Decal Replacement - Polaris Ranger 500 2x4 2007 Service Manual

DECAL REPLACEMENT

Plastic polyethylene material must be "flame treated" prior to
installing a decal to ensure good adhesion. The flame treating
procedure can often be used to reduce or eliminate the whitish
stress marks that are sometimes left after a fender or cab is bent,
flexed, or damaged.
WARNING
The following procedure involves the use of an
open flame. Perform this procedure in a well
ventilated area, away from gasoline or other
flammable materials.
Be sure the area to be flame treated is clean and
free of gasoline or flammable residue.
BODY / STEERING / SUSPENSION
To flame treat the decal area:
1. Pass the flame of a propane torch back and forth quickly
over the area where the decal is to be applied until the
surface appears slightly glossy. This should occur after just
a few seconds of flame treating. Do not hold the torch too
close to the surface. Keep the torch moving to prevent
damage.
2. Apply the decal.
NOTE: Refer to your parts manual for decal part
number.
