Operator`s manual
A MESSAGE FROM THE PEOPLE WHO BUILT YOUR ARGO
Thank you for selecting an ARGO amphibious, off-road utility vehicle!
Ontario Drive & Gear Limited has been building ARGO vehicles since 1967. By listening care-
fully to our customers and responding to their needs, we have been constantly improving the
ARGO and will continue to do so.
Over twenty-five thousand ARGO vehicles have provided reliable service all over the world.
From Britain to the Far East, Alaska to the Antarctic, and from the tropical forests of South
America to the deserts of Saudi Arabia. We are proud to provide you with a vehicle that repre-
sents the ultimate in amphibious, all-terrain transportation.
Your safety and the safety of all ARGO users is of the greatest concern to us. You will find
numerous safety statements in this manual. Please read and follow them carefully. Always be
safety conscious when you operate your ARGO and remember it is a motorized vehicle.
The ARGO is easy to drive and you will soon be tempted to take on new challenges. Please take
the time to develop your driving skills before doing so. Observe the recommendations outlined
in this Operator’s Manual and remember; some things are just impossible, even with an ARGO.
WELCOME TO THE WORLD WIDE ARGO FAMILY!
