6.3.4 Oil Filter

Change the oil filter when the oil is changed.  

Part No. 12 050 01

 - Command Pro EFI engines. 

Part No. 842921 -

 Briggs and Stratton Vanguard engines.

Before installing the new filter, lubricate the rubber filter 

gasket with clean engine oil. Screw the filter on by hand until 

the gasket contacts filter adapter. Tighten 1/2 to 3/4 turn more.  

Start and run engine to check for oil leaks. Stop engine and 

re-check oil level. Add oil if required.

6.4 LUBRICATION INFORMATION

6.4.1 General

The following parts and components require regularly sched-

uled lubrication to prevent premature wear and replacement.

 

1. Idler Chain 

2. Drive Chains  

 

3. Bearings

Use the recommended lubricants listed in this section and 

carefully observe the recommended lubrication intervals.

6.4.2 Clutch Lubrication

No lubrication is required for either the driven clutch or driver 

clutch. They are designed to run dry. If lubricant is used, use 

of the vehicle will attract dirt and cause damage to the clutch 

components. Contamination by dust and dirt can cause poor 

performance, premature wear or failure. 

 

      

Only qualified personnel should perform installation, main

-

tenance, adjustments and repair operations on the variable 

speed transmission system

.

A complete service of the clutch units is required after 

every 250 hours of operation. To perform this procedure, the 

clutches must be disassembled. Special tools are required to 

disassemble the clutch units. We recommend that you return 

your vehicle to an authorized ARGO dealer to have the clutch 

units serviced.

6.4.3 Drive Chain Lubrication

Your ARGO vehicle is equipped with roller chains to each 

axle.  Lubricate the chains every 10 hours with Aerosol Chain 

Lube (ARGO brand Part No. 130-101), or more frequently in 

dirty or wet conditions.

After every 100 hours of operation, or for extended periods 

of storage, remove all the drive chains from the vehicle and 

clean them thoroughly in a suitable solvent, i.e. degreaser. 

 See 

WARNING

 following page.

Never use gasoline as a cleaning solvent.  Gasoline is 

extremely flammable and can explode if ignited, causing 

serious personal injury.

Allow the chains to dry thoroughly, re-lubricate generously 

with ARGO Chain Lube and re-install.
Refer to Section 7.2.3 of this manual for drive chain removal 

and re-installation instructions.
