PAINT & DECAL CARE
To help keep up the appearance of your Bandit
equipment and reduce the possibility of surface rust
follow these steps:
1. The machine should be washed on a regular
basis with a non-abrasive mild detergent and
then rinsed thoroughly.
Do not pressure wash
sensitive areas
like: decals, gauges, electronic
devices, autofeed control, etc.
2. If a stone chip, paint scratch, or paint crack
occurs - it should be repaired immediately.
Simply sand the edges of the damaged paint
area, mask off the surrounding area, and apply
primer and paint to the dry, clean, and warm area.
This will keep the damaged area from spreading
or getting worse.
3. If you are unable to sand and mask the area,
there are containers of primer and paint
available. A small brush can be used to touch
up the area.
4. Also, primer and most colors of paint are
available in aerosol spray cans to simply spray
over the effected area after it is cleaned, dry, and
warmed. This method is not as reliable as the
process in step #2.
It is also reported that some equipment owners
polish their machine at least yearly, and keep good
mud flaps on their towing trucks to prolong the
machine’s paint.

DECAL CARE
Decals located on your Bandit equipment contain
useful information to assist you in operating your
equipment safely. The safety decals are shown and
explained in this section along with decal locations.
1. You should use soap and water to keep your
decals clean. Never use mineral spirits or any
other abrasive cleaners.
2. Immediately replace 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. Peel back about half of the backer paper on the
decal. Position it on the flat, dry, clean surface so
it is smooth and secure. Peel off the remainder
of the backer paper as you continue to stick the
decal on the surface.
6. Rub decal from the center outward to remove air
bubbles and to secure contact.
7. English/Spanish decals are typically standard.
Other foreign language decals are available
and may be purchased. Mail translated decals
required to Bandit Industries, Inc.
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.
