Manitou MVT 1340 L, MVT 1330 L Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Breakdown

If you’ve ever ordered the wrong brake disc because some third-party website listed a part number that didn’t match your serial number, you know exactly why this catalog matters. Manitou MVT 1340 L, MVT 1330 L Parts Catalog is the factory-issued document from Manitou North America – not a copy, not a scan of a scan, but an original OEM parts breakdown. 354 pages of exploded views, part numbers, and serial number ranges. No interpretation, no guessing. You match your machine’s serial number to the correct section, and you order the right part the first time.

I’ve been turning wrenches since before some of you were born, and the difference between a factory parts catalog and an aftermarket list is the difference between a caliper bolt torqued to spec and one that strips halfway down. This catalog gives you the exploded diagram for every assembly – from the Brake circuits I and II (pages listed per serial number) to the boom, cylinders, and engine components. You see exactly how each part fits, and you see the part number printed right next to it.

What This Parts Catalog Actually Covers

Flip to the alphabetical contents and you’ll find sections for Brake Circuit I (S/N: As Noted) – 180 and Brake Circuit II – 180A. That means brake discs, front axle (section 480), and the hydraulic circuits that feed them. Every cylinder assembly – lifting, tilting, telescoping, oscillating – is broken out by serial number range. The boom assembly splits at S/N 6902-127747 and below versus S/N 7788-141775 and above. That’s the level of detail you get. If your machine falls between those ranges, you need to contact the dealer for clarification – the manual tells you that too.

Also covered: the entire fuel system – low pressure, injection pump, filters, and misc. Engine sections from cylinder block (600) through cylinder head (620), timing gear and camshaft (640), oil pump (650), flywheel (670), water pump (750), alternator (770), and more. Electrical systems are split into three sections each for battery/lights and instruments/switches, depending on your serial number. Cab assembly, decals, counterweight, drive shaft – it’s all in here.

The Manitou MVT 1340 L, MVT 1330 L Parts Catalog Breakdown

This isn’t a repair manual. It’s a parts catalog. You use it to identify the exact part number for ordering. Each section has an exploded diagram with callouts. The corresponding part numbers, descriptions, and quantities are listed in a table. The front matter includes a pictorial index (thumbnails of every assembly) and a parts index (numerical list of all part numbers). Need a quick cross-reference? The alphabetical index lets you find a section by name – for example, “Cylinder Assembly, Lifting I” gets you to page 190.

One thing that pisses me off about aftermarket parts lists: they ignore serial number splits. This catalog explicitly marks every section with “S/N: As Noted” or specific ranges. If you have an MVT 1330 L with serial 154426 and above, or an MVT 1340 L with serial 130261 and above, you’re covered. But there’s a notice on page 1: tires, wheels, and decals for the MVT 1330 L are not yet included in this manual – contact the parts department. Honest documentation beats a generic list every time.

3 Critical Sections for the Diesel Engine

If you’re rebuilding a diesel engine on these forklifts, you need three sections from this catalog: Engine, Cylinder Head – 620 (shows the head gasket set, valves, springs, rocker shaft assembly – section 630), Engine, Crankshaft and Connecting Rods – 610, and Fuel Injection Pump – 660. The fuel injection pump section is vital because those parts are expensive and often mismatched. You’ll see the pump assembly with its mounting hardware, drive gear, and lines. Cross-reference with the this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for a basic understanding of injection pump function, but use the catalog for the part numbers.

Another overlooked section: Brake Discs, Front Axle – 480. If you’re getting brake fade or uneven wear, pull that section. It shows the disc, hub, and caliper mounting. You can order the correct disc thickness for your axle – there’s no guessing because the part number is right there.

How to Use the Pictorial Index and Parts Index

Don’t skip the indexes. Start with the pictorial index – it’s a grid of small pictures of every assembly. Find the picture that matches what you’re working on – say, the accelerator assembly (page 180). Note the page number. Flip to that page. The exploded diagram shows each part with a reference number. Find the corresponding row in the parts table for the part number. If you have a part number but need to know which assembly it belongs to, use the numerical parts index in the appendix. That’s faster than flipping through 354 pages.

For example, need a brake circuit part? Look up “Brake” in the alphabetical index, find the page for your serial number range. The manual lists two brake circuit sections: I and II. If your machine’s serial falls under “As Noted”, you need the dealer’s serial number breakout – the manual explains that in the notice. Pay attention to those notes.

Aftermarket Manuals vs. Factory Parts Catalogs

I’ve seen aftermarket manuals that claim to cover both MVT 1330 L and MVT 1340 L but give you generic diagrams with no serial number differentiation. That’s how you end up with a lifting cylinder that doesn’t match your mounting bracket. This factory catalog from Manitou North America, 6401 Imperial Drive, Waco, TX, is the source document. It’s what the dealer uses when you call the parts department. Don’t trust anything else.

Compare it to the Manitou MVT 1130 L MVT 1340 L 1995 Repair Manual if you need service procedures, or the Manitou MVT 1340 L, MVT 1330 L Operators Manual – Factory OEM for daily operation. For another model in the same family, check the K-D Manitou MVT 1230L/LC Parts Catalog. But for parts identification on these two specific models, this is the one.

One last hint: this Wikipedia article on diesel engines explains the four-stroke cycle, but your Manitou’s engine might have specific glow plug or cold start components – see section 840 for engine cold start parts.

Does this catalog include parts for the MVT 1330 L tires and wheels?

No. Page 1 notice states tires, wheels, and decals are not yet included for the MVT 1330 L. Contact Manitou parts department.

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

Go to the alphabetical contents. Locate the cylinder assembly you need – there are multiple versions for lifting, tilting, telescoping, etc., each with a serial number range. Find the section matching your machine’s serial number (e.g., Cylinder Assembly, Lifting I for S/N as noted). The exploded diagram on that page will show the exact cylinder and seals. Write down the part number from the table, then verify with the numerical index to ensure it’s the current revision. If your serial number is not listed, contact Manitou – the manual tells you to do that.

That’s the difference between a catalog and a guess. 354 pages, factory-issued, serial-number-specific. You can’t afford to order the wrong part – downtime costs more than the manual. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and put it on your tablet or print out the section you need. Keep it in the toolbox. Your parts guy will thank you.
