ACCESSORY INFORMATION
10.23 DUMP BOX KIT (Part Nos. 835-00 & 835-01)
The dump box kit can be installed on any Argo 8 x 8. It
improves the load carrying versatility of the Argo.
Keep hands and arms clear when lowering box.
No riders in box; riders can fall off and be killed
Installation of dump box reduces vehicle capacity;
On land: 408kg (900lbs)
On water: 227kg (500lbs)
(Capacity includes: occupants, cargo and fuel)
Tie loads down. Spread loads evenly.
Operators should use caution when turning in confined
spaces and close to bystanders. The dump box decreases
the rear clearance of the Argo.
Never operate dump while moving.
Operate dump on level ground only.
The dump box decreases the vehicle stability. Operate
the vehicle with extra precautions when on uneven ter-
rain and in water.
Note: Frequent use of the powered dump box will re-
sult in battery drain. The installation of an alternator
kit is strongly suggested.
10.23.1 Dump Box Operating Guidelines
1. For quick removal of the box disconnect the actuator or
springs then disconnect the rear hinge pins 104-32.
2. The rear side seats can still be used if you remove the
dump box and undercarriage.
3. A rear bench seat kit 849-60 can be used when the dump
box is removed. The undercarriage frame support plates
are in the same location as the rear bench seat frame
support plates. So the seat can quickly be attached with-
out any additional mounting.
