SECTION 2 GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION 2.1 NEW VEHICLE “BREAK-IN” PROCEDURE 2.2 PRE-OPERATION CHECKS To obtain long term, trouble free service from your vehicle, observe the following break-in guidelines: Carefully follow the engine manufacturer’s recommended preoperation/daily checks as well as the following: 1. Vary the speed of the vehicle for the first tank of fuel. Avoid full throttle operation during break-in period. 1.
SECTION 2 GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION Make sure all passengers riding in an ARGO equipped with tracks and ice cleats are informed to keep hands, feet and clothing inside the vehicle, well away from the tracks and ice cleats, while the ARGO is in motion. Serious injury or death could result from getting caught by the ice cleats. After filling the fuel tank, be sure the fuel cap is replaced securely. Do not drive the vehicle unless the fuel cap is properly in place.
SECTION 3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3.1 BRAKES AND STEERING The right and left steering levers are used to turn and stop the vehicle when it is moving forward or in reverse. When the right steering lever is pulled back, the vehicle turns to the right (Figure 3-1). When the left steering lever is pulled back, the vehicle turns to the left (Figure 3-2). To stop the vehicle, pull both steering levers back evenly (Figure 3-3). The ARGO is a skid steer vehicle.
SECTION 3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3.3 HOLDING BRAKE SYSTEM - VANGUARD 3.5 STARTING PROCEDURE The VANGUARD has a holding brake lever installed at the base of the left hand steering lever. Never start or run the engine in a closed building or confined area. Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is odourless, colourless and can cause serious personal injury or death. The holding brake is not a parking brake.
SECTION 3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 7. Push the choke in halfway after the engine starts, and push it in all the way as the engine warms up. 3.8 SELECTINGAND CHANGING TRANSMISSION GEARS 8. If the engine fails to start, refer to the trouble-shooting chart in Section 8 for corrective action. All models for the ARGO are equipped with a four position transmission. The gearshift lever extends through the firewall and is moved to the right or left into one of four positions (See Figure 3-7): 3.
SECTION 3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS If any resistance or grinding is experienced, shut off the engine, select the desired gear and restart the engine. Do not try to force the gear shift into position. Damage to the transmission can occur if the gearshift is forced. Have your dealer correct the problem if the gear grinding is experienced during shifting. 3. Use the gear position decal only as a guide for finding the gear position.
SECTION 4 DRIVING PROCEDURES 4.1 DRIVING STRAIGHTAHEAD Shift the transmission into LOW or HIGH. Hold both steering levers straight ahead against the dash (See Figure 4-1). Turn the throttle twist grip slowly until the clutch system engages and the vehicle moves forward. Figure 4-2. Correct method of making a wide turn Sharp turns, especially at high speeds or when heavily loaded, may cause the vehicle to roll over. Slow the vehicle down before making a turn. Do not apply the brakes too suddenly. 4.3.
SECTION 5 DRIVING PROCEDURES IN UNUSUAL CONDITIONS 5.1 REMOTEAREA USE hesitate, and may cause the vehicle to “buck.” This can lead to loss of control and rollover. To prevent this, do not operate the vehicle on slopes greater than 30 degrees. When traveling in remote areas or when traveling long distances, the following items are essential: • • • • • • • • • • • 5.
SECTION 5 DRIVING PROCEDURES IN UNUSUAL CONDITIONS 6. Be prepared to adjust the position of cargo and passengers so the vehicle floats level. 5.5 SIDE SLOPE OPERATION Do not drive your vehicle across the side of a hill. Side slope operation greatly increases the risk of rolling the vehicle over sideways. 7. Care must be taken when encountering submerged obstacles that may upset the vehicle.
SECTION 5 DRIVING PROCEDURES IN UNUSUAL CONDITIONS 5.6.2 Driving Procedures in Water After the vehicle is floating evenly on the water, turn the throttle twist grip to increase speed. Use only part throttle when traveling through water. Full throttle only results in excessive turbulence, not higher speeds. The vehicle is steered by pulling the right or left steering levers back as on land.
SECTION 5 DRIVING PROCEDURES IN UNUSUAL CONDITIONS If the vehicle breaks through the ice, it will float in the water, provided that there are no leaks in the body, the drain plugs are in place and vehicle is not taking on water through any body openings. However, there is a risk of the vehicle tipping, particularly if the load is unbalanced. Be prepared to shift occupants’ weight for balance. Gasoline is extremely flammable and can explode if ignited. Fill outboard motor fuel tanks outside of the vehicle.
