Service jobs and parts

Engine oil, filter, fuel filter and air filters (500-hour service)

Engine · every 500 hours

No MLT 626 handbook was found. This interval comes only from a specialist's 500-hour filter kit, so treat it as a guide and check your handbook. That kit holds the engine oil filter, fuel filter and outer and inner air filters. The engine oil grade and capacity were not found.

Part	Qty	Notes	Part number
Engine oil	1	check your handbook	check your handbook
500-hour filter kit (oil, fuel, outer and inner air filters), Turbo from serial 95864	1	Aftermarket: Greenred Spares. No genuine Manitou number found; check your handbook	K113010/500

Step-by-step

Park on firm level ground. Lower the boom fully and retract it, put the attachment flat on the ground, put the parking brake on, stop the engine and take the key out.
Let hot oil cool until it is warm, not scalding. Wear gloves and wash used oil off your skin promptly.
Drain the engine oil, change the oil filter (oil the new seal, fit by hand) and refill to the dipstick mark.
Change the fuel filter, then bleed the fuel system as the handbook shows.
Change the outer air filter element, and the inner one if your handbook says so. Do not let dust fall into the intake.
Run the engine, check for leaks and recheck the oil level.

Tools: Drain tray, Filter wrench, Spanners, Gloves, Rags

Hydraulic filters and tank breather (1000-hour service)

Hydraulics · every 1,000 hours

No MLT 626 handbook was found. This interval comes only from a specialist's 1000-hour filter kit, so treat it as a guide and check your handbook. That kit adds a hydraulic tank breather and three hydraulic filters. The hydraulic oil change interval was not found; if you change the oil, change these filters with it.

1000-hour filter kit (adds hydraulic breather and three hydraulic filters), Turbo from serial 95864	1	Aftermarket: Greenred Spares. Order the 1000-hour option of this kit listing. No genuine Manitou number found; check your handbook	K113010/500
Hydraulic oil (if changing)	1	check your handbook	check your handbook

Step-by-step

Park on firm level ground. Lower the boom fully and retract it, put the attachment flat on the ground, put the parking brake on, stop the engine and take the key out.
With the engine off and the key at the on position (or as your handbook says), work the boom and attachment controls a few times to let out trapped hydraulic pressure. Oil at system pressure can pierce skin.
Never work under a raised boom or attachment unless it is held up with a proper safety prop. The hydraulics alone are not safe to work under.
Clean round each filter housing before opening it.
Change each hydraulic filter and the tank breather, fitting new seals.
Start the engine, check for leaks, lower and retract the boom and check the tank level.

Tools: Spanners, Drain tray, Lint-free rags, Gloves

Known problems

No handbook data found

Capacities, oil grades and most intervals for the MLT 626 could not be sourced. Get the operator's manual for your serial number from a Manitou dealer before servicing.

Filters change with serial number

Specialists sell different filter kits for machines up to serial 95863 and from 95864, so check the serial plate before ordering.

Boom safety

As on any telehandler, never work under a raised boom without a safety prop, and release hydraulic pressure before opening any hydraulic line.

Repair guides

MLT 626: find your serial and handbook before any repair (Easy, 30 minutes): No handbook with the machine, filters don't fit, unsure of oil grades or capacities, about to work on the boom or hydraulics.

The full step-by-step guides are in Farmyard Workshop once you add your telehandler.
