1.

For ease of installation of

your Banks Ram-Air Super-Scoop,

familiarize yourself with the procedure

by reading the entire manual before

starting work. This manual contains

14 pages of copy, illustrations and

parts listing. If any pages are missing

from this manual please call Gale

Banks Engineering immediately for a

replacement.

2.

The exploded view of the Ram-Air

Super-Scoop assembly (pages 4-5)

provides only general guidance. Refer

to each step and section diagram in

this manual for proper instruction.

3.

Throughout this manual, the

left side of the vehicle refers to the

driver’s side, and the right-side to the

passenger’s side.

4.

Disconnect the ground cable from

the battery before beginning work. If

there are two batteries, disconnect

both.

5.

Route and tie wires and hoses

a minimum of 6 inches away from

exhaust heat, moving parts and sharp

edges. Clearance of 8 inches or more

is recommended where possible.

6.

During installation, keep the

work area clean. If foreign debris

is transferred to any Banks system

component, clean it thoroughly before

installing.

7.

When raising the vehicle, support

it on properly weight-rated safety

stands, ramps or a commercial hoist.

Follow the manufacturer’s safety

precautions. Take care to balance the

vehicle to prevent it from slipping or

falling. When using ramps, be sure the

front wheels are centered squarely on

the topsides; put the transmission in

park; set the parking brake; and place

blocks behind the rear wheels.
Caution! Do not use floor jacks to

support the vehicle while working

under it. Do not raise the vehicle

onto concrete blocks, masonry

or any other item not intended

specifically for this use.

Warning:

This product is intended

for general highway use. Do not

use this product when fording

streams or crossing bodies of

water. Although this product

is designed to separate water

from entering the engine during

normal highway driving in rainy

conditions, it is not intended to be

submerged under water for any

amount of time. Regularly check

the inlet of the Super-Scoop for

any obstruction or debris that may

impede the flow of air. After the

installation of the Super-Scoop

be aware of the decreased ride

height and drive accordingly

to avoid damage to the Super-

Scoop. Regularly check to make

sure the Super-Scoop is fastened

securely and that all hardware and

fasteners are tight and in good

condition.
