11.1 general information
This section describes accessories designed specifically for ARGO, which can be purchased separately from your dealer. Special procedures and precautions must be followed when using certain accessories.
11.2 HINGE KIT FOR FIXING
cargo (#614-06)
In the cargo compartment of any Argo all-terrain vehicle, loops are mounted around the perimeter, into which a cable is threaded to secure the load.
WARNING
Do not attempt to use the tie-down rings to lift the ATV.
ATTENTIONDo not exceed the permitted gross vehicle weight. Do not exceed the permitted load capacity of the rear compartment for 6-wheel models (65 kg).
11.3 argo track systems (Standard Track - #615-43 & 815-42K, EXTRA WIDE - #625-37K, 625-43 & 825-42K, Rubber Track - #825-50-1, 625-50)
Three types of tracks are installed on Argo all-terrain vehicles: standard, extra wide and rubber. The basic design is the same, using the same pins and locks, but the extra wide and rubber tracks are wider so they require an axle extension and wheel hub studs.
Rubber tracks #825-50-1 and 625-50 are NOT segmented. It mounts over existing busbars and is secured in one position only.
The track system distributes the weight of the rover over a larger area, reducing ground pressure and keeping the rover from sinking into soft soils.
Modular track design allows individual broken or worn segments to be replaced.
WARNING
Use only Argo branded links. The use of other parts may damage the axles, bearings and final drive.
Plastic chain links wear prematurely when used on pavements, gravel, rocks or other abrasive surfaces.
11.3.1 Installation instructions (standard track and extra wide track)
Bring the 2 chain links together, matching the 1/4" holes. See Figure 11-1. Drive the track chain pin into the holes, centering the bushing. When installing the track link pins, alternate the direction in which the pins are inserted See Figure 11-2.
Rice. 11-1. Track assembly
Rice. 11-2. Track assembly
NOTE
Center the finger so that it does not stick out from the sides of the track.
Apply a drop of blue 242 Loctite to the hole where the bushing and set screw are inserted. Tighten screw with 1/8" Allen wrench. TIGHTEN PROPERLY. Installationthe screw must fit into the groove of the track chain pin.
Assemble two tracks completely:
29 links per side for models with V699 and 28 links for previous models
- 1 half link
For 8-wheel models - 36 links on each side
- 1 half link
IMPORTANT: The actual number of links may vary. Wrap the track track around the tires. Make sure they are secured around the front and rear deflated tires. Then add or remove extra links until there is a 2" to 2-1/2" tolerance between adjacent links. Use C-clamps to tie the last link.
WARNING
Extra wide and rubber tracks require axle extension #605-77 and extension studs #126-08 to be installed on each wheel hub prior to installation. Failure to do so will result in serious damage to the bottom of the housing.
11.3.2 Installing the axle extension (extra wide and rubber tracks)
Hang the wheels and remove them using a 3/4" socket wrench.
Install the extension studs on the wheel hubs and tighten them securely using a 5/8" socket wrench. See Figure 11-3.
Install the axle extension onto the extension studs and firmly seat it on the hub. The smaller hole should face away from the hub.
The extension studs are hexagonal and must fit exactly into the corresponding slots in the axle extension. (See Figure 11-4). If the extension studs do not line up with the slots of the axle extension when tightened, it is necessary to align each stud by further tightening (never loosening) until it is completely aligned, when the extension can be easily (manually) removed from the hub. Torque must be at least 40 ft/lbs (5.3 kgf m). Properly tightened and aligned extension studs require no further tightening. However, it is very important that with the extra wide and rubber tracks installed, the Argo ATV wheel nuts are torqued to 55 ft/lb (7.6 kG m), re-tightening is required after 10 hours of operation, then after another 10 hours of operation, then after every 25 hours of operation.
Fig.11-3. Installing the axle extension
Fig.11-4. Checking the position of the stud in the axle extension
WARNING
Incorrect tightening of the extension studs can result in damage to the extension studs, bolts and axle extension.
Be guided by common sense.
Install wheels using a ¾" socket. Use extreme care and take your time to avoid breaking the axle extension. Torque should be 55 ft/lb (7.6 kgfm).
Installation of ARGO tracks
NOTEIf the tracks hang to one side after being planted on the ground, rotate the wheels one turn so they hang to the other side as shown in fig. 11-5. If this NOT do, the rover can roll over to the side when driving.
Rice. 11-5. Track assembly
Lay the two assembled tracks on the ground. Run the wheels on them until there are only two links in front of the tires.
Wrap the remaining links around the front and rear wheels.
Deflate the front and rear wheels to facilitate installation of the last chain pin. The gap between adjacent segments should be between 2" and 2-1/2". Adjust the number of links until the specified value is reached.
Align the two ends of the chain and fix them with C-clamps as shown in fig. 11-4 so that the 1/4" holes line up.
Install the last chain pin as described in paragraphs. 1 and 2. Remove clamps.
Inflate rear tires to 4.0 psi (28 kPa) and all others to 3.0 psi (21kPa)/
Wait until tires reach temperature environment. Check tire pressure at operating temperature
Rice. 11-6. Track assembly
When the temperature changes, the chain links expand or contract, and the tire pressure changes accordingly. To maintain the correct tension, observe the following precautions:
WARNING
Do not inflate tires. The chain links touching the bottom may damage it. Be especially attentive to the behavior of the tracks during the first few hours of operation.
If the track is loose or sagging, comes into contact with the bottom of the hull, or the tires begin to slip inside the track, DO NOT INCREASE TIRE PRESSURE ABOVE 4 PSI. REMOVE HALF-LINKS FROM EACH TRACK.
Excessive tire pressure accelerates the wear of Argo tires and tracks and can also cause axle and/or bearing failure. Under-inflated tires may slip in the tracks or loose on the wheel rims. On curves or side slopes, the tires may slip out of the tracks. Check the tire pressure level. Avoid sharp turns at high speeds when the ATV is heavily loaded.
11.3.3 Removing the tracks from the Argo
Use a C-clamp to release tension from the track pin as shown in fig. 11-6.
Remove the set screw from the track chain pin. Put it in a safe place.
Using a 1/4" wedge and a hammer, start knocking out the track chain pin from the side of the ATV. Then pull the pin out with a vise.
Pull the track off the top of the tires and drive the machine off the tracks.
11.3.4 Travel precautions
The carrying capacity of the Argo in water is reduced if the ATV is tracked. The load capacity of the 6-wheel model is 120 kg; 8-wheel - 270 kg. See water travel precautions in section 5.6.
Use the Argo on tracks in the water only if equipped with an outboard motor. Caterpillars do not help the all-terrain vehicle to float.
WARNING
Be careful when moving in winter after the temperature drops. Accumulation of snow and slush on the track can form ice that can damage the track chain. Periodically remove snow, mud and ice from axles and tracks to prevent build-up.
Be careful when moving in an all-terrain vehicle on a caterpillar track. Make sure the steel pins are well secured in each track segment. Otherwise, the bottom may be damaged by the protruding pin.
ATTENTION
Be especially careful when driving on tracks on icy surfaces. At the same time, controllability and braking efficiency are reduced. Reset your speed.
Be especially careful when moving on tracks on ice. If the ice breaks and fills with water, the all-terrain vehicle can drown. Check that the drain plugs are in place and do not overload the ATV. If ice breaks, try to reverse, being careful not to get water into the engine compartment. See section 5.7.1 for more information.
11.3.5 Standard tracks
Standard tracks allow the Argo to travel on looser surfaces such as mud, silt, swamp, peat and snow. Standard tracks are suitable for a wide range of surfaces. However, in deep snow it is better to move on extra-wide tracks.
11.3.6 Extra wide tracks
Extra-wide tracks give the Argo ATVs maximum buoyancy. They are very effective in deep snow, swamps and peat bogs.
Be careful when walking on uneven surfaces. Due to the extra width of the segments, it is possible for the segment to "stick" to one edge of the tire, which can cause it to slide off the rim. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE SUPER WIDE TRACKS TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES TYPE LOGS, STUNKS OR ROCKS.
11.3.7 Rubber tracks #825-50-1 & #625-50
Rubber tracks give the Argo all-terrain vehicles the same "buoyancy" as extra-wide ones. They are highly wear resistant and are a closed rubber band. Rubber tracks have low rolling resistance.
11.3.8 Installation Instructions (Rubber tracks #625-50 and 825-50-1)
Install the pivot assembly as described in rubber track installation instructions #825-50-1 and #625-50.
Install the axle extension and extension studs on the wheel hubs as specified in paragraph 11.3.2 of this section.
Check if the front and rear tires are the same size as shown in Fig. 11-9. If this is not the case, the track may twist, causing damage to the tensioner, and possibly other propulsion devices. Tires can be sized as follows:
With tires fitted, reduce pressure to 5.0 psi.
Measure the circumference of each tire using the appropriate tape measure; You need to measure exactly in the center of the tire. See fig. 11-7. Record the measurement results for each tire. See fig. 11-8.
Install tires as shown in Diagram 11-9.
Rice. 11-7. How to measure a tire
Rice. 11-8. How to mark a tire
NOTE
Two tires with the same circumferential measurement at 5 psi must have the same circumference at the same pressure. Check the tire pressure every 10 hours of operation and adjust it according to the values given in the table.
See Fig.11-9.
With properly sized tires, all drive chains should be connected to the transmission on the left side for maximum efficiency. If chain twisting is suspected, remove the tracks and check the tires for front and rear tire circumference matching at the same tire pressure.
Release the air from the front and rear tires.

Installing tracks on an all-terrain vehicle
IMPORTANT
BEFORE INSTALLING RUBBER TRACKS, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO GET THE CORRECT TIRE SIZE. MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS CORRECTLY.
Lay two complete tracks on the floor (soil).
Slide the ATV forward on the tracks until there is approximately 203mm from the front wheel to the end of the track.
Wrap the track around the wheels, starting with the rear wheel towards the front.
Deflate the front and rear tires (or all) to ease the installation of the track chain pins.
Connect the ends of the track and secure them with a C-shaped crimp as shown in fig. 11-10, making sure that the holes in the hinge assembly match.
Rice. 11-10. Fixing with C-crimp
Insert track pin #825-56 through one of the washers #108-23 and then through the pivot assembly. Insert your pin from the outside of the track so that the edge with the cotter pin holes ends closer to the bottom of the ATV body.
Lock the pin into the pivot assembly with a washer #108-23 and a cotter pin #100-100 on the end closest to the body of the ATV.
Inflate the tires as shown in the diagram. With the tires installed and inflated as shown above, the clearance between the underside of the second (or third) tire and the inside of the track should be 2 to 3 inches. See fig. 11-11 and 11-12. To meet this condition, it may be necessary to increase the length of the track by inserting or installing an additional link kit. For Avenger models, assuming standard tire circumferences of 79-80 inches, total track length should be 235 inches, including links and inserts to increase track length. For Frontier models, assuming standard tire circumferences of 76-77 inches, the overall track length should be 189 inches. If the wheels inside the track slip in winter, the insert can be dismantled. Note: Too much track tension causes severe stress on the axles, bearings and frame.
Rice. 11-11. Measuring clearance on medium tires
Rice. 11-12. Measuring clearance on medium tires
11.3.9 Removing Argo rubber tracks #825-50-1 and #625-50
Use a C-shaped jig to take the load off the track pin. Remove flat washer and cotter pin. Using a punch and a hammer, knock out the finger until you can take it with your hand and remove it from the hinge.
If the all-terrain vehicle will be operated at negative temperature outdoor air after the tracks are installed in a room with room temperature, the tire pressure will decrease. After the tires have cooled to outside temperature during operation, the tire pressure must be rechecked and adjusted.
Extreme CAUTION should be exercised when crossing ice-covered bodies of water. An all-terrain vehicle can fall through the ice and drown. Make sure drain holes are securely plugged. Do not overload the vehicle. If the ice starts to crack under the ATV, try backing up. When performing this maneuver, make sure that water does not flood the engine compartment. Refer to the Argo Owner's Manual for additional information on the safe operation of the ATV on the water.
In certain winter conditions, for example, with a sharp drop in temperature after warming, sludge (ice) can form on the tracks, and to such an extent that the all-terrain vehicle cannot move. Periodically clear snow and ice from axles and tracks to prevent icing.
WARNING
The maximum total carrying capacity of the Argo Frontier with rubber tracks in water is 135 kg and the Avenger 365 kg.
