Page 760 8-78 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY Towing Vehicles with ZF9S1110 Model Transmission On ZF9S1110 transmission vehicles, select high range and place the gearshift lever in the "N" position. For the towing speed, refer to following chart. Do not tow more than 100 km (62 miles).
Page 761 8-79 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY Towing Vehicles with ZF6S1000 Model Transmission CAUTION • Tow a vehicle in conformity with the relevant legal requirements of your area. • When the towing distance is up to 100 km (62 miles): - Put the transmission in neutral. - Limit the maximum towing speed to 60 km/h (37 MPH).
Page 762 8-80 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY Towing Vehicles with FSO5206B/ES11109/FS8209A Model Transmissions Towing Cut off the drive force from the rear axle to the transmission. If the vehicle is towed without cutting off the drive force, insufficient lubrication will occur inside the transmission and will result in damage such as mechanical seizure due to friction.

Page 795 9-33 MAIN DATA Guidelines for Installation of Aftermarket Radio Frequency Transmitting Equipment Purpose This installation guidelines give requirement and recommendations for the installation in vehicles of • radio frequency (RF) transmitting equipment. • ancillary equipment associated with these. NOTE • These guidelines are intended to supplement, but not to be used in place of, detailed instructions for such installations which are the sole responsibility of the manufacturer of the involved radio telephone or land mobile radio.
Page 796 9-34 MAIN DATA 3. The installation shall comply with national legal requirements for the installation and use of RF-transmitting equipment in vehicles. 4. Full consideration shall be given to the positioning of RF-transmitting equipment such that electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) is minimized between the RF-transmitting equipment being installed and the vehicle electrical and electronic systems.
Page 797 9-35 MAIN DATA 4. Care shall be taken when sitting an antenna next to an existing one or when mounting antennas with magnetic bases, as this could affect the accuracy or operation of the compass on vehicles so equipped. [Radiation patterns and ground planes] 1.
Page 798 9-36 MAIN DATA [Antenna position at vehicle] Installation and use of RF transmitters with antenna outside the vehicle is shown by Table 2. Table 2. Installation and use of RF transmitters with antenna outside the vehicle Frequency bands Max. output Antenna position Specific conditions for installation (MHz)
Page 799 9-37 MAIN DATA Antenna Cable 1. Use a high quality, one piece coaxial cable (at least 95% shield coverage) that is impedance matched for the RF-transmitting equipment (VSWR < 2.0). 2. Excess coaxial cable shall not be coiled, as this may affect the tuning of the antenna as well as producing electrical interference.
Page 800 9-38 MAIN DATA RF-transmitting Equipment [Mounting of RF-transmitting equipment] 1. Location of a RF-transmitting equipment should be selected that provides a solid mounting point which does not interfere with the vehicle operator controls and provides adequate ventilation. 2. RF-transmitting equipment shall not be able to be damaged or its ventilation restricted.
Page 801 9-39 MAIN DATA Power Supply for RF-transmitting Equipment [General] 1. A dedicated supply cable should be used for the RF-transmitting equipment installation which should be as short as possible to the battery positive and negative connections. Do not connect directly to the battery pillars, but use the battery terminals provided.
Page 802 1. A 12 V tap shall not be taken from 24 V vehicle batteries. NOTE • Most mobile RF-transmitting equipment operates from a 12 V supply. ISUZU FRR90/FSR34/FVR34/FSR90 have a 24 V, so it is essential that a suitable regulator or converter be used which will provide the nominal supply voltage and current for which the RF-transmitting equipment is designed.
