Driving Conditions
Terrains vary creating different driving situations. The
following are circumstances you might encounter and
suggestions onhow to operate the Gondo safely. Always
approach eachnew situation with extremecaution until
you have become experienced in handling your vehicle.
We recommend for your safetyand the safety of others
that you allowonly operatorsexperienced in driving a
standardtransmission,understand all potentialdangersof
operatingthisvehicle,has studiedthis manual, viewedthe
video safety tapesupplied with this vehicle and has
received actual hands-on instructions from an
experienced operator.
Sandy Terrain
Tires withhigh air pressure perform better in loose sand.
Also,stayin low gear to avoidspinningthewheels.Always
maintainvehiclecontrol,don’tmakesharpturnsandavoid
hard brakingwhen possible.
Muddy Terrain
Better tractionis achieved by accelerating the vehicle
slowly to avoid spinning the wheels. Making sharp turns
and hardbraking can cause the vehicle to skid out of
control. Letup on the accelerator pedal and stop when
skidding outof control.
Clean off mud residue stuck to rotatingdriveshafts and to
the tiresas quickly as possible.Mud clinging to rotating
parts causes and imbalance that can damage vehicle
components.Alsocleanthebrakedrums of mud to reduce
premature brake wear.
Watery Terrain
Always determine the depth of water before driving
through it.Do not drive through water that ishigher than
the bottomof the floor board. Always enter the water
slowly and continue traveling slowly through the water to
minimizesplashing. The vehiclecould stall iftheelectrical
system getswet. Never allow water to get uparound the
engine.A wet engine is likelyto stallor becomedamaged.
Test the brakes for stoppingcapabilities oncethrough the
water.Allow the brakestodry beforeproceedingif braking
capabilities arereduced. Brakescan be dried faster by
driving the vehicleslowly on a levelsurfacewhile applying
light pressureto the brake pedal.
Snowy and icy Terrain
Like muddy terrain, accelerate the vehicle slowlyto avoid
spinning thewheels. Avoid making sharp turns andhard
braking. Letup on the accelerator pedal and stopwhen
skidding outof control. Always maintaina steady slow
speed allowing time to slow down and stop. Remember
slicksurfacesrequiremore time toslow down, make turns
and stops.
Uneven Terrain
The Gondo’s centerarticulating steering enables the four
driving wheels to maintain contact in various uneven
terrainsituations.Becauseof this, the vehicleiscapableof
maneuvering over rough surfaces, up and down steep
inclines. Avoid operatingon excessively steep hills and
especially onhills that are steeper than15 degrees.
Climbing Steep Hills
Alwaysapproach a steep hill straight on in 1st(lowgear)to
reduce enginestrain and minimize stalling. Continue
straightupthe hill in low gear moving rightorleftonly to go
around obstacles. Do not attempt to turn the vehicle
around during a steep climb. If thevehiclestalls or should
youdecide to stopthe climb,place vehicle inreverse gear
andbackdownthe hill slowly and as straight aspossibleto
a safe location. If needed,apply the brakes very lightly to
assist slowing downvehicle’sdescent. Hard braking can
cause totalloss of control and arollover situation. Don’t
depress theclutch while backing down except when
bringing the vehicle to a complete stop.
Maximum traction and control is achieved whiletraveling
upa steep incline in1st gearat thelowest possible speed.
Also traveling slowly allows more time to correct a
dangerous situation.

Descending Steep Hills
!
WARNING
Do not descend a steep hill with rear cargo box removed.
Dangerous forward weight distribution is created.
Descend mosthills 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 anda rollover situation.
Always consider ground conditions and load distributions
as outlinedbelow before descending a steep hill:
• Is the ground surface wet or dry? Wet surfaces can
result inloss of control and shouldnot be attempted.
• Is the groundsurface firmorloose? Loose surfaces can
result inloss of control and shouldnot be attempted.
• Is theterrain fairly even or is it eroded and uneven with
holes andboulders? Surfaces that are notfairly even
canresult in loss of controland shouldnot be attempted.
• Can the descent be made fairly straight or will you be
required toturn to a degree thatis approaching crosshill travelmaking the vehicle subject toimbalance and
turning over.
• Consider the vehicle’s center ofgravity. Isit frontheavy,
loaded highwith cargo and is therea passenger along
adding weight over the frontaxle? The rear axle should
have sufficientweight overit tocounter balanceweight
distributedoverthefrontaxle.A vehicle with poor center
of gravityis subject to flipping forwardend over end.
• Is the vehicle approaching maximum load rating
capacity. Is thevehicletotal loaded weightapproaching
maximum ratedgross weight? Too much weightcan
reduce operator’sability to brake and controlthe
vehicle.
• Is the vehicle towing a trailer and if so is the trailer
carryingaloadapproachinggrossweightoftheGondo?
Again,toomuchtrailer weight can reduce the operator’s
ability tobrake and control the vehicle.
Traverse Traveling on Steep Hills
Cross asteep slope only if noother alternative exists.
When crossing,consider ground conditions and load
distributions outlined in "DescendingSteep Hills" onpage
18. Make certain thatthe weighton the uphill side ofthe
vehicle is equal toor heavierthan the weight on the
downhill side of the vehicle. Crossin 1st gear and if your
vehicle starts to tip over,turn the vehicle down hillquickly
to regainstability and control.
Pulling Loads
The Gondois capable of pulling a load weighing many
times morethan its own weight. Because of thisit is
important thatyouknowthevehicle’scapabilityandhow to
operateitinawaythat willnotdamagethevehicleorinjure
yourself or others. Always consider the following:
• Does the loadexceed therecommendtowingcapacity?
Too muchweight will push the vehiclearound and
hinder itsstopping capabilities.
• Is the load front heavy placing too much weight on the
hitch?Excessive hitch weight will makethe front wheels
light onthe ground causing you toloose steering and
traction capabilities.
• What type ofterrainis the loadbeingpulled over? Isthe
groundsoft,wet,dry or inclined. Any of these can hinder
vehicle control.See "Descending Steep Hills" onpage
18 whenconsidering type of terrain.
When towing always start in1st gear and shift toa higher
gear onlyif thevehicle hassufficient power. Do not travel
ina gear that cannotcontrolthe load. Heavy loads should
be towed in1st or 2nd gear dependingon their ability to
hold theload backfrom pushing the vehicle when letting
up onthe accelerator pedal. Remember, the heavier the
load thelonger it takes forthe brakesto stop the vehicle.
Towing the Gondo
The Gondoshould be loaded on atrailer for towing.
However, it can be towed behind a tractor or another
vehicle for a short distanceto retrieve it from an area
where atrailer won’tgo.
IMPORTANT: Owner assumes all responsibility and
liability resulting from towing the Gondo.
IMPORTANT: Donot tow the Gondo atspeeds o ver 5
mph. Higher speeds may result in loss of control and
damage to the Gondo, vehicle towing the Gondo and
personnel.
Towing Without a Trailer
Thefollowingprecautions shouldbe followedwhentowing
the Gondobehind a tractor or another vehicle:
• Approved tow chain or rope must besecurely attached
to theGondo at a location thatwill not damage the
vehicle orcome loose from the vehicle.
• 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 forit to track properly.
• Whenpossible, the engine should be running to operate
thepowersteering.Ifthe engine will not run,thesteering
will bevery heavy and will eventuallyquit as oil is bled
from itssteering sector.
• Do nottow the Gondo at speedsover 5 mph.Higher
speeds mayresult inloss of control and damage to the
Gondo, vehicletowing the Gondo and personnel.
• Donottowanothertrailerorvehiclebehind a Gondo that
is beingtowed.
• Do not tow the Gondo on roadways or across open
areas accessible witha trailer. Instead,load the vehicle
onto atrailer for towing.

Towing Loaded on a Trailer
The Gondomay bedriven or winched onto a trailer.The
following precautions should be followedwhen loading
and towing the Gondo on a trailer:
• Always make certain loading ramps are capable of
supporting the Gondo’s weight, properly spaced forthe
Gondo wheels and secured tothe trailerbefore loading
the Gondo.
• Twopeopleshouldbepresentwhenloadingthevehicle.
One stands clearofthe Gondo ashe guides thevehicle
up theramps and onto the trailer.The other sits in the
Gondo andsteers the vehicle as itis being loaded.
• Drive or winch vehicle onto the trailer slowly to prevent
accidents.
• Once loaded, turnthe switchkeyoff, set parkbrake and
place transmissionin 1st gear.
• Properly secure the vehicleat itsfour cornersto thefour
corners ofthe trailer with tie downchains or other
approved tiedowns. Tie downs must bedesigned to
withstand forces inducedintothem during acceleration,
making turnsand applying brakes.
• Always tow at a speed where the driver is in control of
his vehicleat all times.
• Always allow enough traveling distance to slow down
and stop.The Gondo’s added weight tothe trailer will
require additionaltime and distance to slowdown.
• Slow down when turning to prevent loss of control and
rollovers.
• Do not allowanyone to ridein the Gondowhile towing it
on atrailer.
• Obey all state and local laws for towing.
Traveling Tips From the Trail Masters
At LandPride we want you to get maximum working and
recreational enjoyment outof yourutility vehiclewhether
you are using oneof our All-Terrain Runaboutsor one of
our terrainhugging Gondo utility trucks. If your work
projectorrecreationaladventureis going to takeyouonan
extended ride deep into the wilderness orway out on the
prairie, you’ll needto seriously consider some ofthe
following tips from experienced pros about safety, gear,
clothing, suppliesand driving techniques.
Preparation and Planning
Do acomplete equipment check as follows:
1. Make sure youhaveplenty of fuel and oilto make the
trip and then some.
2. Make sure your tires have proper inflation, your lug
bolts are tightandthat you havea spare andthetools
to change, repairand inflate atire. Consider addinga
puncture sealantto your tires as a preventative
measure.
3. Check for any loose or missing parts and definitely
makethose needed repairsbeforegoinganywhere.It
is especiallyimportant that you checksteering,
braking, throttle, electrical and engine components
thoroughly.
Plan Your Route
1. Plan your route,destination and rendezvous points
before starting out.
2. Don’t goit alone if at allpossible. Takingsomeone
elsealongreducesthepotentialforloss of lifeormajor
injury to inclement weather,animal attacks, or
accidents. Besides, it’smore fun when you have
someone toshare the adventure with.
3. Obtain trailor area maps of your travel routes to and
from your destination. Communicate your travelplans
to responsible friends and or proper authorities. Plan
rendezvous points at conspicuouslandmarks along
yourroutejustincaseyourunintounexpectedtrouble
on thetrail.
4. Make sure you take a weather radio andtwo-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, matchesfor asignal
fire anda compass.
Plan Your Gear
1. Check the shortand longrangeweather forecast and
take protective gear and clothing tocover all
contingencies. It doesn’t have to snow for you tofall
victim tohypothermia or exposure. Take or wear
appropriate eye and headprotection, gloves, boots, a
long sleeve shirt, longpants, a jacket, rain gear, dry
socks and a fullchange of dry clothing.
2. Plan your gear and gear up for the best and worst of
environmental conditions.
3. Packa 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.
Keepthe bulk of the weight centered and mounted as
low as possible on the vehicle in order to maintain a
lowcenter of gravityforsafeand stable off-road travel.
Going Out on the Trail
1. Take it all in when hitting the trail but do it safely!
2. Make sure you brief your passenger on proper safety
procedures like keeping hands, arms, feet and other
bodily appendages inside the vehicle. Passengers
shouldonly be transportedinfactory supplied seating.
3. Operator and passenger are responsible for deciding
if their situation warrants using Seat Belts.

4. Avoidoperating on excessively steep hills and
especially on hills that are steeper than 15 degrees.
Avoidcrossing 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
andcontrol.The best waytoclimbmost hills is to drive
straight up while maintaining a steady ground speed
and constant engine rpm. The best way to descend
mosthillsisstraightdownwhile using steady pressure
on the brakes without locking them up. Locking up the
brakes in a steep downhill situation can result in loss
oftraction,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
sharplyonslipperysurfacescanresultin rolloversand
accidents almost quicker than any other ground
condition we know of. Snow cover, wet trails, loose
graveland frozen ground can all contribute to this
dangerous condition. In these conditions maintain
sharpfocusonthetrailahead. 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.
6. Avoidpaved surfaces. Land Pride vehicles are
designed exclusively for off-road use only.We
understand that occasionally operators have to cross
publicroads or right of ways to gain access to work or
recreationsites,butdon’tgetinthewayof fastertraffic
and cross quickly and safely.
7. The Gondo is capable of crossing intermittent
streams where the depth of the water briefly comes
intocontactwiththebottomofthefloorboards,butyou
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 bottomis 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,donotattempttostart the vehiclebuttakeit 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
simplethingtodotoanovice,buthavingto 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.
9. Wheneverpossible, park your vehicle on a level
surface with the transmission in gear, set the park
brakeand 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.
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. Workingorrecreationinthedeepwilderness 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
adventuresinto great experiencesyou’ll talk about for
a lifetime. Share these adventures with young people
wheneveryou 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!

Introduction
Land Pride Gondo bodies are constructed of fiberglass.
Scuffs, light scratches and deep gouges are in most
situations repairable. Land Pride recommends that you
use a professional body shop to restore your vehicle’s
body. For your consideration, we have provided below a
listof recommended tools, materialsandsteps suggested
for repairing the fiberglass body.
NOTE:LandPride does not supply the required tools,
paint and materialsneeded to repair the vehiclebody.
All tools, paint and materials should be purchased
locally.
Light Scuff
Required Tools and Materials
(See note above)
• 1,000 rpm buffing tool, DeWalt #849
• Meguiars buffing compound #8432
• Meguiars polish #8232 (optional)
• Meguiars maroon cutting pad #W-7006
• Meguiars tan polishing pad #W-9006 (optional)
• Meguiars backing plate #W-64
• Soft clean cotton cloths
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.
2. Install cutting pad #7006 on buffer (maroon pad).
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
continuetobuffcompounduntildry,orbuffthesurface
when dry. When all scuff marks have been buffed out
the surface may still appear a little dull, if so, proceed
to #6.
6. Install polish on surface as in step #3.
7. Spread #8232 polish on surface as in step #3.
8. Polish to a high luster or as required to match
surrounding material.
9. Wipe clean with soft clean cloth; any dirt on cloth will
mar surface.
Scratch
Required Tools and Materials
(See note to left)
• 1,000 rpm buffing tool, DeWalt #849
• Meguiars buffing compound #8432
• Meguiars polish #8232 (optional)
• Meguiars maroon cutting pad #W-7006
• Meguiars tan polishing pad #W-9006 (optional)
• Meguiars backing plate #W-64
• Soft clean cotton cloths
• 3M interface sanding pad #05774
• Air Vantage finishing sander with 6-inch hook and loop
pad
• 3M-P800 sanding film #00970
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.
2. Install interface-sanding pad onto finishing sander.
Attach sanding film to Interface pad. (Take care in
centering sanding pad and film on sander.)
3. Sand surfaceusing about 45 P.S.I. air pressure at tool
inlet,donot sand at a high padspeed, 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
damage is no longer visible. Wipe the surface with a
cloththeninspectto be sure the entire originalscratch
has been fully sanded away (very important).
4. Install cutting pad #7006 on buffer (maroon pad).
5. Spreadcompound #8432 on area of repair,useabout
