break and reduce load capacity of the wire rope. The
wire rope must be replaced.
11.10 REAR MUD FLAP KIT (Part No. 625-10)
Argo mud flaps are made of black polyethylene sheet cut to
conform to the curve of the rear corners of the lower body.
They are recommended for use with either track system to
block the mud and snow thrown up during higher speed travel.
11.11 TRAILER HITCH KIT (Part No. 626-10)
The trailer hitch kit is optional for the Vanguard models and is
standard on all other models. It mounts at the rear of the Argo.
Maximum tongue weight is 100 lbs./45 kgs. Maximum pull
weight is 800 lbs./364 kgs.
11.12 BILGE PUMP KIT (Part No. 638-25 & 638-30)
The bilge pump kit features a 12 volt, 500 gallon per hour
pump to empty water from the lower body. Operated by a dash
mounted push/pull switch, the bilge pump is recommended
for any amphibious use of an Argo.
The pump is not designed to run dry. Use only when
water has collected in the lower body.
11.13 HANDRAIL KITS (Part Nos. 639-20, 839-20 &
839-30)
Handrails mount to the top of the upper body around the rear
compartment, providing a convenient passenger hand hold or
cargo tie down point.
Do not attempt to lift the vehicle by using the hand-
rails.
11.14 TOW HOOK KIT (Part No. 642-00)
The tow hook kit is a steel fabrication that bolts securely
through the bumper and both body halves at the front or rear
of the vehicle.
The tow hook is not intended to secure an Argo to a
trailer or truck bed. Body deformation could result
from a downward pull.
11.15 WINDSHIELD (Part No. 648-75 & 648-80)
The windshield features an anodized aluminum frame with rub-
ber mounted 24" high x 48" wide laminated safety glass. It
mounts to the top of the dash area of any Argo model, folds
down and secures in place over the hood and is required for
the convertible top.
When the windshield is raised in the upright position,
it must be supported by the two side support arms. At-
tach both support arms to the windshield frame brack-
ets using the quick pins supplied. Do not attempt to
fasten the front of a convertible top to the windshield
until the support arms are in place.
DO NOT transport the Argo at highway speeds with the
windshield upright. For transportation at highway
speeds, it is recommended that the vehicle be reversed
on the truck or trailer so that the front of the Argo faces
to the rear. The windshield should be folded down and
secured in place using a rope or a tie down strap.
Operating the Argo for extended periods in high ambi-
ent temperatures with the windshield in the folded down
position may restrict hot air flow from the engine com-
partment which could lead to engine overheating and
heat build-up in the windshield frame and glass. Use
caution when operating the vehicle with the windshield
folded down to avoid overheating in warm tempera-
tures.
The following decal should be attached to the inside of the
windshield:
