ACCESSORY INFORMATION
If an Argo is taken outdoors into freezing temperatures after
the track system has been installed indoors at normal room
temperature, the tires will lose air pressure. After the tires have
cooled down to the outdoor temperature where the vehicle
is to be operated, the tire pressure should be rechecked and
adjusted as required.
Observe all operating precautions as outlined in 11.5 of this
Accessory Section.
11.4 ICE CLEAT ASSEMBLY
ARGO ice cleats are stamped steel cleats that bolt to the outer
edges of the Rubber Tracks or Super Track segments to grip
on hard pack snow and ice to improve traction and stopping.
Make sure all passengers riding in an Argo equipped
with ice cleats are informed to keep hands, feet and
clothing inside the vehicle, well away from the tracks and
ice cleats while the Argo is in motion. Serious injury or
death could result from getting caught by the ice cleats.
Installing Argo ice cleats or any other traction device on
the in-board side of the track segment, close to the lower
body, may cause damage to the lower body if contact
results while the vehicle is being driven.
11.5 OUTBOARD MOTOR BRACKET - SIDE
MOUNT
The side mount outboard motor bracket attaches to the right
rear of any Argo model. It allows the attachment of a gasoline
or electric outboard motor of 9.9 horsepower maximum. When
traveling on land it is recommended that the outboard motor
be transported in the rear compartment of the Argo.
Use caution when turning in confined spaces or close
to bystanders. Personal injury or damage may result.
Figure 11-15. Warning Label 618-21.
11.6 ARGO STORAGE COVERS
The Argo storage covers prevent debris, rain water or snow
from accumulating in the Argo. Secure the cover by pulling
it down over the bumper and tying the cord tightly in place.
A cord or tie strap through the side grommets and under the
vehicle lower body securely holds the cover in place in windy
conditions.
Damage may result to the cover if the vehicle is trans-
ported at highway speeds with the cover in place. If the
cover must be used while transporting the vehicle, dam-
age may be minimized by placing padding over sharp
corners such as the tail pipe or the winch and tying the
cover securely in place against the Argo body.
11.7 POWER WINCH
The power winch mounts to the front of the Argo and can be
used for self-recovery and to raise and lower the Snow Plow
blade. The winch has a free-wheeling feature that allows the
cable to be pulled off the winch drum without using the 12
volt electric motor.
The electrical components and the wiring design of the winch
kit prevents the use of the winch motor unless the ignition
key is turned to the ‘on’ position. This is a safety feature that
prevents the unauthorized use of the winch when the vehicle
is parked.
After the installation of the winch kit is completed, test the
electrical connections by moving the toggle switch control
from side to side with the ignition switch removed. If the
winch DOES NOT operate the connections are correct. If
the winch starts during this test have the installer correct the
wiring connections immediately.
