Manitou K5705, K5797, K5755, K1479 Parts Catalog – 42 Pages OEM

Description

Every time I see a guy holding a printout from some aftermarket parts site, trying to match a hydraulic hose for a Manitou mast, I know he’s about fifteen minutes from making a phone call to the dealer anyway. The dealer’s going to ask for the serial number, and he won’t have it. This 42-page Parts Catalog from K-D Manitou for models K5705, K5797, K5755, and K1479 is what you need on the bench before you order a single part. It’s the original factory document—not a reprint copy—with exploded diagrams and part numbers straight from the manufacturer.

Mast Rail Assemblies: Where the Serial Number Lives

Flip to the Mast Rail Assemblies section starting on page 2. The manual tells you exactly where to find the mast model number: “stamped on the Identification Plate located on the right side of the Outer Rail, at or above eye level.” Without that serial number, you’re ordering blind. The illustrations show each rail assembly with item numbers keyed directly to the parts list. You’ll see the part number, description, and quantity required for each mast model. One rail might look like another, but the stamped part number on the top end of the rail is what you need to match.

Cylinder Assemblies: Primary and Secondary

Pages 6 and 10 cover the Primary Cylinder Assembly and Secondary Cylinder Assembly. Each cylinder has a part number stamped on the upper portion of the barrel—the manual tells you to look there. The diagrams break down the cylinder into every seal, rod, and fitting. If you’re rebuilding a mast, you need this catalog to order the correct seal kit or replacement cylinder. Don’t assume the cylinder from a K5755 will fit a K5705; the part numbers are different. The catalog lists which cylinder goes with which mast model. You’ll also find the Secondary Cylinder Assembly on page 10, and the same rule applies: check the barrel stamp.

Chain Systems: Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary

Chains wear, stretch, and break. The catalog dedicates page 14 to the Primary Chain and page 16 to Chain, Secondary & Tertiary. Each chain is drawn with the correct attachment points and pin sizes. The parts list gives the quantity of chains required per mast model, and the part number for the complete chain assembly. If you’re replacing a lift chain, you need the right length and pitch. Ordering from a generic chart gets you a chain that either binds or slaps. Use the factory diagram to match the chain to your mast model and serial number.

Hydraulic System and Hose Reel Kits

The Hydraulic System section on page 20 covers the hoses, fittings, and routing for the mast. Then there are two Hose Reel Kit sections: 3-Way on page 26 and 4-Way on page 28. The catalog includes hose reel kits specifically for these Manitou mast models. Internal hose kits for K7076 and K7077 are listed in the supplements. If you’re retrofitting a hose reel or replacing hose bundles, this is where you get the exact lengths and part numbers. Don’t trust a tape measure and a guess—use the factory diagram.

Carriage and Supplements: Don’t Overlook the Extras

Page 24 covers the Carriage assembly with face bar stamping locations. The supplements at the back include Mast Decals, Parts Index, and a Mast Operator/Service Manual supplement. That means you get the decal kit part numbers for safety labels, plus a cross-reference index for all part numbers. The operator/service manual supplement might only be a few pages, but it’s critical for understanding assembly order and maintenance intervals.

3 Reasons to Use the Factory Parts Catalog Over Third-Party Data

First, the factory catalog ties every part to the mast serial number. The aftermarket sites sell generic “fits many” parts that never align with the actual stamped numbers. Second, the diagrams are drawn from the original engineering prints. You see the nut orientation, the thread direction, and the exact routing of hoses. Third, this catalog includes the latest internal hose kits and decal updates that aftermarket databases miss. For other Manitou models, check Manitou Mast Parts Catalog for a broader selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this parts catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts identification manual, not a service manual. Torque values are found in the corresponding Mast Operator/Service Manual supplement included with this catalog, but you’ll need the full service manual for detailed assembly procedures.

Is this the same manual the dealer uses?

Yes. K-D Manitou produced this catalog for dealer parts departments. It’s the exact PDF the counterman pulls up when you give him a serial number.

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

Locate the mast model and serial number. Then go to the Primary or Secondary Cylinder Assembly section. Find the illustration and match the item number to the parts list. The stamped part number on the cylinder barrel should match the catalog number.

Can I use this catalog for other Manitou mast models?

This catalog covers only K5705, K5797, K5755, and K1479. For other models, use the related Manitou Mast Parts Catalog or the K-D Manitou MVT 1230L MVT1230LC Parts Catalog – 264 Pages.
