10.14 TOW HOOK KIT (Part No. 642-00)
The tow hook kit is a steel fabrication that bolts securely
through the bumper and both body halves at the front or rear
of the vehicle.
The tow hook is not intended to secure an Argo to a trailer
or truck bed. Body deformation could result from a down-
ward pull.
10.15 WINDSHIELD (Part No. 648-00)
The windshield features an anodized aluminum frame with
rubber mounted 24" high x 48" wide tempered safety glass.
It mounts to the top of the dash area of any Argo model, folds
down and secures in place over the hood and is required for
the convertible top.
When the windshield is raised in the upright position, it
must be supported by the two side support arms. Attach
both support arms to the windshield frame brackets us-
ing the quick pins supplied. Do not attempt to fasten the
front of a convertible top to the windshield until the sup-
port arms are in place.
DO NOT transport the Argo at highway speeds with the
windshield upright. For transportation at highway
speeds, it is recommended that the vehicle be reversed on
the truck or trailer so that the front of the Argo faces to
the rear. The windshield should be folded down and se-
cured in place using a rope or a tie down strap
.
Operating the Argo for extended periods in high ambient
temperatures with the windshield in the folded down po-
sition may restrict hot air flow from the engine compart-
ment which could lead to engine overheating and heat
build-up in the windshield frame and glass. Use caution
when operating the vehicle with the windshield folded
down to avoid overheating in warm temperatures.
The following decal should be attached to the inside of the
windshield:
If this decal is not attached to the windshield, contact your
Argo retailer for a free-of-charge replacement. The part
number is 126-84.
10.16 CONVERTIBLE TOP (Part No. 649-33, 649-50 &
849-50)
The convertible top provides protection from the elements
for the occupants and offers the option of rolling up or re-
moving the side doors, rear door and rear side panels while
leaving the overhead portion in place.
Never fold the clear plastic windows; always roll them
up to store them in place on the top assembly or remove
them.
