1.4.1 Argo Vehicle Capacity
Vehicle capacity includes occupants, cargo, fuel, and
all additional accessories. Capacity for occupants and
cargo is reduced by the weight of accessories as shown
in the following chart.
Some models come with accessories included. Available vehicle
capacity must be reduced if your vehicle is equipped with any
additional accessories. Reduce the available capacity by the total
weightofadditionalaccessoriesttedtoyourvehicle.
Load capacity on water is reduced by 100lbs. if your
8x8 Argo is equipped with optional smaller 24x10.00-8
tires when the standard spec would include 25x12.00-9.
The reduced buoyancy could cause the Argo to become
swamped and sink, causing injury or drowning to the
driver and passengers.
