GENERAL INFORMATION
Decal locations information is provided to assist in
the proper selection and application of new decals, in
the event the original decals become damaged or the
machine is repainted.
For correct replacement of decals, compare the loca-
tion illustrations to your machine before starting to
refinish the unit. Check off each required decal using
the illustration reference number to find the part num-
ber, description and quantity in the list. Refer to the
appropriate illustrations for replacement locations.
If there is a decal on a part that is to be replaced, be
sure that the decal is applied to the replacement part.
NEW DECAL APPLICATION
Before applying the new decals, surfaces must be free
from dirt, dust, grease and other foreign material. To
apply a solid-formed decal, remove the smaller por-
tion of the decal backing paper and apply this part of
the exposed adhesive backing to the clean surface
while maintaining proper position and alignment.
Slowly peel off the other portion of the backing paper
while applying hand pressure to smooth out decal sur-
face. To apply a masked decal, first remove the back-
ing paper. Then, properly orient and position the decal
onto the clean mounting surface. After the decal is
firmly applied and smoothly pressed down, remove
the front covering paper.

ing, BE SURE that all applicable decals are
