MODEL 200 UC
Consult your engine manual for proper break‑in procedures. Various engines require somewhat different
procedures, but basically the engines need to operate at lower R.P.M.’s and loads for a specific time.
Failure to properly break‑in your engine may result in poor bearing and piston ring surfaces.
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.
Do not let anyone operate or maintain this machine until they have thoroughly read this manual, reviewed
the equipment decals, watched the equipment video, and has been properly trained. You can purchase
additional Bandit manuals, decals and videos for a nominal fee.
Expensive damage to the Bandit will occur if proper preparation is not taken before welding on the machine.
Be sure to disconnect both battery cables and the engine ECM (engine control module) before welding. Follow
the specific Engine MFG. instructions for proper welding and grounding procedures, before attempting to weld
on the machine. If welding on the machine, do not ground the welder through the machine bearings, ground
near work to be performed.
