Manitou M230H, 75″ HYDROHAWK Parts Catalog

Tired of ordering a part that shows up wrong because the catalog number didn’t match your serial number? That’s exactly why you need the actual Manitou M230H, 75″ HYDROHAWK Parts Catalog – not some third-party list that omits the revision letters. This is the factory file, 118 pages, straight from Manitou North America. It covers the trucks built in Waco, Texas, with serial numbers M230H0480 through M230H0527, plus M230H7251 and 165113 and above. If your machine falls in those ranges, you get the exact OEM part numbers the dealer uses. No guesswork.

Identify Your Truck by Serial Number

Page 2 breaks down the model code: M2=front wheel drive, 30=6,000 lb lift capacity, P=Perkins engine, H=hydrostatic transmission. The 75″ HYDROHAWK refers to the poultry super-low cab (PSL). The manual also tells you where to find every identification plate – the manufacturer’s serial number (above right rear tire on the frame), the engine plate, the Hurth drive axle plate, pump, motor, transfer gearbox, and mast. You won’t be hunting for numbers. They’re all mapped out on page 3.

Does This Manual Cover the Perkins Engine?

Yes. The M230H with a Perkins diesel is the P-variant. The parts catalog includes that engine identification plate location and the related part numbers. If you’re working on a Caterpillar engine truck (C-code), you need a different catalog – this one is specifically for the Perkins. For background on the diesel cycle, check this Wikipedia article on diesel engines. The manual itself doesn’t teach thermodynamics, but it gives you the exact fuel filter, oil filter, and injector part numbers you need to keep that engine running.

PARTS INDEX: Find Any Component in Seconds

The PARTS INDEX section (it opens the manual) lists every major assembly alphabetically or by function. You flip to the relevant illustration page, find the item number, then look up the part number, description, quantity, and which truck models it fits. No flipping through 300 pages of generic diagrams. It’s straight to the point – exactly one page per group. Also note the GENERAL INFORMATION section on page 4: it explains the “left/right/front/rear” convention from the operator’s seated position. That keeps you from flipping a mirror bracket or ordering a left-side cylinder when you needed right. You can also reference this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for general knowledge, but stick to the catalog for parts numbers.

Filters and Routine Maintenance Parts

The FILTERS section lists the OEM oil filter, fuel filter, hydraulic filter, and air filter part numbers. No cross-referencing aftermarket brands – you get the Manitou proprietary numbers. If you order from a dealer, give them those numbers. They match exactly. That alone saves a return trip. The catalog also includes the Hurth drive axle and hydrostatic motor identification plates so you can order seals, bearings, and hydraulic motors without pulling the whole unit apart first.

Original OEM Print vs. Aftermarket Copies

This is a factory-sourced PDF directly from Manitoba’s database (catalog B428, revision R01-01). Aftermarket parts catalogs often re-draw illustrations and drop dimension callouts. This one keeps the original line drawings with dimensions in inches and pounds. You’ll see the exact bolt sizes, thread pitches, and torque specs? Actually, torque values are not in this parts catalog – that’s a service manual function. But if you need the bolt itself, the catalog gives you grade and length. Pair it with a service manual and you’ve got the full picture.

Does this manual include torque specifications for the hydrostatic motor?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers and quantities. For torque specs, you need the corresponding Manitou service/repair manual.

How do I know if my truck is covered by this manual?

Check your manufacturer’s serial number plate (inside the cab, near the right rear tire on the frame). This catalog covers serial numbers M230H0480 through M230H0527, plus M230H7251 and 165113 and above. If your serial number falls outside those ranges, contact Manitou for the correct edition. The manual explicitly states that it is subject to change without notice, so verify before ordering. Also confirm that your engine is a Perkins (P-code) – if you have a Caterpillar engine, you need a different catalog. The model code on page 2 explains all the suffixes: hydrostatic transmission (H), super-low cab 75″ (PSL), etc. Match yours exactly before buying parts.
