sure the brake cooling fan is operating when the vehicle is
being driven. The fan operates when the ignition switch is in
the “run” position. Keep the brake cooling system in good
working order by:
• cleaning debris from the air intake screen and ducts.
• keeping electrical connections tight and components se-
curely mounted.
7.4.8 ENGINE COOLING & EXHAUST SYSTEM
Engine cooling air is drawn in on the right side of the engine
compartment and expelled with the exhaust on the left side.
Keep all ducting and screening in place.
Coolant Recommendations - Kohler Aegis
Use equal parts of ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) and water only.
Distilled or deionized water is recommended, especially in ar-
eas where the water contains a high mineral content. Propyl-
ene glycol based anti-freeze is not recommended.
This mixture will provide protection from -37º C (-34º F) to
108º C (226º F). For protection and use outside the indicated
temperature limits, follow the anti-freeze manufacturers
instructions on the container, but do not exceed 70% anti-
freeze.
DO NOT use anti-freeze with stop-leak additive(s), or put any
other additives in the cooling system.
Coolant Recommendations - Kawasaki
Type: Permanent type of anti-freeze; green coloured
Mixed Ratio: 50% mixed
Freezing Point: -35º C (-31º F)

If the vehicle is equipped with an enclosed cab of any
sort, make sure there is plenty of ventilation to avoid
exposure to exhaust and engine fumes. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide; an odourless, colourless
toxic gas that will cause serious personal injury or
death. Inspect the exhaust system periodically for worn
or damaged components. Listen for a change in ex-
haust or engine noise that may indicate a dangerous
exhaust leak. If a leak is detected, have the exhaust
system repaired immediately before further use.
Check the area around the exhaust system periodically
for accumulated debris, particularly when travelling
through dry vegetation. Failure to inspect and clean
the exhaust system on a regular basis may create a fire
hazard.
The tail pipe exiting through the left side of the upper
body becomes very hot when the vehicle is operated.
DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO TOUCH THE EXHAUST
COMPONENTS. A SEVERE BURN CAN RESULT.
An annual complete check over of your ARGO vehicle
is recommended. This will reduce maintenance costs
over the life of your vehicle and ensure it will function
properly during use periods.
