Engine Maintenance

General Information

Detailed instructions and recommendations for break-in and regular maintenance are specified in the engine operator’s manual. Engine warranty is backed by the engine manufacturer. Please refer to engine manufacturer’s manual for engine servicing, lubricating oil levels, oil quality and viscosity recommendations, bolt torques, etc. Special attention should be paid to applicable data that is not duplicated here.

High Altitude Carburetor Kit

IMPORTANT: The air-fuel mixture in carburetors modified for high elevation is too lean when operating at elevations below 5,000 feet. Operating engines with modified carburetors below 5,000 feet can result in engine overheating and serious engine damage. Return carburetor to original factory specifications when operating at low elevations.

Gondo vehicles shipped from the factory are equipped with carburetors designed to operate efficiently between 0 and 4,999 feet. Carburetor change over kits for different altitudes may be purchased from your nearest Land Pride Dealer. The following kits are available:

Power Steering Belt

Refer to Figure 6-6& Figure 6-7

Power steering belt and pump are positioned behind the engine and are protected by a shield. Do not remove shield except to service the belt and always replace shield after servicing the belt.

Replace power steering belt when it shows signs of severe cuts, tears, excessive weather checking and cracking or burns caused by slipping. Slight raveling of belt covering does not indicate failure. Trim ravelings with a sharp knife.

Inspect belt pulley grooves and flanges for wear. A new belt, or one in good condition, should never run against bottom of pulley groove. Replace pulley when this is the case, otherwise belt will lose power and slip excessively.

Never pry a belt to get it on a pulley as this will cut or damage the fibers of the belt covering.

Keep oil and grease away from belts and never use belt dressings. Any of these will destroy the belt composition in a very short time.

!CAUTION

Make certain to keep fingers from getting caught between belt and pulley when rotating belt over pulley.

Replace power steering belt as follows:

1.Prepare vehicle for maintenance as outlined in steps 1-6 on page 24.

2.Safely secure the seat console in the raised position.

3.Disconnect negative battery cable.

4.Safely secure cargo box and seat console in the up position to prevent injury.
