Manitou 806917 Parts Catalog – Factory Specs for the 2-Stage Mast

You’re staring at a pile of disassembled mast sections, a few buckets of bolts, and a part number you scribbled on a scrap of paper that’s now soaked in hydraulic fluid. That’s the moment when a generic aftermarket parts list turns your morning into a guessing game. Three wrong orders, two returned cylinders, and a pissed-off customer later, you’re wishing you had the real deal. This Manitou 806917 Parts Catalog is that real deal – the exact same book the Manitou North America parts counter uses. 24 pages, factory illustrations, and every part number tied to a specific item on the drawing. No third-party transcription errors, no “compatible with” nonsense. If it’s in this catalog, it’s a genuine Manitou part number.

What the Catalog Covers: Rail System to Carriage

The table of contents runs from section 0.00 (Rail System) through 8.00 (Decals). Right in the middle you’ll find the Lift Cylinder (section 1.00), Chain System (2.00), and Hydraulic System (3.00). Then two separate hose kit sections – right-hand and left-hand – followed by carriage options: ITA Type (section 6.00) and Shaft Type (section 7.00). Each section has a clean illustration with item numbers. Find the item number, read across to the part number, description, quantity, and mast model. That’s it. No fluff, no “step-by-step” repair instructions – this is a parts catalog, not a service manual. You want part numbers, you got ’em.

Lift Cylinder – Identifying the Right Assembly

Section 1.00 dedicates a full two-page spread to the lift cylinder assembly. The illustration shows the barrel, rod, seals, and mounting hardware. Along the upper portion of the barrel, you’ll find the stamped part number – the catalog tells you exactly where to look (page 3 of the general information section explains that). If your cylinder has been replaced before, the serial number of the mast is critical. Without it, you’ll order the wrong rebuild kit. The catalog makes it clear: provide the mast model number and serial number when ordering. Those numbers are on the identification plate on the right side of the outer rail, at or above eye level. Record them before you pull the mast apart.

OEM vs Aftermarket: Why This Catalog Wins

Aftermarket parts catalogs often reprint old data, mix up left and right hose kits, or drop the “-04” suffix that distinguishes a revision. I’ve seen a generic list call for a part that was discontinued five years ago. This copy came straight from Manitou North America, printed on their press. The catalog number is 809781, revision R08-06. If you’re working on a diesel-powered forklift, understanding the engine basics helps with hydraulic system diagnosis – see this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for a primer on how the power source interacts with the hydraulic pump. But for parts ordering, you don’t guess – you use the factory source. For broader engine theory, this Wikipedia article on diesel engines is a good background read.

24 Pages of Factory Part Numbers

Twenty-four pages. That’s enough to cover the entire 806917 2-stage mast without cramming or omitting. The index pages at the back (page 1 and page 2 of the index) list every part number alphabetically with the section where it appears. Need a part for the rail system? Page 4 starts section 0.00. Looking for hose kit, RH? Section 4.00. The carriage sections (ITA and Shaft type) are separate because they’re different mounting systems – don’t mix them up. The catalog even includes a note about checking the top end of the rail assembly for a stamped part number if your copy is out of date. That’s the kind of detail a real mechanic appreciates.

Get the Right Serial Numbers First

Before you flip a single page, write down the mast model number and serial number from the identification plate. The catalog repeats this warning twice because ordering without those numbers is a waste of everyone’s time. If the mast has been modified – and all modifications must be authorized by Manitou North America – notify the parts department. The cylinder assemblies also have stamped part numbers along the upper barrel; check those too. Keeping accurate records of changes made after manufacture saves you from ordering a part that doesn’t fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog include torque specs or repair procedures?

No. This is a Parts Catalog, not a service manual. It only provides part numbers, descriptions, and illustrations for ordering. Torque values, fluid capacities, and overhaul steps are in the Manitou service repair manual.

How do I find the correct part number for the lift cylinder?

Go to section 1.00. Find the item number on the illustration that points to the component you need (barrel, rod, seals, etc.). Then locate that item number in the table below the illustration. The part number is directly to the right. Cross-reference with the mast serial number – if the cylinder has been replaced before, the serial number on the mast may not match the original cylinder part number. The catalog also advises checking the stamped number on the cylinder barrel itself. If your catalog revision is R08-06 and the mast is newer, call Manitou North America Parts at 800-425-3727 to confirm supersessions.

Can I use this catalog for other Manitou mast models?

Only if the other model shares the same 806917 series designation. This catalog is specific to the 2-stage mast for model 806917. Other models like the MVT or K-series have different part numbers. Use the dedicated catalog for each mast model to avoid mistakes.

What’s the difference between ITA and Shaft type carriage?

ITA (section 6.00) uses a standard hook-mount design that fits most forklift carriages. Shaft type (section 7.00) uses a pin or shaft through the bottom of the carriage – less common but found on certain attachments. The catalog illustrates both with separate part number tables.

That’s it. No filler, no marketing spin. If you need to order parts for a Manitou 806917 2-stage mast, this is the document that gets you the right numbers the first call. I’ve used these catalogs for years, and I don’t touch a mast teardown without one. Access the Factory Manual and keep it on the bench – you’ll thank yourself when the parts truck shows up with exactly what you ordered.
