ments. Most of the procedures are also referred to

PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT perform any maintenance or repair without
the owner’s prior authorization. Allow only trained
personnel to service the machine.
Warranty repairs can only be done by an authorized
Manitou Americas dealer. Dealers know what portions
of the machine are covered under the terms of the
Manitou Americas Warranty and what portions are
covered by other vendor warranties.
When a problem occurs, do not overlook simple caus-
es such as an empty fuel tank. Check for leaks and bro-
ken connections. Make note of any specific symptoms,
noises, etc. and contact your local Manitou Americas
dealer.
IMPORTANT:
Always dispose of waste lubricating
oils, anti-freeze and hydraulic fluids according to
local regulations or take them to a recycling cen-
ter for disposal. DO NOT pour them onto the
ground or into a drain.
DEALER SERVICES
The following areas of internal components service
replacement and operating adjustments should only be
by (or under the direction of) an authorized Manitou
Americas Telescopic Handler dealer.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT service or repair major
components, unless authorized to do so by your
Manitou Americas dealer. Any unauthorized repair
will void the warranty.
POWER TRAIN COMPONENTS
The engine and transmission are coupled directly to
each other. All service routines related to the internal
components are precise and critical to proper power
train operation. The axle differential and planetary
ends are also sophisticated assemblies that require spe-
cial know-how and tools for servicing.
IMPORTANT:
If any powertrain components are
suspected of faulty operation, contact your
Manitou Americas dealer for assistance.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Valves, pumps, motors and cylinders are also sophisti-
cated assemblies which require special know-how and
tools for servicing. All cylinders are appropriately
designed with particular strokes, diameters, checks and
hose connection provisions unique to the machine
application requirements. A schematic (Maintenance
chapter) can be used as a guide for service reference, as
required.
