Introduction
Land Pride welcomes you to its growing family of new
product owners. Gondo series trucks are heavy duty utility
vehicles that have been designed with care and built by
skilled workers using quality materials. Proper set-up,
maintenance and safe operating practices will help you
get years of satisfactory use from this vehicle.
Definitions
The following terms are used throughout this manual.
IMPORTANT: A special point of information related to
its preceding topic. Land Pride’s intention is that this
information should be read and noted before
continuing.
Safety First
Land Pride is fully aware of the need for safe operating
procedures around all of our equipment. We hope you will
make a sincere effort to put safety above all other
priorities. The Gondo is designed and built for serious
work, recreation and enjoyment; however, improper and
irresponsible operation could result in serious injury or
death. Since this is an off-road vehicle, operators will
seldom see the road safety and warning signs they are
accustomed to seeing on highways and public streets.
This places additional responsibility on the driver to
operate this vehicle well within the safe operational limits
and capabilities of the unit.
NOTE: A special point of information that the operator
must be aware of before continuing.

conveniently over extremely difficult or rough terrain.
The Gondo features center articulating power steering
coupled with a pivoting interactive frame for unexcelled
terrain hugging capability and maximum traction. Traction
capabilities are even further maximized with incorporation
of full-time shaft driven four-wheeled drive. The Gondo is
powered by the proven 624cc 20hp Kohler Command Pro
Series Engine and a fully automotive speed synchromesh
manual transmission. Engaging the eight-inch manual
clutch delivers power to the automotive grade front and
rear open differentials.

durable black satin powder paint finish. A certified rollover
protection system (ROPS) with seat belts is standard
equipment. (But may be left off by customer’s choosing.)
Terminology
The console body and optional cab are constructed of
extra tough fiberglass with an attractive gel coat finish. The
high capacity cargo beds are made of welded and formed

Section 2 Important Safety Information
▲ Never use this vehicle for racing. This vehicle is designed
to achieve ground speeds up to 17mph. Any unauthorized
modifications intended to increase the ground speed of
this vehicle above 17mph may result in cancellation of the
vehicle warranty and may be in direct violation of laws
regulating current air quality standards.
▲ Use extreme caution when cresting hills or when visibility
is limited. Proceed slowly until you are sure trail
conditions immediately ahead are safe.
▲ Keep front wheels straight when cresting hills or going
over bumps.
▲ Do not stop, start suddenly or over accelerate on hills.
▲ Avoid sudden stops, starts and turns.
Loss of control and rollover could result.
▲ Be aware of cargo shifting when stopping or moving.
Make sure all cargo is properly secured and tied down.
Injury could result from loose cargo.
▲ Use extreme caution when descending hills, running on
loose slippery surfaces, or when towing at maximum
capacity. Towing, braking and tractive capabilities are
greatly diminished.
▲ Do not operate vehicle while drinking or under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
o
▲ Do not operate vehicle on slopes over 15 .
▲ Always make sure vehicle pathway is clear of all objects
when backing up. Know location of persons around
vehicle and especially location of small children. Take
extra precautions when rear view is hindered by cargo.
▲ Avoid changing direction or making sharp steering
corrections on slopes or rollover may occur.
▲ If this vehicle begins to tip when crossing a slope, turn the
front wheels downhill to regain stability and control.
▲ Do not exceed total payload capacity of this vehicle.
Over-loading can cause loss of control resulting in sever
injury or death.
▲ When crossing a slope on soft terrain, turn the front
wheels slightly uphill and maintain a constant speed to
maintain a straight line of travel.
▲ When descending hills or slopes apply steady pressure to
the foot brake to avoid potential freewheeling or runaway.
Do not shift vehicle out of gear. Take full advantage of
engine breaking.
▲ Do not pull a trailer or implement exceeding 2,500 lbs.

hitch that will produce negative tongue weight.
▲ If your vehicle loses power and stops on a hill,
immediately engage the foot brake. Press down on the
clutch and gently release brakes while backing slowly
down the hill maintaining a straight downhill line of travel.
Do not attempt to turn the vehicle sideways on the hill or a
rollover could result.
▲ Do not tow or pull the Gondo behind another vehicle
except to retrieve it a short distance from an area where a
trailer won’t go. The Gondo should be loaded on a trailer
for towing. Follow all towing instructions in this manual
when towing the Gondo.
▲ Do not use the vehicle as an anchor device.
▲ When traveling at night always use your headlights and
reduce speed according to visibility, trail and terrain
conditions.
▲ Beware, tow ropes, cables and chains can break when
pulling another vehicle or object causing serious injury or
death to anyone in line with the whipping action created
when they break. Never jerk when pulling, always ease
into a pull gently. Always stay clear of the tow line. Never
be in line with the tow line.
▲ Avoid water crossings when possible and never cross a
body of water where depth is unknown. Loss of power will
occur if engine becomes submerged or wet. Unnecessary
crossing of streams and waterways erodes shore line and
damages water-born habitat. If you must cross, do it at a
point where banks are not steep and proceed at a slow
and steady speed. Do not travel in water that is higher
than the floor board. Water higher than this can damage
the engine stalling the vehicle. However, intermittent
stream crossings where depth of water briefly comes into
contact with bottom of engine is acceptable. See "Going
▲ Reduce speed and payload on hilly, rough, wet, slick or
unstable ground.
▲ Reduce speed when loaded with cargo. Heavy cargo load
takes longer to stop.
▲ Always make turns at a speed that will maintain control of
vehicle. Never make turns at full speed. Reduce speed
when turning empty and reduce speed even more when
turning loaded. The heavier the cargo load, the slower the
turn should be.
▲ Front bumper, brush guards and cargo box are not
designed as pusher bars. Do not attempt to push other
vehicles or implements or damage may result.
▲ The certified ROPS (Roll Over Protection System) serves
only as a protection device. Always avoid rollovers.
▲ When refueling use a UL approved non-metallic container
that has no screen or filter. Set the container on the
ground before fueling to eliminate static discharge and do
not use Methanol fuel.
▲ Do not load ROPS with heavy equipment. Rollover could
result from such loading.
▲ Always park on level ground, stop engine, set park brake
and remove ignition key before leaving the vehicle. Chock
tires if condition warrants.

Section 4 Operating Instructions
Uneven Terrain
Driving Conditions
The Gondo’s center articulating steering enables the four
driving wheels to maintain contact in various uneven
terrain situations. Because of this, the vehicle is capable of
maneuvering over rough surfaces, up and down steep
inclines. Avoid operating on excessively steep hills and
especially on hills that are steeper than 15 degrees.
Terrains vary creating different driving situations. The
following are circumstances you might encounter and
suggestions on how to operate the Gondo safely. Always
approach each new situation with extreme caution until
you have become experienced in handling your vehicle.
We recommend for your safety and the safety of others
that you allow only operators experienced in driving a
standard transmission, understand all potential dangers of
operating this vehicle, has studied this manual, viewed the
video safety tape supplied with this vehicle and has
received actual hands-on instructions from an
experienced operator.
Climbing Steep Hills
Always approach a steep hill straight on in 1st (low gear) to
reduce engine strain and minimize stalling. Continue
straight up the hill in low gear moving right or left only to go
around obstacles. Do not attempt to turn the vehicle
around during a steep climb. If the vehicle stalls or should
you decide to stop the climb, place vehicle in reverse gear
and back down the hill slowly and as straight as possible to
a safe location. If needed, apply the brakes very lightly to
assist slowing down vehicle’s descent. Hard braking can
cause total loss of control and a rollover situation. Don’t
depress the clutch while backing down except when
bringing the vehicle to a complete stop.
Sandy Terrain
Tires with high air pressure perform better in loose sand.
Also, stay in low gear to avoid spinning the wheels. Always
maintain vehicle control, don’t make sharp turns and avoid
hard braking when possible.
Muddy Terrain
Better traction is achieved by accelerating the vehicle
slowly to avoid spinning the wheels. Making sharp turns
and hard braking can cause the vehicle to skid out of
control. Let up on the accelerator pedal and stop when
skidding out of control.
Maximum traction and control is achieved while traveling
up a steep incline in 1st gear at the lowest possible speed.
Also traveling slowly allows more time to correct a
dangerous situation.
Descending Steep Hills
Clean off mud residue stuck to rotating drive shafts and to
the tires as quickly as possible. Mud clinging to rotating
parts causes and imbalance that can damage vehicle
components. Also clean the brake drums of mud to reduce
premature brake wear.
!
WARNING
Do not descend a steep hill with rear cargo box removed.
Dangerous forward weight distribution is created.
Descend most hills straight down in 1st gear. When
necessary, use steady pressure on the brakes without
locking them up. Hard braking can cause total loss of
control and a rollover situation.
Watery Terrain
Always determine the depth of water before driving
through it. Do not drive through water that is higher than
the bottom of the floor board. Always enter the water
slowly and continue traveling slowly through the water to
minimize splashing. The vehicle could stall if the electrical
system gets wet. Never allow water to get up around the
engine. A wet engine is likely to stall or become damaged.
Always consider ground conditions and load distributions
as outlined below before descending a steep hill:
• Is the ground surface wet or dry? Wet surfaces can
result in loss of control and should not be attempted.
Test the brakes for stopping capabilities once through the
water. Allow the brakes to dry before proceeding if braking
capabilities are reduced. Brakes can be dried faster by
driving the vehicle slowly on a level surface while applying
light pressure to the brake pedal.
• Is the ground surface firm or loose? Loose surfaces can
result in loss of control and should not be attempted.
• Is the terrain fairly even or is it eroded and uneven with
holes and boulders? Surfaces that are not fairly even
can result in loss of control and should not be attempted.
• Can the descent be made fairly straight or will you be
required to turn to a degree that is approaching cross-
hill travel making the vehicle subject to imbalance and
turning over.
Snowy and Icy Terrain
Like muddy terrain, accelerate the vehicle slowly to avoid
spinning the wheels. Avoid making sharp turns and hard
braking. Let up on the accelerator pedal and stop when
skidding out of control. Always maintain a steady slow
speed allowing time to slow down and stop. Remember
slick surfaces require more time to slow down, make turns
and stops.
• Consider the vehicle’s center of gravity. Is it front heavy,
loaded high with cargo and is there a passenger along
adding weight over the front axle? The rear axle should
have sufficient weight over it to counter balance weight
distributed over the front axle. A vehicle with poor center
of gravity is subject to flipping forward end over end.

Section 4 Operating Instructions
• Is the vehicle approaching maximum load rating
capacity. Is the vehicle total loaded weight approaching
maximum rated gross weight? Too much weight can
reduce operator’s ability to brake and control the
vehicle.
IMPORTANT: Owner assumes all responsibility and
liability resulting from towing the Gondo.
Towing Without a Trailer
The following precautions should be followed when towing
the Gondo behind a tractor or another vehicle:
• Is the vehicle towing a trailer and if so is the trailer
carrying a load approaching gross weight of the Gondo?
Again, too much trailer weight can reduce the operator’s
ability to brake and control the vehicle.
• Approved tow chain or rope must be securely attached
to the Gondo at a location that will not damage the
vehicle or come loose from the vehicle.
Traverse Traveling on Steep Hills
Cross a steep slope only if no other alternative exists.
When crossing, consider ground conditions and load
18. Make certain that the weight on the uphill side of the
vehicle is equal to or heavier than the weight on the
downhill side of the vehicle. Cross in 1st gear and if your
vehicle starts to tip over, turn the vehicle down hill quickly
to regain stability and control.
• The gear selector must be placed in neutral position.
• The park brake must be off.
• Someone must be steering the vehicle while it is being
towed for it to track properly.
• When possible, the engine should be running to operate
the power steering. If the engine will not run, the steering
will be very heavy and will eventually quit as oil is bled
from its steering sector.
• Do not tow the Gondo at speeds over 5 mph. Higher
speeds may result in loss of control and damage to the
Gondo, vehicle towing the Gondo and personnel.
Pulling Loads
The Gondo is capable of pulling a load weighing many
times more than its own weight. Because of this it is
important that you know the vehicle’s capability and how to
operate it in a way that will not damage the vehicle or injure
yourself or others. Always consider the following:
• Do not tow another trailer or vehicle behind a Gondo that
is being towed.
• Do not tow the Gondo on roadways or across open
areas accessible with a trailer. Instead, load the vehicle
onto a trailer for towing.
• Does the load exceed the recommend towing capacity?
Too much weight will push the vehicle around and
hinder its stopping capabilities.
Towing Loaded on a Trailer
The Gondo may be driven or winched onto a trailer. The
following precautions should be followed when loading
and towing the Gondo on a trailer:
• Is the load front heavy placing too much weight on the
hitch? Excessive hitch weight will make the front wheels
light on the ground causing you to loose steering and
traction capabilities.
• Always make certain loading ramps are capable of
supporting the Gondo’s weight, properly spaced for the
Gondo wheels and secured to the trailer before loading
the Gondo.
• What type of terrain is the load being pulled over? Is the
ground soft, wet, dry or inclined. Any of these can hinder
• Two people should be present when loading the vehicle.
One stands clear of the Gondo as he guides the vehicle
up the ramps and onto the trailer. The other sits in the
Gondo and steers the vehicle as it is being loaded.
When towing always start in 1st gear and shift to a higher
gear only if the vehicle has sufficient power. Do not travel
in a gear that can not control the load. Heavy loads should
be towed in 1st or 2nd gear depending on their ability to
hold the load back from pushing the vehicle when letting
up on the accelerator pedal. Remember, the heavier the
load the longer it takes for the brakes to stop the vehicle.
• Drive or winch vehicle onto the trailer slowly to prevent
accidents.
• Once loaded, turn the switch key off, set park brake and
place transmission in 1st gear.
• Properly secure the vehicle at its four corners to the four
corners of the trailer with tie down chains or other
approved tie downs. Tie downs must be designed to
withstand forces induced into them during acceleration,
making turns and applying brakes.
Towing the Gondo
The Gondo should be loaded on a trailer for towing.
However, it can be towed behind a tractor or another
vehicle for a short distance to retrieve it from an area
where a trailer won’t go.
• Always tow at a speed where the driver is in control of
his vehicle at all times.
• Always allow enough traveling distance to slow down
and stop. The Gondo’s added weight to the trailer will
require additional time and distance to slow down.
IMPORTANT: Do not tow the Gondo at speeds over 5
mph. Higher speeds may result in loss of control and
damage to the Gondo, vehicle towing the Gondo and
personnel.
• Slow down when turning to prevent loss of control and
rollovers.

Section 4 Operating Instructions
Plan Your Gear
• Do not allow anyone to ride in the Gondo while towing it
on a trailer.
1. Check the short and long range weather forecast and
take protective gear and clothing to cover all
contingencies. It doesn’t have to snow for you to fall
victim to hypothermia or exposure. Take or wear
appropriate eye and head protection, gloves, boots, a
long sleeve shirt, long pants, a jacket, rain gear, dry
socks and a full change of dry clothing.
• Obey all state and local laws for towing.
Traveling Tips From the Trail Masters
At Land Pride we want you to get maximum working and
recreational enjoyment out of your utility vehicle whether
you are using one of our All-Terrain Runabouts or one of
our terrain hugging Gondo utility trucks. If your work
project or recreational adventure is going to take you on an
extended ride deep into the wilderness or way out on the
prairie, you’ll need to seriously consider some of the
following tips from experienced pros about safety, gear,
clothing, supplies and driving techniques.
2. Plan your gear and gear up for the best and worst of
environmental conditions.
3. Pack a first aid kit, sunblocker, lip balm, water, insect
repellent, personal medications, tarp or tent, flash
light, survival knife, binoculars, camera, tool kit, rope,
duct tape, tow strap, winch or come-along, eating,
utensils, cooking utensils and high energy trail food.
4. Tie and lash down your gear and supplies securely.
Keep the bulk of the weight centered and mounted as
low as possible on the vehicle in order to maintain a
low center of gravity for safe and stable off-road travel.
Preparation and Planning
Do a complete equipment check as follows:
1. Make sure you have plenty of fuel and oil to make the
trip and then some.
Going Out on the Trail
1. Take it all in when hitting the trail but do it safely!
2. Make sure your tires have proper inflation, your lug
bolts are tight and that you have a spare and the tools
to change, repair and inflate a tire. Consider adding a
puncture sealant to your tires as a preventative
measure.
3. Check for any loose or missing parts and definitely
make those needed repairs before going anywhere. It
is especially important that you check steering,
braking, throttle, electrical and engine components
thoroughly.
2. Make sure you brief your passenger on proper safety
procedures like keeping hands, arms, feet and other
bodily appendages inside the vehicle. Passengers
should only be transported in factory supplied seating.
3. Operator and passenger are responsible for deciding
if their situation warrants using Seat Belts.
4. Avoid operating on excessively steep hills and
especially on hills that are steeper than 15 degrees.
Avoid crossing slopes if possible and don’t make
sharp uphill steering corrections or a rollover could
result. If your vehicle starts to tip over on a slope turn
the front wheels quickly down hill to regain stability
and control. The best way to climb most hills is to drive
straight up while maintaining a steady ground speed
and constant engine rpm. The best way to descend
most hills is straight down while using steady pressure
on the brakes without locking them up. Locking up the
brakes in a steep downhill situation can result in loss
of traction, steering and control. When you must cross
a slope on soft terrain, keep the front wheels turned
slightly uphill and maintain a constant speed and a
straight line of travel.
5. Driving too fast, being inattentive and turning too
sharply on slippery surfaces can result in rollovers and
accidents almost quicker than any other ground
condition we know of. Snow cover, wet trails, loose
gravel and frozen ground can all contribute to this
dangerous condition. In these conditions maintain
sharp focus on the trail ahead. Don’t make sharp turns
and avoid the need for hard braking if at all possible.
Slow down and stop If you do start to slide.
Plan Your Route
1. Plan your route, destination and rendezvous points
before starting out.
2. Don’t go it alone if at all possible. Taking someone
else along reduces the potential for loss of life or major
injury to inclement weather, animal attacks, or
accidents. Besides, it’s more fun when you have
someone to share the adventure with.
3. Obtain trail or area maps of your travel routes to and
from your destination. Communicate your travel plans
to responsible friends and or proper authorities. Plan
rendezvous points at conspicuous landmarks along
your route just in case you run into unexpected trouble
on the trail.
4. Make sure you take a weather radio and two-way
communication devices such as cell phones or long
range-two way radios. It is also good to have ground
flares, a flare gun, a smoke canister, emergency
strobe light, a reflecting mirror, matches for a signal
fire and a compass.

Section 4 Operating Instructions
6. Avoid paved surfaces. Land Pride vehicles are
designed exclusively for off-road use only. We
understand that occasionally operators have to cross
public roads or right of ways to gain access to work or
recreation sites, but don’t get in the way of faster traffic
and cross quickly and safely.
9. Whenever possible, park your vehicle on a level
surface with the transmission in gear, set the park
brake and remove the key. If you do have to park on a
hillside make to sure chock the rear wheels on the
downhill side to prevent a roll away. It’s a good idea to
keep your spare key stashed separately.
7. The Gondo is capable of crossing intermittent
streams where the depth of the water briefly comes
into contact with the bottom of the floorboards, but you
must keep these considerations in mind; You must
know how deep the water is and the strength of the
current. Cross where you have a gradual incline for
entry and exit and the bottom is fairly clean and free of
obstacles. Maintain a slow steady speed disturbing
the stream bed as little as possible. If you submerge
the engine, you will lose forward momentum and
power. If you submerge the engine or the whole
vehicle, do not attempt to start the vehicle but take it to
your nearest dealer immediately. After intermittent
stream or shallow water crossings, dry out the brake
linings by slightly accelerating the engine rpm while
riding the brakes momentarily until full drive power
and braking are restored.
8. Backing up in an off-road situation might seem a
simple thing to do to a novice, but having to back down
a hill is a very dangerous situation. If you are on level
ground always look behind you and back up slowly. If
you find yourself having to back down a hill, apply the
brakes very lightly. Hard braking can cause total loss
of control and a rollover situation. Try to back straight
down the hill without turning. Turning in this situation
can also cause a rollover.
10. Never operate a vehicle under the influence of drugs
or alcohol. When you’re driving off-road vehicles you
need to keep your senses keen and capable of quick
reaction, sharp perception and good balance.
11. Working or recreation in the deep wilderness or on the
prairies can be personally rewarding and very
enjoyable to those who truly love and understand
nature and the outdoors. Good judgement, maturity,
proper preparation and planning can turn these
adventures into great experiences you’ll talk about for
a lifetime. Share these adventures with young people
whenever you can and show them how to do it
properly. Don’t let anyone under 16 operate this
vehicle. They just aren’t mature and experienced
enough to take on the serious responsibility of
operating a vehicle in the off-road environment
without the benefit of an experienced adult with them.
Remember, the only one who can prevent and avoid
an accident is the operator in control and that’s you!

Hydrogen gas forms inside the battery. This gas is both toxic
and flammable and may cause an explosion if exposed to a
flame.
Check water level once a year. The water level in each cell
should be up to the level indicator. If not, add water.
Distilled water should be used to fill each cell in the battery.
However, tap water may be used if tap water is not hard or
does not have high mineral or alkali content. Do not
overfill. Have the charging system checked by your local
Land Pride dealer if the battery requires water every few
months.
Major overhaul or repair of the starting motor or alternator
should be performed by trained technicians only.
Battery
The battery is located in the engine compartment. It may
be either a maintenance-free sealed battery or a
maintenance-free battery with removable vent caps.
Inspect your battery and know which battery your have.
Water can not be added to sealed batteries as the vent
caps are not removable.
Land Pride recommends a maintenance-free battery size
BCI group U1/U1R. The battery should also have a
minimum of 300 cold cranking AMP’s and 375 cranking
AMP’s at 32 F. Always follow the manufacturer’s
maintenance, safety, storing and charging specifications.

2. Install interface-sanding pad onto finishing sander.
Attach sanding film to Interface pad. (Take care in
centering sanding pad and film on sander.)
Steps to Repair
1. Clean entire area of repair. Clean water is fine for this
purpose. Do not use solvent as this will damage the
body surface.
3. Sand surface using about 45 P.S.I. air pressure at tool
inlet, do not sand at a high pad speed, because speed
causes the sanding film to load with dust and heats
the body surface. Proper sander pad speed is based
on cut and travel speed of pad, and downward
pressure applied by the operator. To clean sanding
pad surface, run sander face at 90 degrees on the
edge of a piece of cardboard. This cleaning operation
will help keep the sanding film clean and run cooler.
Continue to sand surface until original scratch

3. Spread compound on area of repair, use about as
much as it takes to cover a half-dollar coin, this is a
good starting point.
4. Set buffing tool to lowest possible speed on dial, do
not buff at a high speed as this will heat and warp
material.
5. Buff damage area until surface scuff disappears. A
second and third application of compound may be
required. Keep buffer moving over surface, this will
help keep the surface cool. Clean compound residue
off surface after each buffing operation. Do not
continue to buff compound until dry, or buff the surface
when dry. When all scuff marks have been buffed out
the surface may still appear a little dull, if so, proceed
to #6.
