MAN KAT US owners?

[Robo McDuff]

Correct

Square orange shield: danger.
30: flammable liquid.
1202 fuel oil or diesel oil: you have time to run away before it explodes.

Tracer, according to the orange plates it seems like your truck was used for hazardous goods. View attachment 770850 View attachment 770851 View attachment 770852

I think your right. The plates on the front look identical but the rear one on my truck is missing. I wonder if transporting Haz-Mat has anything to do with the Orange Logo on the doors. Under the bottom of the logo it has what looks like the letters NBCRS. Does that ring a bell?

 

[Robo McDuff]

To me, the logo looks like an angry fox, with an X to the right and something illegible to the left.

Quick search on fox and nbcrs show that "the Fox NBCRS carrier was originally developed for the German Army" .

Next search:

M93/M93A1 Fox Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Reconnaissance System (NBCRS).


The M93 is an armored reconnaissance carrier; not a MAN cargo truck, but probably they were in the same unit.

Of course transporting Haz-Mat is the reason for the plate. There is a book I have at my recycling yard, that is 3 inches thick. Its all about Haz-Mat here, and what numbers should be displayed on the plate, to let rescue and the Fire Department know what is in the vehicle. There seems to only be about 2 million different numbers to be displayed. Could be for fuel, or any and all chemicals, gases, liquids and the list goes on for ever.

Absolutely understandable.

If you are a First-Responder, you sure want to know.

Robo, I think the illegible letter to the left is an F with the Fox poking his head through the O, and with the right letter being an X. (FOX)
I really appreciate all the details large and small that the 3 of you have been able to add to this project. + Ahab's popcorn. When it's finished, there will not be just a Military Truck to admire, but a story to be told as well. Every time I think I know what there is to know about this truck something new and interesting pops up. This deserves a toast with some of Guyfangs Schnapps!!

Here is mud in your eye!

 

[Tracer]

Guy, coming back at ya. Not to many people south of the US/Canadian border know much about Yukon Jack Perma Frost Schnapps. It's pretty good stuff. It's big in Canada during Hockey Season.

You put the MG ring on it!

Yes, but still no machine gun.

Yes, but still no machine gun.

Hi guys, I know I'm late in joining this thread but seen as how it's not closed I will try. I am working for a transport and logistics company in the Central African Republic. We are using MAN Kat 1 (4x4, 6x6 and 8x8 trucks. We operate 84 units alongside some new Kamaz 8x8s. I'm looking to see if anyone can send me a link for any or all of the following in English language: driver manual, parts manual and workshop/service manual. These are all KAT 1. The vehicle data plates show that they were manufactured in 1977 and 1978.
Cheers

Thats why the Fire Dept allows cops to hang around. You've heard of the canary in the coalmine? The cop at the hazmat incident.

Can’t seem to find the information I need on my M1014 on the -20 TM. I need to add hydraulic fluid to the cab/wheel reservoir, since the lower part of the cab lift cylinder leaked it all out. Can some one tell me correct fill location. Is what I marked in the photo correct. Both my master cylinders are broken like eggs As well. Got a lot of work ahead of me on repairs for this rig, just want to start off right. Need to get that cab lifted so I can take a look at the engine.

Reed423, Migginsbros is who you want to contact on MAN trucks. Chris has a beautiful example.

 

[Migginsbros]

Yes, lowered cab, valve 3 in direktion down. Fill to the lower edge of the filler hole 2. Means nearly full.




These pics are from the owners manual of a MAN F2000 but the function is the same.
