What You Get in This Parts Catalog

This is not a repair manual. It is a parts catalog — exploded-view drawings with item numbers, part numbers, descriptions, and quantities for each mast model. The table of contents lists: MAST RAIL ASSEMBLIES (page 2), LIFT CYLINDER ASSEMBLY (page 4), CHAIN ASSEMBLY (page 6), CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY (K4398 & K4399) on page 8, ROTATOR CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY (K4389, K4390 & K4391) on page 10, ROTATOR CYLINDER ASSEMBLY (K4389, K4390 & K4391) on page 14, HOSE KIT ASSEMBLY (K4374–1 & K4374–2) on page 16, HOSE REEL ASSEMBLY (K4374–1 & K4374–2) on page 18, and more. Every assembly includes the cylinder, seals, bearings, hoses, and mounting hardware specific to that model.

Need the lift cylinder parts? Page 4 gives you the full breakdown with item callouts. Mast rail assembly exploded view on page 2 shows the inner, intermediate, and outer rails with all rollers and stops. The catalog also covers rotator carriage assemblies for models K4368 and K4369, including the rotator cylinder assembly — critical for your **Cylinder** rebuild or replacement.

Mast Rail Assembly Breakdown

Page 2 of this catalog walks you through the mast rail assembly for the K5705, K5797, K5755, and K1479. Each rail, each shim, each bolt is identified by item number. You match the item number to the list that follows the illustration. The part number sits directly to the right. Do not order a part without verifying your mast serial number. The catalog states clearly: the mast model number is stamped on the identification plate located on the right side of the outer rail, at or above eye level. Record it before you touch anything.

If you work on multiple mast models, check the Manitou Mast Components Parts Catalog and the K-D Manitou MVT 1230L MVT1230LC Parts Catalog – 264 Pages for broader coverage.

3 Reasons to Choose OEM Documentation

Aftermarket parts catalogs often redraw the illustrations, miss subtle differences in carriage or cylinder configurations, and list generic part numbers that may not fit. This catalog is a direct scan of the original K-D Manitou document R274, dated R/05-2000. Every part number, every quantity, every model compatibility is factory-verified. When you call the dealer at 1-800-425-3727 (as listed in the catalog), you can read them the exact part number from this book. No confusion.

Who Needs This Catalog?

Fleet mechanics maintaining Manitou telehandlers or forklifts. Shop owners who see these masts come through the door. DIY owners of older Manitou equipment who want to source original parts instead of rigging something that fails. If you are rebuilding a lift cylinder, replacing a chain, or repairing a rotator carriage, you need the factory drawing to order the correct seal kit, bushing, or hose assembly. This catalog covers the K5705, K5797, K5755, and K1479 mast models — commonly found on telehandlers from the 1998–2003 period.

How to Order Parts Correctly

Turn to the general information section on page 1 of the catalog. It tells you everything required: mast model number, mast serial number, and optionally the model numbers for rails, carriage, mounting, and optional equipment. Record those numbers now. Then find the illustration for the assembly you need. Write down the item number, part number, and quantity. When you call K-D Manitou or your local dealer, you will get the right part the first time. This catalog also includes a PARTS INDEX supplement at the end — alphabetical or numerical lookup to find any part number quickly.

Does this catalog include torque specifications for cylinder installation?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It shows part numbers and quantities, not assembly torque values. For torque specs, you need the corresponding service manual for your specific Manitou model.

Can I use this catalog for the K4368 or K4369 mast models?

Yes, partially. This catalog covers rotator carriage and rotator cylinder assemblies for K4368 and K4369 on pages 24, 28. However, the mast rail sections are specific to K5705, K5797, K5755, and K1479. Verify your mast model before ordering.

What if my serial number doesn’t match any model listed?

Call K-D Manitou Parts Division at the number printed in the catalog (1-800-425-3727). Have your full serial number ready. They may need to look up a superseded or modified mast. This catalog includes a note that all mast modifications must be authorized by K-D Manitou.

Why is the serial number so important?

Because K-D Manitou changed components over production runs. A cylinder seal kit from the 1999 K5705 may not fit a 2001 update. The serial number lets the dealer cross-reference the exact build configuration. Without it, you risk ordering a part that does not fit — and then you own it.

You want the right part the first time. Stop using blurry copies and incorrect part numbers. Get the factory source. Manitou Mast Parts Catalog is a related catalog if you need more mast components. Access the Factory Manual.
