ACCESSORY INFORMATION
11.7.1 Operating Guidelines
1. Do NOT operate the Centaur on open or frozen bodies
of water with the snowplow attached.
2. For quick removal of the snowplow unit, disconnect the
rear hitch points of the upper boom from the mounting
brackets, unhook and rewind the winch cable.
3. The knives are specially designed to be reversible and
interchangeable with each other once the leading edge
has worn.
11.8 AMPHIBIOUS TRAILER (Part No. 695-80BL)
The Centaur Four Wheel Amphibious Trailer has been de-
signed for use as an additional cargo carrier with any Centaur
Off Road Vehicle.
It is NOT intended for transporting peo-
ple.
Become familiar with the trailer’s handling characteristics,
especially in water and hilly conditions, BEFORE using it in
unfamiliar terrain or fully loaded.
The trailer tongue is designed to swivel, much like a
universal joint, even in the roughest terrain.
DO NOT exceed maximum load capacity for your spe-
cific application.
Exceeding the load capacity could cause trailer or tow
vehicle to damage and personal injury could be incurred.
11.8.1 Operating Precautions
Observe the following recommendations for safe and trouble
free operations:
•
Trailer load capacity - 600 lbs. (270 kg.). Trailer weight
- 385 lbs. (175kg.)
•
Keep tire pressure at 4 psi.
•
Cargo must be kept low and centered in the trailer at all
times, especially if used in water. Be aware that loads
may shift when trailer is operated in uneven terrain.
•
Keep both drain plugs in place and tightly sealed. Re-
move floorboard for access to plugs. To tighten plugs,
turn lever clockwise. To loosen, turn counter clockwise.
To remove, lift lever and pull up on plug.
•
Caution - Asphalt or concrete surfaces will cause exces-
sive tire wear.
•
Do not use in fast flowing or rough water. Operator dis-
cretion is advised.
•
Do not stop suddenly when pulling a loaded trailer down
hill as it may run ahead or into the back of the vehicle
pulling it.
Keep fingers clear of tongue swiveling components.
•
Do not step on or place loads on the edge of the body
over the trailer wheels. This area of the trailer body is
intended only as a mud guard.
•
Keep the outer axle bearing flanges and inner bearings
filled with Shell Alvania 2 grease, or equivalent, as this
provides extra protection for the bearings from dirt and
water.
•
Remove water and debris from the trailer frequently. This
will prevent premature rusting of the frame and con-
tamination of the bearings.
11.9 CAB HEATER (Part No. 848-110)
The Centaur can be fitted with a 17000 BTU cab heater. It is
equipped with a 3-speed dual fan motor. This will provide
operator comfort in the harshest winter conditions.
11.10 DUMP BOX KIT (Part No. 835-100)
The dump box is mounted to the mainframe. It improves the
load carrying versatility of the Centaur.
Keep hands and arms clear when lowering box.
No riders in box; riders can fall off and be killed.
Installation of dump box reduces vehicle capacity by 109
kg (240 lbs) on both land or water. (Capacity includes:
occupants, cargo and fuel.)
Tie loads down. Spread loads evenly.
Operators should use caution when turning in confined
spaces and close to bystanders. The dump box decreases
the rear clearance of the Centaur.
Never operate dump while moving.
Operate dump on level ground only.
The dump box decreases the vehicle stability. Operate
the vehicle with extra precautions when on uneven ter-
rain and in water.
