The purpose of this manual is to provide the user with speci cations and procedures for the
operation, maintenance and repair of this BANDIT product. As with any piece of equipment, safety
should always be a constant thought while the machine is being operated, serviced or stored.
In order to highlight this consideration, the material which addresses safety is proceeded by the
following signal words:

standards. This alone does not prevent injury. It is the operator’s responsibility to use good
judgement and follow the warnings and instructions as indicated in this manual, on the machine
and follow all safety standards per ANSI and OSHA instructions.
Improper use of the product can result in severe personal injury. Personnel using the equipment
must be quali ed, trained and familiar with the operating procedures as de ned in this manual,
prior to operating the product.
It is the responsibility of the owner or employer to ensure that the operator is trained and practices
safe operation while using and servicing the machine. It is also the owner’s responsibility to provide
and follow a regularly scheduled preventative maintenance and repair program on the product,
using only factory approved replacement parts. Any unapproved repairs or modi cations may
not only damage the machine and its performance, but could result in severe personal injury.
Unapproved repairs or modi cations will void warranty and eliminate manufacturer of any liability
claims. Consult the equipment manufacturer with any questions.
Each machine is shipped with a manual, a customer’s check sheet on the product, and any
available parts & service manuals on component parts not produced by this manufacturer.
Additional copies of these manuals and check sheets can be purchased from the manufacturer,

through the engine manufacturer or their dealer.
The producer of this Bandit product reserves the right to make any modi cations or revisions to

resolve the issue. If you are unable to do this or need additional assistance, please contact the

initiated through and facilitated by Bandit Industries or the authorized dealer.

credits may be issued only if the claim forms are completed and all defective parts requested to
be returned have been returned to the requested location.

customer or dealer for defect repairs. No reimbursement will be considered without prior approval
from the manufacturer. The hours allowed for repair will be determined by Bandit Industries.

“bolt-on” or “slip-on” items, such as hydraulic pumps and motors, control valves,  ow dividers,
belts, sheaves, etc. The manufacturer will provide replacement parts to the customer for defective
parts during the warranty period. Please keep the defective parts as you may need to return
them for warranty consideration. A Bandit representative will issue a RMA (Return Merchandise
Authorization) and contact the customer if the defective parts need to be returned.

replacement parts or returned defective parts during the warranty period without prior approval.

agrees to install them.

from the manufacturer. It is the customer’s responsibility to deliver the machine to dealer’s service
facility unless the authorized dealer agrees to assist with machine transportation.

has not been submitted. The Warranty Validation Form can be mailed in or e-mailed to
[email protected].
Prior to delivery to  nal owner and during storage, this machine
must
be serviced and lubricated
to avoid damage that will
not be covered under warranty, see “Maintenance” section.
Any damage or equipment failure due to incorrect or incomplete service or maintenance by
the equipment owner will
not be covered under warranty.
