Keep fingers clear of tongue swiveling components.

11.20 HEATER KIT - Conquest (Part No. 848-10)

The heater kit includes a conventional automotive style hot
coolant heater core with 2 speed fan to circulate the warm air
through the ducts to the right side of the driver's compartment
and the windshield. In some operating conditions, ie. high
humidity or full passenger load, defrosting the windshield and
side panel windows may not be effective.
When the heater is not required, the heater valve should be
closed, diverting all of the coolant through the engine radia-
tor.
In extremely cold weather and operating at low load, the heater
may perform like a second radiator and keep the engine from
reaching proper operating temperature. Under these condi-
tions, a piece of cardboard or similar material should be used
to partially cover the engine radiator.
The 850-40 Alternator is essential to provide the electrical
power to operate the heater fan and maintain the battery charge
rate.

11.21 ROLL OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES

(Part Nos. 848-40-2, 848-40-4 & 648-40)
Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS) are designed for use
on all Argo models. Part No. 848-40-2 provides roll over pro-
tection and lap belts for the driver and front seat passenger of
all Argo 8 x 8 models. Part No. 848-40-4 provides roll over
protection and lap belts for driver, front seat passenger and
two passengers in the optional rear bench seat (Part No. 849-
60). Part No. 648-40 provides roll over protection and lap
belts for driver and front seat passenger of all Argo 6 x 6
models.
The ROPS design provides reasonable protection from injury
in the event of a rollover. DO NOT rely on it to protect the
occupants from irresponsible driving.
The ROPS has been designed to meet the requirements of the
Occupational Health and Safety Act - Regulation 856 'Roll-
Over Protection Structures' for the Province of Ontario,
Canada.
SECTION 11
ACCESSORY INFORMATION
50
Seat belts must be properly adjusted and worn by all
occupants at all times EXCEPT when operating in wa-
ter. Never carry more people in the vehicle than there
are seat belts for.
Articles must not be placed on top of the ROPS.
Use caution when traveling on uneven ground; the ROPS
reduces vehicle stability.
No part of the ROPS shall be drilled, welded or altered
in any way without the manufacturer's authorization.
Do not exceed maximum gross vehicle weight of 907 kg
(2000 lbs.)
Use caution when traveling tree-lined trails. Branches
could be knocked down, causing injury to the vehicle
occupants.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE COULD
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
DO NOT use the ROPS as an attachment point for tow-
ing or winching the Argo.
Check fastener tightness annually. Inspect for and re-
place any damaged or worn parts of the ROPS and the
seat belts.

11.22 REAR BENCH SEAT (Part No. 849-60)

This bench seat assembly is similar to the front bench seat
design, providing a back rest and more comfort for two per-
sons riding in the rear compartment of any current Argo 8 x 8
model. The seat cushion and back rest are easily removed to
use the rear compartment for cargo.
Always ensure that the spring loaded pull pin (Part No.
849-72) on each side is fully engaged after installing
the seat. Pull the seat hard to ensure that it is secured
properly.
Never attach a tow line to the handrail of the seat back
rest.
When a roll over protection structure (ROPS) is installed,
seat belts must be installed for rear bench seat passen-
gers and used properly.
