Manitou MLT 845 2011 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Specs

If you’ve ever stared at a pile of filters and wondered which one goes where on a Manitou MLT 845 2011 Parts Catalog, you know the cost of guessing wrong. A mismatched fuel filter can starve the injection pump. A transmission filter with the wrong bypass setting? That’s a rebuild waiting to happen. I’ve been wrenching since before most of you were born, and I still reach for the factory parts book when I want to be sure. This 224-page catalog from Manitou gives you the exact OEM part numbers, exploded diagrams, and cross-reference data for the MLT 845-120 S5 E3. No fluff, no third-party reprints – just the Italian, French, English, German, and Spanish original from 2011.

What You Get on Page 3: Filters, Belts, and Plugs

Page 3 alone is worth the price of admission for any mechanic who’s tired of digging through generic parts books. The index lists every serviceable filter and belt the MLT 845 uses: engine oil filter, air filter cartridge, transmission oil filter, fuel filter cartridge, hydraulic oil filter cartridge (exhaust side), engine belt, delivery filter cartridge, oil tank plug, air filter safety cartridge, cyclonic pre-filter, fuel pre-filter cartridge, the “LSU” filter, and a second fuel filter cartridge. Each item has the factory part number printed beside it. You’re not hunting through aftermarket catalogs that might have superseded numbers or wrong fits – these are the numbers Manitou stamped into the engineering drawings.

Engine Oil Filter Part Number – Why You Need the Catalog

Back in ’09 I had a customer bring in an MLT 845 with low oil pressure. The local parts house sold him a filter that looked identical but had a different internal bypass spring. That mistake cost him $1,200 in main bearing damage. This catalog lists the exact Filtro olio motore part number on page 3. Pair it with the repair manual for torque specs and procedure – we sell Manitou MLT 845 MLX 845 Repair Manual – Factory OEM Specs if you need the full service side.

Transmission Oil Filter – Don’t Guess the Number

The MLT 845 uses a dedicated transmission oil filter (Filtro olio trasmissione on page 3). That filter has a specific micron rating and thread pitch. Using a generic “equivalent” can cause valve-body issues and slippage. This catalog gives you the OEM number so you can order the right part from your dealer or cross-reference it yourself. If you’re maintaining a fleet, keep this PDF open on your tablet next to the parts shelf – it’ll stop you from grabbing the wrong box.

Fuel System Components – Pre-Filters and Cartridges

The index shows Cartuccia filtro combustibile (fuel filter cartridge), Cartuccia pre-filtro combustibile (fuel pre-filter cartridge), and the FILTRO “LSU”. The pre-filter catches water and big particles before the main filter. On an MLT 845, the fuel system is sensitive to restriction – the common-rail injection pump can’t tolerate air or debris. Refer to this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for background on why fuel cleanliness matters. The catalog also covers the oil tank plug and fuel tank plug, so you can order gaskets and caps without guessing.

3 Reasons to Choose OEM Documentation

Reason 1: Part numbers are verified against the original 2011 production run. Aftermarket catalogs often consolidate multiple years, leading to mismatched numbers.
Reason 2: Exploded diagrams show the exact order of assembly. You can see how the cyclonic pre-filter stacks onto the air filter housing.
Reason 3: The catalog includes multi-language support – if you work with a Spanish-speaking crew or need to communicate with a French parts supplier, the terminology is right there.

Audience Fit: Who Needs This 224-Page Document?

Home-garage enthusiasts who change their own filters and fluids on a telehandler will save a lot of headache. Professional mechanics running a multi-bay shop like mine? This goes in the binder next to the shop computer. Fleet managers – you can hand a PDF to your parts guy and say “find these numbers.” Beginners who are afraid of ordering the wrong part can use the diagrams as a visual guide. The catalog covers the Engine, Transmission, Fuel, hydraulic, and air systems. It does not include torque specs or repair procedures – that’s what the repair manual is for. Check out the Manitou MLT 845 MLT 940 2003 Parts Catalog – 976 Pages OEM if you need coverage for a slightly older chassis. For compact telehandler owners, we also have K-D Manitou MVT 1230L MVT1230LC Parts Catalog – 264 Pages.

Source Validity: OEM Print, Not Aftermarket Compilation

This is a direct scan of the factory publication from Manitou’s Castelfranco Emilia facility, dated 09/09/2011, with the reference number 648616. Every page is a faithful reproduction of the original parts catalog. No part numbers have been altered or combined across model years. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been bitten by a “universal” part book that claimed to cover ten machines but missed the third revision of a hydraulic pump. Stick with the factory source.

FAQ

Does this manual include repair instructions?

No. This is a parts catalog – part numbers and diagrams only. You’ll need a separate service manual for torque specs and procedures.

How do I find the correct part number for my MLT 845?

Start on page 3 with the index. Look up the component you need – say, “Cartuccia filtro aria” (air filter cartridge). The catalog gives you the factory part number, which you can then order from Manitou or cross-reference online. If the exploded view doesn’t match your machine’s serial number, check the revision notes in the front of the book. The PDF is searchable, so you can also type keywords like “fuel filter” to jump straight to the right page.

Are part numbers compatible across years like 2011 vs 2013?

Not necessarily. Manitou changes part numbers when they revise components. This catalog covers the 2011 model year (MLT 845-120 S5 E3). Using a later year’s catalog might give you superseded numbers, but you should verify with the dealer or compare physical parts.

What languages are in the catalog?

Italian, English, French, German, and Spanish. Each part entry is listed in all five languages on the same line.

I’ve been down the road of using aftermarket parts lists, and it always ends with a trip back to the dealer to return the wrong part. Save yourself the time and the risk. Access the Factory Manual and get the right numbers the first time.
