Manitou MT 5519 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered a part for a Manitou MT 5519 telescopic handler and got the wrong one because you guessed at the serial number break, you know the irritation. That’s why this Parts Catalog exists — 166 pages of factory-sourced exploded diagrams, part numbers, and reference tables that leave no room for interpretation. I’ve seen too many guys pull a hydraulic cylinder off, measure it with a tape, then order something that almost fits. That costs you a day and a return shipping label. This manual gives you the exact part number from the factory, including the revision letter.

Before you touch a wrench, understand: this is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It tells you what goes where and what the factory calls it. For torque values, you flip to the Reference section at the back. The O-Ring Tables, Adapter Torque Guide, Metric Bolt Torque Guide, and SAE Bolt Torque Guide are all there. If you are working on the engine, the Cab, Chassis, Engine section shows every fastener and seal. You cannot assemble a hydraulic system without knowing which O-ring profile to use — and this manual has the cross-references.

Manitou MT 5519 Parts Catalog: What This 166-Page Document Covers

This catalog splits the machine into logical assemblies: Cab, Chassis, Engine; Axle, Boom Hydraulics; Hydraulic Cylinders, Attachments; and Decals. Each section contains exploded-view illustrations with callouts that match the part number list. For example, in the Axle and Boom Hydraulics section, you’ll find the complete hydraulic plumbing for the boom lift and tilt circuits. The decoder rings? They are in the Numeric Index and Subject Index. You can look up a number from a worn tag and cross it to the illustration.

One detail I respect: the serial number breaks are clearly marked. The intro (page 4 of the PDF) explains how to read serial number ranges. If your machine is SN 999 and before, some parts differ from SN 1000-2000. This catalog flags those differences. I’ve had techs order a steering cylinder for a later model and then fight the mounting bolts — that doesn’t happen with this guide.

Reference Section: Torque Tables and O-Ring Specifications

The Reference section is where this catalog earns its keep. It contains the Adapter Torque Guide, Metric Bolt Torque Guide, and SAE Bolt Torque Guide. If you are tightening a Grade 8 cap screw into a Manitou component, you need the right ft-lb value. The SAE guide lists torque values for various thread sizes and grades. The Metric guide covers ISO strength ratings. The O-Ring Tables list dash numbers and cross-section dimensions — critical when you are rebuilding a hydraulic cylinder and the old ring is shattered.

I don’t trust aftermarket torque specs on a machine that lifts 5,500 lbs. This catalog came from Manitou Americas, Inc., West Bend, WI. That’s the source you want.

Hydraulic Cylinders and Attachments: Guided Part Identification

The Hydraulic Cylinders and Attachments section breaks down each cylinder — boom lift, tilt, fork positioning — into individual seals, pistons, rods, and glands. Each component has a part number. If you need a seal kit, the parts list tells you exactly which kit to order. The Attachment section covers forks, carriages, and optional equipment. I recommend bookmarking this section if you do cylinder work regularly.

Why the Filter Section Comes First

The Parts Catalog includes a dedicated Filters page (page 4). Engine oil filter, hydraulic return filter, transmission filter — all listed with part numbers. If you are doing a 500-hour service, you need to know the correct filter element. The catalog also includes the decal set for the whole machine. Decals are not just stickers; they are safety warnings and operational labels. The Decals section shows each decal’s location and part number so you can replace faded ones.

Check the Numeric and Subject Indexes Before You Call Parts

The Numeric Index lists every part number in alphabetical/numeric order. The Subject Index groups components by name (e.g., “Boom Cylinder Seal Kit”). If you have a worn tag with a number, check the Numeric Index. If you are browsing for a specific assembly, use the Subject Index. This upfront organization saves you from flipping through 166 pages blind.

Does this manual include torque specifications?

Yes, the Reference section has both Metric and SAE bolt torque guides, plus an adapter torque guide for fittings.

Can I use this to order replacement engine parts?

Engine parts are listed in the Cab, Chassis, Engine section. However, engine internal components (pistons, rings, valves) are covered in a separate Engine Parts Manual PN 917304. This catalog shows the external engine components, mounting brackets, and accessories.

What serial numbers are covered?

The manual covers all MT 5519 units up to the date of publication (catalog 50960027 Rev. B). Serial number breaks are shown in the parts lists, so you can identify pre- and post-update parts.

How do I find a part number from a worn tag?

Use the Numeric Index. It lists every part number in the manual with the page where it appears. If the tag is too worn, measure the part and compare dimensions against the illustrations in the applicable section.

Stop guessing which part fits. Get the factory breakdown for your Manitou MT 5519. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and keep a copy on your tablet or print it for the shop binder. You will use it every time you order parts.
