds per square inch).
• Remove the battery and store it separately in a cool, dry place.

08. Fluids & Troubleshooting Diagnostics

System Capacities & Fluid Specifications

• Fuel Tank: 30 Liters capacity using Diesel fuel (Standard DIN 51601).
• Hydraulic Oil Tank: 30 Liters capacity using hydraulic oil HLP (ISO VG 46).
• Drive Axle: 1.5 Liters capacity using Gear oil SAE 85W 90 GL 5 (Hypoid gears).
• Engine Oil: Follow Engine SAE 15W/40 (for ambient temps 20°C to above 30°C).
