NOTE: Use a pair of modified 7R Vice Grips to hold the ends
of the chain together while inserting the connecting link. There
may be no slack in the idler chain, making installation of the
connecting link difficult without this tool. Modified Vice Grips
can be ordered from your ARGO dealer (ARGO Part No.
658-08) or refer to Appendix 1 for modification information.
3. Install the outside plate and secure with the cotter pins.
Note: Always use new cotter pins. Figure 7-18a.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to replace the other idler chain.

7.2.6 TIRE INFLATION
Improperly inflated tires can cause the vehicle to pull to one
side, requiring constant steering correction. Suggested infla
-
tion is based on the type of rim in the wheel, and are listed
below.
Standard 8" Steel Rim
2.5 to 3.5 psi
(17 to 24 kPa)
Standard 9" Steel Rim
2.5 to 3.5 psi
(17 to 24 kPa)
Offset 9" Steel Rim
2.5 to 3.5 psi
(17 to 24 kPa)
Offset 9" Aluminum
Beadlock
Rim 1.5 to 3.5 psi
(10 to 24 kPa)
The maximum operating pressure for all tires is 7.0 psi (48
kPa).
A special low pressure tire gauge (ARGO Part No. 619-10) is
available from your ARGO dealer.
CHANGING TIRE PRESSURE FOR DIFFERENT
TERRAIN CONDITIONS
The tire pressure should be adjusted according to differences in
terrain. Observance of these guidelines will lead to less wear
& tear on both vehicle and tires. The operator should equip
the vehicle with a low pressure tire gauge (Part No. 619-10)
and with a hand pump.
