Available Service Manuals Part number 670-00 ------- Service Manual for Models prior to 1977. Part Number 673-00-------- Service Manual for Models to 1986 Part Number 673-01-------- Service Manual for 1987 Models Part Number 673-02-------- Service Manual Supplement for NKB Models (1988) This edition of the ARGO Service Manual contains information and servicing procedures for models produced from 1992, when the 16H.P and then in 1995 the 18 H.P " V" Twin Briggs & Stratton Vanguard engines were introduced to our vehicle line up. Also covered, is the 8x8 Conquest model powered by the 20 H.P Kawasaki FD620D Liquid cooled engine which was introduced in 1993 & The Avenger Argo model, introduced in January of 2004. Although many parts and service procedures outlined in the 673-04 Service Manual also pertain to Avenger, additional supplement sections have been created in order to cover parts and procedures unique to Avenger (See supplement part number above). The service manuals 673-00, 673-01 and 673-02 Supplement, can be used for Magnum models prior to 1995. Although the 673-02 supplement indicates coverage up until 1988 only for V888 & V688 models, the servicing procedures in both earlier manuals are still applicable to the Magnum models produced from 1988 to 1994. However, attention should be payed to the appropriate Magnum parts manual for these later years of vehicle production to identify any changes that may have been made to components until the Response was introduced in 1995.

Do NOT use an Argo 6x6 in water when equipped with a ROPS. The in- creased weight of the snow plow out front or the top-heavy weight of the ROPS on the 6x6 will make the Argo unstable and could cause the vehicle to capsize, causing injury or drowning to the driver and passen- gers. Vehicle capacity includes occupants, cargo, fuel, and all accessories. Capacity for occupants and cargo is reduced by the weight of accessories as shown in the chart below. Available vehicle capacity must be reduced if your vehicle is equipped with any accessories. Reduce the available capacity by the total weight of accessories fitted to your vehicle Ontario Drive & Gear Limited has been building ARGO vehicles since 1967. By listening carefully to our customers and responding to their needs, we have been constantly improving the ARGO and will continue to do so. A MESSAGE FROM THE PEOPLE WHO BUILD THE ARGO
