SECTION 11
ACCESSORY INFORMATION
11.1 GENERAL
This section deals with accessories that have been specifi-
cally designed for the ARGO and can be purchased separately
from your dealer. Special operating procedures and safety
precautions must be observed before operating or using cer-
tain accessories.
11.2 CARGO TIE DOWNS (Part No. 614-06)
Cargo tie downs are intended to assist in securing a load in
the rear compartment of any Argo. Use rope or elastic cords,
laced over the load and through the tie down rings, to hold the
load in place.
Never attempt to raise the vehicle by using the tie down
rings as lifting points.
Never exceed gross vehicle weight. Never exceed the
maximum rear compartment weight for 6-wheelers (65
kg/140 lbs.).
11.3 ARGO TRACK SYSTEMS (Standard Track - Part Nos.
615-42K & 815-42K, Super Track - Part Nos. 625-37K, 625-
42K & 825-42K) & Rubber Track - Part No. 825-50-1
There are three different types of track systems available for
use with the Argo, the standard track system, the super track
system and the rubber track system. Standard tracks and su-
per tracks are similar in basic design and use the same pins
and lock collars to join the segments together. However, su-
per tracks and rubber tracks are wider than standard tracks
and require axle extensions and studs assembled to each wheel
hub.
The 825-50-1 Rubber Track System is NOT a segmented track.
This track is installed over the existing tires and is hinged in
one location only.
The track systems spread the weight of the vehicle over a
larger area than the tires, thereby reducing the ground pres-
sure and allowing the vehicle to stay on top of, rather than
sinking into, soft terrain.
The segmented track design allows the replacement of only
those segments that may have become damaged or worn with
use.
Only use track segments that show the Argo trademark.
Other track systems may fail and damage axles, bear-
ings and the final drive system.
Track segments will wear prematurely if used over pave-
ment, gravel, rock or on any abrasive surface.
11.3.1 Installation Instructions (Standard and Supertrack)
1. Join 2 track segments together, lining up the 1/4" holes.
See Fig. 11-1. Hammer a track pin through the holes, plac-
ing the lock bushing as shown in the centre space pro-
vided. When installing the track pins which hold the track
segments together, alternate the direction in which the pins
are pushed through the track segment holes. See Fig. 11-2.
