Maximum performance and durability Manitou Filtration

Using aftermarket or adaptable filters can lead to fluid contamination, premature component failure, and costly downtime. Genuine Manitou Group Parts filters provide the ideal barrier against contamination because they are:

• Rigorously Tested & Certified: Validated by Manitou engineers to ensure compatibility with your specific machine's fluids and systems.
• Perfectly Sized: Built to exact factory dimensions to prevent bypass leaks and meet official Manitou maintenance intervals.
• Premium Material Quality: Constructed with high-precision filter media to maximize contaminant retention without restricting essential fluid flow.

Manitou Group Parts oil filters are equipped with a bypass valve to ensure proper engine lubrication. It opens when the oil is too thick or the filter is clogged. The opening pressure of this valve must be precise. If it does not open properly, unfiltered oil will flow into the lubrication system and cause the filter to burst and the oil to leak. 

Manitou Group Parts offers a complete range of filtration solutions designed for the toughest construction, agriculture, and industrial working conditions.

• Air Filters: Protect vital engine parts from premature wear caused by environmental dust, sand, and dirt.
• Hydraulic Filters: Safeguard your machine’s hydraulic circuit and pump by capturing micro-particles and impurities generated during heavy operation.
• Cabin Filters: Ensure operator comfort, safety, and air quality by filtering out dust, pollen, and airborne particles before they enter the cab.
• Oil Filters: Remove harmful impurities from engine oil, preventing the sludge and particle build-up that destroys mechanical parts.
• Fuel Filters: Defend your engine's fuel injectors and injection pump against water and micro-particles found in diesel fuel.

To simplify regular maintenance for machines, Manitou offers all-in-one Filter Kits. These kits contain every filter required for a complete manufacturer-recommended service overhaul.

Available Service Intervals: Depending on your machine model, kits are available for 250-hour, 500-hour, 1000-hour, and 2000-hour service intervals.

What is Included in a Manitou Filter Kit? (Note: Exact composition varies by machine model, serial number and part number)

• Engine and cab air filters
• Engine, hydraulic, and transmission oil filters
• Fuel and diesel filters

Benefits of Using Manitou Filter Kits:

1. Longer Service Life: Prevents avoidable breakdowns and extends the life of internal components.
2. Preserved Productivity: Reduces the risk of unplanned downtime, keeping your machine on the job.
3. Reduced Lifetime Costs: Prevents early component failure and maximizes the resale value of your equipment.

How often should I change the filters on my Manitou machine? Filters (oil, air, cabin, and fuel) should be replaced strictly according to the service intervals outlined in your Manitou operator's manual. Maintenance is generally based on operating hours, with standard replacement intervals at 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 hours.

What is the difference between a Genuine Manitou filter and an aftermarket (adaptable) filter? A Genuine Manitou Group Parts filter is the only filter guaranteed and tested by the manufacturer. It ensures system compatibility, optimum filtration efficiency, and durability that lasts between your recommended oil change intervals. Aftermarket filters are not recommended by OEM and can leave equipment vulnerable to wear and tear.

Can I use a non-Manitou filter if I am using genuine Manitou oil? Using a non-certified filter can compromise your machine. Aftermarket filters often use lower-quality filter material that allow contaminants to pass through. We strongly recommend using only Genuine Manitou Group Parts filters to ensure your engine block and hydraulic systems are fully protected.
