Additional Notes

  • The Manitou Maniloaders AS 60 front differential holds 2 liters of fluid, while the rear differential holds 3 liters, indicating the two axles use housings of different sizes within the same machine.
  • On the AS 60, both the front and rear differentials share a normal-use change interval of 1000 hours, meaning routine operation keeps both axles on the same service schedule.
  • The AS 60 specifies an initial service change at 50 hours for both front and rear differentials. An initial service interval exists to flush out metal particles and contaminants generated during the break-in period of new gear surfaces.
  • The AS 90 front and rear differentials each hold 6.25 liters, a capacity notably larger than either axle on the AS 60, reflecting the heavier-duty drivetrain architecture of the larger model.
  • Front and rear differential capacities on the AS 90 are identical at 6.25 liters, unlike the AS 60 where front and rear capacities differ from each other.
  • The AS 90 normal-use change interval is set at 1500 hours for both differentials, 500 hours longer than the AS 60 normal interval of 1000 hours.
  • The AS 90 initial service change is specified at 500 hours, ten times longer than the 50-hour initial service interval on the AS 60, representing a significant difference in break-in service timing between the two configurations.
