Manitou CG 18 P, CD 20 P, CG 20 P, CD 25 P, CG 25 P 2005 Parts Catalog

Nothing burns my biscuit faster than a guy who orders a part from a generic aftermarket catalog, gets something that almost fits, then blames the machine. If you are maintaining any of these Manitou industrial lift trucks—CG 18 P, CD 20 P, CG 20 P, CD 25 P, CG 25 P—you need the genuine Parts Catalog from 2005. This is not a reprint, not a third-party compilation. It is the factory-issued Parts Catalogue, 1511 pages thick, with every nut, seal, and filter spelled out by OEM number. No guessing. No wasted hours hunting for the correct air filter cartridge because the parts counter guy handed you the wrong one.

Filters and Belts: The Parts You Burn Through Most

Flip to page 2 of this Parts Catalog and you will find the Filtres et Courroies section—Filters and Belts. It lays out the air filter cartridge (part number referenced for 4LE1/4JG2 engines), oil filter for engine and transmission, fuel filter, fan belt, and the hydraulic return oil filter. You also get the principal circuit strainer and a repair kit for the decompressor valve. Every one of these is a wear item that needs replacement on a schedule. If you use the wrong fan belt tension, you throw the alternator bearings. If you put the wrong transmission oil filter in a CD 20 P, you risk starvation to the torque converter. This catalog gives you the correct part numbers so you don’t guess.

Engine Subassemblies and Service Kits

Beyond filters, this Parts Catalog covers complete engine assemblies, cooling system components, fuel injection parts, and service kits. For example, the repair kit (pochette de réparation) for the decompressor valve is listed. When you rebuild a hydrostatic drive or a Perkins-derived power unit, having the OEM kit number saves you the headache of buying individual seals that may or may not match. The catalog also includes hydraulic pump sections, steering gear breakdowns, and axle components. Because the manual is organized by function—power train, hydraulics, electrical, frame—you can find the exact assembly you are working on without flipping through a hundred pages.

Catalogue Updates and Revision History

Look at the front matter on page 1. The 2005 edition carries IC 459 as the original publication, then three updates: IC 527 (01/2008), IC 535 (03/2008), and IC 569 (03/2009). This means the catalog was revised at the factory to incorporate engineering changes, superseded part numbers, and new component variants. A reprint from a third party will not include these updates. If you are ordering a part for a 2005 CG 18 P that had a later service bulletin, you need the updated catalog. This one has it.

Why OEM Part Numbers Matter More Than You Think

I have seen aftermarket catalogs claim a certain fuel filter fits a CG 25 P, but the thread pitch is off by half a millimeter. That is a leak waiting to happen. A leak on a diesel fuel system means air ingestion, hard starting, and potential injector damage. This manual publishes the genuine Manitou part numbers, not a cross-reference from a parts store software. When you order the part using the number from this catalog, it matches the truck that left the factory in Ancénis, France. No translation errors. No “equivalent” that came from a different supply chain.

Who Needs This Catalog

If you are a shop owner maintaining a fleet of Manitou telehandlers or rough-terrain forklifts, you already know the cost of downtime. A parts catalog like this lets your parts guy pull the number in minutes instead of calling the dealer. If you are a DIY mechanic working on a single CG 20 P you bought at auction, this is the difference between ordering the correct starter motor on the first try and having the truck sit for a week while you wait for the return. The catalog also covers the CD 15 P, CG 15 P, CD 30 P, CG 30 P, CD 35 P, and CG 35 P models from the same era, so if your shop runs mixed chassis, you get more than just the five models in the title. For related material, see the Manitou CD/CG Series Parts Catalog for older variants, or the K-D Manitou MVT 1230L/LC Parts Catalog for other Manitou lines. Also check the K-D MANITOU Parts Catalog R109 (1991) if you work on the earlier generation.

How to Use This Parts Catalog Effectively

Start with the model plate on your truck—locate the serial number and type code. Then find the corresponding section in the catalog. Each exploded view lists the part number, description, quantity per assembly, and any supersession notes. If you are doing a full engine overhaul on a CG 18 P, use this catalog alongside the service repair manual. The service manual gives you torque specs and procedures; this catalog gives you the parts to order. this Wikipedia article on diesel engines provides background on the Isuzu 4LE1 and 4JG2 engines used in some of these models, but for ordering seals and gaskets you need the factory listing. For a deeper technical dive, this Wikipedia article on diesel engines explains the combustion cycle, but it won’t tell you the part number for the cylinder head gasket. This catalog will.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog cover the CD 30 P and CG 30 P models?

Yes. The 2005 Parts Catalog includes the CD 30 P, CG 30 P, CD 35 P, and CG 35 P in addition to the five models in the title.

What if I need a part number that is listed as obsolete or superseded?

The catalog includes revision updates from 2008 and 2009 that show superseded numbers. After 2009, some parts may have been discontinued. In that case, contact Manitou with the OEM number from this catalog to get the current alternative. You avoid ordering a stale part that no longer exists.

Are wiring diagrams included in this Parts Catalog?

No. This is strictly a parts catalog (exploded views, part numbers, quantities). You need the separate service repair manual for wiring diagrams, diagnostic procedures, and torque specifications.

How many pages does the manual have?

1511 pages of genuine Manitou parts listings, including index and revision updates.
