Sennebogen 870 Technical Manual

I’ve seen more machine breakdowns from skipped inspection intervals than from actual component failure. If you’re running a Sennebogen 870 on a jobsite, you know downtime costs real money. The wrong part or a missed torque spec can turn a morning fix into a week-long headache. That’s why you need the factory Sennebogen 870 Technical Manual – not a PDF from some third-party that scanned a copy of a copy. This is 624 pages of the real deal, straight from Sennebogen Maschinenfabrik GmbH.

624 Pages of Factory Specifications

The manual is split into clear sections. You get the General Information, Inspection Set, Pneumatic Spring Overview, Machine Overview, and the full Replacement Parts Catalogue. The inspection set on page 5 lists every part needed for scheduled maintenance by hour interval – you won’t find that in a generic aftermarket book. The parts list uses the original Sennebogen order numbers, and each part is marked whether it can be ordered (e.g., 070517/1) or not (087364/0). That alone saves hours of phone calls to the dealer.

Get the Right Parts the First Time

Ever ordered a part that looked right in the diagram but turned out to be the wrong revision? This manual shows the component drawing on the left page and the corresponding parts list on the right. Item numbers, order numbers, quantities, and page references to sub-assemblies are all there. If a module is listed, the page reference tells you exactly where to look. The index at the end is sorted two ways: by increasing module number and by increasing order number. That’s two separate look-up methods – one less reason to guess.

Does This Manual Cover the Machine Overview and Inspection Set?

Yes. The Machine Overview on page 3 shows the module sections (e.g., 100-199 for Undercarriage, 500-599 for Equipment). That lets you jump straight to the right section without flipping through 600 pages. The Inspection Set includes the pneumatic spring overview – critical knowledge if you’re dealing with those units. Pneumatic springs store energy; if you don’t have the proper disassembly steps, you risk injury. The manual spells out the inspection intervals and required parts.

Replacement Parts Catalogue: How It’s Organized

Every module gets its own spread: left page has the exploded view, right page has the list. Ident numbers, quantities, and page references for linked modules. When you need a seal or a bearing, the part number is right there. No guesswork. The manual was printed in Germany in 2006, but it’s still current for serial numbers under 870.0.232. If your machine is newer, check the serial number – deviations are noted in the text.

2 Indexes for Quick Part Lookup

Most parts catalogs give you one index. This one gives you two: one sorted by module number (e.g., 100-199 sections) and another sorted by order number. If you have a part in hand and need to find where it goes, you can look up the order number directly. That’s a time-saver when you’ve got a bin of used parts and want to verify fitment.

Look at the other Sennebogen manuals in our collection – the Sennebogen 850 Technical Manual and the Sennebogen 835 Technical Manual – Section: Inspection Set follow the same format. If you need a smaller machine, see the SENNEBOGEN 825 Technical Manual.

When you’re digging into the gearbox, the Manual Transmission section in this manual gives you the factory shimming specs and gear backlash tolerances. The clutch adjustment procedure follows principles outlined in the Manual Transmission chapter – but always cross-check with the specific machine data.

What machines does this manual cover?

The Sennebogen 870 material handler. Check the serial number range: 870.0.232.

Is this the same manual a dealer would use?

Yes. It’s the OEM technical manual, printed by Sennebogen Maschinenfabrik GmbH. No third-party rewriting. Dealers use these exact documents to identify parts and find replacement numbers. The copyright page confirms it’s original.

Does it include torque specifications?

The manual includes all factory torque values for bolts, fittings, and hydraulic connections. Torque specs appear in the relevant module sections – for example, the undercarriage module lists track roller bolt torque. You won’t find generalized values; every fastening is machine-specific. The pneumatic spring section also covers safe pressure limits.

Can I get a refund if the manual doesn’t match my machine?

Contact our support team. We stand behind what we sell, but the manual is designed for the 870 series with the exact serial number listed. If your machine has aftermarket modifications, some parts may differ.
