  • Page 755 8-73 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY When Towing To move a disabled vehicle, it is best to rely on someone in the wrecker or tow truck business. If that is not possible, follow these procedures. When towing, use appropriate equipment and comply with local legal requirements. Do not try to start the engine by towing or pushing the vehicle.
  • Page 756 8-74 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY Towing Forward (All Wheels on the Ground, or the Front Wheels are off the Ground) When it is possible to operate the steering wheel, the vehicle can be towed with all wheels on the ground. If the engine cannot be started, the power steering system does not work, making steering difficult.

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.
