Applying brakes
suddenly when going
downhill.
Sudden braking can cause the vehicle to roll over
forward.
Gently apply the brakes to control downward
vehicle speed. Do not jam on the brakes while
travelling downhill.
Operating the Argo on
paved surfaces.
Pavement may seriously affect handling and
control.
Do not drive your vehicle on asphalt or con-
crete roadways.
Operating Argo on
public streets, roads or
highways.
A collision can occur with another vehicle.
Never drive on public roads.
Operating at excessive
speeds.
Personal injury or vehicle damage may result.
Do not drive the vehicle at high speeds over
unfamiliar or rough terrain.
Never operate at speeds too fast for your skills
or the conditions.
Failure to use extra
care when operating
the Argo on unfamiliar
terrain.
Personal injury or vehicle damage may result.
Do not drive the vehicle at high speeds over
unfamiliar or rough terrain.
Failure to use extra
care when operating on
rough, slippery or loose
terrain.
Could cause loss of traction or vehicle control,
which could result in an accident, including an
overturn.
Do not operate on rough, slippery or loose
terrain until you have learned and practised the
skills necessary to control the Argo on such
terrain.
Turning improperly.
When turning, the back of the vehicle swings to
the opposite direction of the turn, creating a risk
of hitting persons or objects.
Sharp turns, especially at high speeds or when
heavily loaded, may cause the vehicle to roll
over.
Always take precautions when making turns to
avoid rolling the vehicle or hitting persons or
objects.
Slow the vehicle down before making a turn.
Do not apply the brakes too suddenly.
Driving on inclines
with a loaded vehicle.
Heavy loads and high loads decrease the stabil-
ity of the vehicle and may cause it to roll.
Use extreme CAUTION when negotiating
inclines with a loaded vehicle. Be prepared to
shift occupant weight and load forward or have
passengers get out of the vehicle to walk up an
incline.
Going downhill im-
properly.
Sudden braking can cause the vehicle to roll
over forwards.
Avoid steep declines when possible. When a
steep decline cannot be avoided, shift occupant
weight to the rear of the vehicle to prevent the
vehicle from rolling over.
