and under engine, around and under tanks, inside
belt shields and guards, inside battery and tool

WARNING

The Bandit has only been run for a short time to
test proper hydraulic pressures, possible leaks, etc.
The fuel tank will be empty. Fuel is provided through
a small auxiliary tank for testing. This immensely
helps maintain safety in our manufacturing facility
and while shipping.
