Manitou K5705, K5797, K5755, K1479 Parts Catalog

If you’re working on a Manitou mast and you’re hunting for a part number, you don’t have time to mess around with aftermarket catalogs that guess. I’ve been in that spot—staring at a worn cylinder seal and no idea which part to order. This Manitou K5705, K5797, K5755, K1479 Parts Catalog is the factory document. 20 pages, straight from K-D Manitou. It tells you exactly which part goes where.

Rail System: Page 4 Components

The rail system section covers the outer and inner rails. You get an exploded view with item numbers. Each item maps to a part number, quantity, and which model it fits. Page 4 starts the rail illustrations. If you need a replacement roller or shim, this is where you find it. The catalog includes both left-hand and right-hand secondary cylinder sections on pages 6 and 8, so you don’t have to guess which side.

Primary Cylinder and Secondary Cylinders: Left and Right Parts

Three sections dedicated to cylinders—primary on page 4, secondary left on page 6, secondary right on page 8. Each cylinder has its own diagram. The primary cylinder is the big one that lifts the inner mast. The secondaries handle the free lift. The manual lists seal kits and rod parts. Don’t order a cylinder without checking the serial number first. Page 2 explains why that number is critical. For other Manitou mast models, see the Manitou Mast Parts Catalog.

Hydraulic System and Internal Hose Kit

Pages 12 and 14 cover the hydraulic system and the internal 3-way hose kit. The hydraulic diagram shows the routing and connections. The hose kit section includes the part numbers for the hoses and fittings. If you’re replacing a leaky hose, you need the exact length and fitting type. This catalog gives you both. The Manitou Mast Components Parts Catalog also includes hose kits for other configurations.

3 Sections for Chain Assemblies and Carriage

Chain assemblies appear on page 10. The carriage section on page 16 covers the model K8099 carriage. Chain wear is a safety issue—replace before it fails. The carriage includes the fork stops and mounting hardware. Each part is listed with its model applicability. The catalog also includes a Mast Decals supplement and a Parts Index supplement for quick lookup.

Manitou K5705, K5797, K5755, K1479 Parts Catalog: OEM vs Aftermarket Documentation

Aftermarket parts catalogs often redraw the illustrations and sometimes swap part numbers. This is the original OEM print from K-D Manitou. The part numbers are exactly what the factory uses. If you order using this catalog, you get the right part. No guesswork. I’ve seen too many guys order a “compatible” seal that didn’t fit because they used a third-party catalog. Stick with the factory source. For general background on diesel engines used in these masts, refer to this Wikipedia article on diesel engines.

Is this catalog only for parts ordering, or does it include repair instructions?

Parts ordering only. No repair procedures, just part numbers and diagrams.

What if I need a part that isn’t listed for my specific model?

The catalog covers the K5705, K5797, K5755, and K1479 models. Each part listing shows which models it fits. If you don’t see your model, check the serial number. The mast serial number is stamped on the identification plate on the right side of the outer rail. Some models share common parts. If you still can’t find it, contact K-D Manitou dealer with your serial number. Do not order a part based on visual match alone—interchange might not be correct. Always verify with the factory.
