MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Figure 7-6. Securing tensioner cam
To install the Drive Chains:
1. Position the drive chain over the slider block and around
the drive sprockets.
2. Pull the ends of the chain together and insert the con-
necting link as shown in Figure 7-8 and 7-9. When con-
necting the RC50-2 chain, insert the inside plates before
tapping the connecting link into position.
NOTE
Use a pair of modified 7R Vice Grips to hold the ends of
the chain together while inserting the connecting link.
Some drive chains have no slack, and replacement of the
connecting link is 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. Replace the outside plate and spring clip. The open end
of the clip must face rearward when it is on top of the
chain.
4. Remove the vice-grips, securing the cam assembly in its
lowest position.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 until all chains are replaced.
To remove the Drive Chains:
1. Place the gearshift in the N (neutral) position.
2. Remove the floor pans.
3. Turn the tensioner cam assembly in the direction which
winds up the torsion spring and push the assembly down
as close as possible to the cam follower block in the bot-
tom of the frame. Secure it in this position with a Vice-
Grip 10CR as illustrated in Figure 7-6.
4. Roll the vehicle until the connecting link on one of the
chains is visible.
5. Remove the spring clip from the connecting link as shown
in Figure 7-7. Remove the outside plate and tap out the
connecting link. The inside plates will be released when
the connecting link is removed (Figure 7-8).
6. Remove the chain from the vehicle.
7. Repeat steps 4 to 6 until all drive chains are removed.
