WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
PAINT CARE
It is also reported that some equipment owners polish their machine at least yearly, and keep good mud aps
on their towing trucks to prolong the machines paint.
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 o󰀨 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 e󰀨ected
area after it is cleaned, dry, and warmed. This method is not as reliable as the process in step #2.
