Manitou 805323 Parts Catalog

Listen, if you’re wrenching on a Manitou 805323 Parts Catalog 2-stage mast and you’re trying to find the right part number from a third-party PDF you found online, you’re wasting time. I’ve seen guys order the wrong lift cylinder because they trusted an aftermarket diagram. This Parts Catalog — 26 pages of nothing but factory-verified listings — is what you should have on your bench. It covers the Rail System, Lift Cylinder, Chain System, Hydraulic System, Hose Kits, Carriages, even the Decals. No guessing, no cross-referencing eBay listings.

Rail System and Cylinder Breakdown

The manual breaks down the mast into discrete assemblies. Section 1.00 covers the Lift Cylinder – that’s the heart of the mast, and you’d better get the right barrel and piston seals. The Rail System section shows the outer and inner rails with stamped part numbers. Check the top end of each rail assembly for the part number, as noted on page 3 of the catalog. That page also explains how to read the identification plate on the right side of the outer rail. If you’ve ever tried to match a cylinder by measuring bores alone, you know a misprint costs hours.

26 Pages of Factory Specs – What You Get

This catalog is 26 pages, period. Each page is a focused view of one part of the mast: the lift cylinder, chain system, hydraulic hoses (both RH and LH), carriages (ITA type and shaft type), and even the fork positioner for 95-inch models. The table of contents lists every section from 1.00 to 10.00. There’s no filler, no generic illustrations. Every part number is tied to a specific mast model. For related mast models, see the K-D Manitou MVT 1230L/LC Parts Catalog or the K-D MANITOU Parts Catalog R109 (1991) if you’re working on older equipment. For the K5705 series, grab the K-D Manitou K5705 Parts Catalog R48 2000.

Does This Manual Cover the Lift Cylinder?

Yes, and it does it properly. Section 1.00 is dedicated to the lift cylinder assembly. The parts index shows item numbers for each component: barrel, piston, rod, seals, and retaining hardware. You’ll see the part number, description, and quantity per mast model. The cylinder itself has a part number stamped on the upper portion of the barrel – the manual tells you exactly where to look. If you can’t find a match in the catalog, the front page lists the Manitou North America parts department phone number. Don’t guess.

How to Use the Parts Index Correctly

Page 3 of the catalog contains the general information that most people skip. Read it. The parts index works like this: find the illustration for your section (e.g., Rail System), note the item number next to the part you need, then go to the item list and read the part number directly to the right. The description and quantity follow. You must record your mast model number and serial number from the identification plate before placing an order. Modifications after manufacture require Manitou authorization – if you’ve welded on a bracket, the catalog won’t show that change. Keep a log. This catalog even provides blanks on page 3 to write those numbers down.

Why Aftermarket Parts Catalogs Fail: Source Validity

I’ve had customers bring me aftermarket reprints that show the wrong cylinder configuration – missing the bleed port or a different bolt pattern. This is the real OEM document from Manitou North America, Inc., 6401 Imperial Drive, Waco, TX. The PDF is a direct scan of the original catalog number 809779, revision R08-06. There’s no third-party editing. If you need to understand how diesel engines power these machines, refer to this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for background, but for parts, stick to factory data.

Can I find torque specs for the cylinder bolts in this catalog?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a repair manual. It only lists part numbers, descriptions, and quantities. You need a separate service manual for torque values.

How do I read the item numbers on the lift cylinder page?

The illustration on the Lift Cylinder page (section 1.00) has numbered callouts. For example, item 1 might be the barrel, item 2 the piston. Turn to the item list directly following the illustration. Under the “Items” column, locate the item number – the part number is to its immediate right. The description column tells you what it is (e.g., “CYLINDER BARREL – 805069-04”). Always double-check the mast model column to ensure the part fits your specific 805323 variant. If the serial number on your mast doesn’t match the range in the catalog, call Manitou. The catalog includes a note on page 3 that parts may need updated information if the mast has been superseded. That page also tells you to record the mast serial number – do it before you order anything.
