ACCESSORY INFORMATION
(2) The wire rope was pulled and the loop has tightened to
a kink. The wire rope is now permanently damaged and
must be replaced.
(3) The result of kinking is that each strand pulls a differ
-
ent amount, causing the strands under greatest tension
to break and reduce load capacity of the wire rope. The
wire rope must be replaced.
11.8 REAR MUD FLAP ACCESSORY
Argo mud flaps are made of black polyethylene sheet cut to
conform to the curve of the rear corners of the lower body.
They are recommended for use with either track system to
block the mud and snow thrown up during higher speed travel.
11.9 HANDRAIL ACCESSORY
Handrails mount to the top of the upper body around the rear
compartment, providing a convenient passenger hand hold or
cargo tie down point.
Do not attempt to lift the vehicle by using the handrails.
11.10 TOW HOOK ACCESSORY
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 downward pull.
11.11 WINDSHIELD
The windshield features an anodized aluminum frame with
rubber mounted 24" high x 48" wide laminated 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
using the quick pins supplied. Do not attempt to fasten
the front of a convertible top to the windshield until the
support 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
secured in place using a rope or a tie down strap
.
Operating the Argo for extended periods in high ambi-
ent temperatures with the windshield in the folded down
position may restrict hot air flow from the engine com
-
partment 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:
DANGER
!
Engine exhaust fumes are poisonous and
can cause illness or death if inhaled. Allow
for adequate ventilation in the passenger
compartment when a top is installed.
Les gaz d'échappement sont nocifs. Les inhaler
peut causer la maladie ou la mort. Assurez-vous
d'une bonne ventilation du compartiment des
passagers quand un toit est installé.
If this decal is not attached to the windshield, contact your
Argo retailer for a free-of-charge replacement. The part num-
ber is 126-84.
