SAFETY DECALS
Safety Decals located on your Bandit Chipper contain useful information to assist you in operating your
equipment safely. Some of the decals on your machine and their location are shown in this section.
It is very important that all decals remain in place and in good condition on your machine. Please follow the
care and instructions given below:
1) You should use soap and water to keep your decals clean. Never use mineral spirits or
any other abrasive cleaners.
2) Replace immediately any missing or damaged decals. The location the decal is going
to be applied to must be clean and dry, and at least 40° F (5°C) before applying decal.
3) When the need arises to replace a machine component with a decal attached, be sure
and replace the decal.
4) Replacement decals are available, and can be purchased from the manufacturer or
your Bandit Dealer.
5) Spanish, Portuguese and other foreign language decals are available.
