General ARGO Questions

Can the vehicle be transported on a pick-up truck?

Yes, provided there is a ramp over the wheel wells. Even the 8x8 ARGOs fit into a full-size (8-foot long) pick-up truck box.

Can the vehicle operate on water as well as on land?

Yes, all ARGO models are fully amphibious and can be driven into the water without any special preparation. Please see the "Operator's Manual" and the "Operator's Video" that come with your ARGO for water use precautions.

How does the ARGO perform in sand

The ARGO's very low ground pressure allows it to navigate very well over sand.

How does the ARGO perform on Ice?

The Argo weighs much less per square inch than we do on our feet. The weight is spread over a very large area. Argo vehicles can traverse ice with little difficulty. If the vehicle does fall through, remember, it is a boat and you are going to float dry and safe.

How does the vehicle perform on snow?

Using one of the optional track systems, the ground pressure of the vehicle can be reduced down to an extremely low 0.7 psi, even fully loaded. This allows the ARGO to operate on top of snow like a person on snowshoes.

↑ top

How many wheels drive the vehicle?

All models are `All-Wheel Drive`. At no time are any of our axles allowed to `free-wheel`. This means that the operator has complete control of all 6 or 8 wheels, all the time.

↑ top

How much load can the vehicle carry?

The 8x8`s have a maximum payload capacity of 1,150 lb. on land or 6 adults. In water, it carries 4 adults or a maximum of 1000 lb. The 6x6`s have a payload capacity of 700 lb. or 2 adults and 2 children. In water, it carries 2 adults or 500 lb..
↑ top

What depth of water can the ARGO travel through?

Since the ARGO floats, there is no limit to the depth of the water it can go in, as long as it is calm, normal boating safety precautions are observed, and safety equipment is on board.
↑ top

What is the top speed on land?

Depending on load and terrain the top speed for 8x8 models varies between 18-20 mph and for the 6x6 models between 20-23 mph. In the terrain that the ARGO is designed for, high speed is not an issue.

What is the top speed on water?

The web of the tires propel the ARGO at about walking speed or roughly 2.5 to 3.5 mph. You can use an outboard motor of up to 9.9 hp for extensive water travel or higher speeds.
↑ top

What type of fuel does the ARGO use?

All models use regular unleaded gasoline. Diesel models of the ARGO are not available, however, the Centaur TD utilizes a Turbocharged Diesel engine.

Why is it so hard to find a dealer?

It is not! You have found us :-) We would love to be your ARGO dealer

Powerwise Charger Questions

My batteries are completely dead, how do I get the charger to turn on?

You need to charge the batteries individually with an automotive charger until they produce enough voltage for the charger to turn on. You can also use jumper cables to connect your battery pack with another cart. The current will pass from the other cart to yours and show the charger enough voltage to turn on.

My batteries are dead and my charger won't turn on

The powerwise charger must read an appropriate voltage from the battery before it will turn on. If the batteries are dead, the charger doesn't know what it is hooked to, and won't start
↑ top

My batteries are not dead and my charger won't turn on

Usually this means that the 50 amp DC fuse is blown. If you find the fuse blown, you will need to test the diodes. If the diodes failed, the fuse blows. The diodes should show open when tested with a continuity tester. Replace the diodes as necessary and then change the fuse.
↑ top

My charger is overcharging my batteries.

The charge rate is controlled by a control board located inside the case, if the charger won't stop charging when the batteries are fully charged, the control board may be bad.
↑ top

My charger plug gets hot when I am charging the battery

This is usually caused by corrosion or bad connections in the charge plug handle. Open it up and inspect the connections. If you see a darkening of the terminals or corrosion, replace the contacts and tighten up the screws. Make sure you do not loose the magnet when you open the handle. It has to be in there to activate the reed switch on the golf cart.

My charger turns on, but won't show a charge on the meter

If the charger clicks on and the meter does not show a charge, it may be the meter, but more likely it is the capacitor. The capacitor is what turns down the charge rate as the batteries reach full charge.
↑ top

My cords are cracked or frayed, can I fix them?

Sure, just take them out of the case and cut the frayed portion off, re-install the proper terminals, replace the cord in the stress reliefs and reinstall the cords.
↑ top

The fuse is ok, the diodes are ok, and my charger still won't turn on

If the fuse is good, the diodes check ok and the batteries are not dead, The control board is probably faulty

Where do I get parts for my Powerwise Charger?

You can find most of the parts right here on this website, There are a lot more charger parts on our other website www.ezgolfcart.com
