Not a fire truck. It's a sprinkler or hydrant system.

Fire truck I am assuming this is an OSH KOSh fire truck driven by a GM Engine.

Software programming hooked to motor GM engines are programmable by software. One hooks engine to special equipment and can actually change the amount of injected fuel by programming. The tech uses the keyboard to actually change engine values. Some GM diesel can lose all programming in the onboard computer and have to be carefully reprogrammed on screen to ge them to run. Twenty years ago hot rodders used to change horsepower by substituting actually chips.

@Phil Thank you. Perhaps you are right. At least it is a plausible suggestion. I also think that there is something wrong with the Spanish (which, even in the main body of the tender, is very poorly written in some places, while in other places it is obviously missing text).

It continues to surprise me that so many documents drafted by personnel in government offices are so poorly written.

Does it mean Motor output software-controlled by manufacturer? I think there may be something wrong with the Spanish.

This document shows the general procedures for purchasing, installing

Because the procedures are generic in nature, this may not capture every screen or

screen and proceed as indicated. Programming is vehicle specific and directions may
vary. All documentation is subject to change at any time. Any and all OEM
documentation should be read in its entirety along with the vehicle Service Manual prior......
