Installing Mobile Radio and Antenna

CAUTION: Under no circumstances should mobile radio antenna be mounted to rear of cab or antenna cable be routed near harness for electrical system controllers or near operator controls. Failure to follow these precautions could expose operator to radio frequency energy levels higher than recommended by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and/or could cause undesirable performance of electronically controlled systems.

IMPORTANT: Avoid possible interference of machine electronics by keeping radio, power, and antenna cables close to the cab roof.

A - Mobile Radio Bracket

B - Console Light

C - Roof Trim

D - Power Leads

E - Antenna Cable

Install radio as shown. A template is provided in this section to determine location of bracket (A). Align template with radii cut out around console light (B) and tapered edge along roof trim (C). Mount bracket within cross-hatch area.

Another mounting choice is to use the two studs on right rear cab post.

Remove existing entertainment radio bezel to gain access to power leads (D) and antenna cable (E).

CAUTION: Prevent possible personal injury. Disconnect battery ground cable before any electrical repair.

Choose the following connections for mobile radio:

  1. Red wire No. 202 - mobile radio controlled by key switch.

  2. Black wire - mobile radio ground.

    Connect antenna cable to radio. Remove rain cap on outer roof and attach non-ground plane type antenna to the mount. Antenna mount is 1-1/8 in. - 18 thread. The cable connector for radio is a PL259 type. Adapters are available through radio equipment suppliers.

    NOTE: Antenna should be trimmed to appropriate variable standing wave ratio (VSWR). A professional installer is recommended.

    Install the radio bezel after the mobile radio cable and wires are routed.
