GENERAL INSTALLATION PRACTICES
For ease of installation and trouble-free operation of
your Banks PowerPack, PLEASE READ THIS 15-PAGE
OWNER‘S MANUAL. ( If any pages are missing from this
pac kag e, please call GALE BANKS ENGINEERING
immediately for a replacement.) Become thoroughly familiar
with all components and phases of the installation before
starting any work.
Inspect all components supplied for any foreign
material that may have entered during shipping
and handling.
Most motorhomes will need to be raised 5 to 6" in
front to allow the Banks TorqueTubes to be slid into
place from under the vehicle. This can be accomplished by
driving the vehicle upon several sections of 2 x 12 lumber
nailed together to form a wedge. Figure 9 shows how these
ramps may be constructed if you are doing your own
installation.
WARNING: Motorhomes are very heavy. Whatever
methods are used to elevate the vehicle must be of
sufficient capacity for the vehicle weight involved. NEVER
work under any vehicle supported only by a jack of any
kind. DO NOT USE concrete blocks or other masonry
items that may collapse under the vehicle weight.
Pay particular attention to the routing of any wires.
Keep them away from exhaust heat, moving parts
and sharp edges that may cause cuts or other damage. Route
or tie wires away from critical areas as required. Keep all
wires a minimum of 6" from hot exhaust parts, 8" or more is
recommended whenever possible.
A general assembly diagram is provided in addition
to the specific step or section diagrams in the text
( Figure 1 ). The g eneral assembl y diag ram shows
relationships of individual components for reference: however,
numbered step-by-step procedures should be followed for
proper assembly sequence.
Right-hand and left-hand designations refer to the
driver’s right or left, as seated in the vehicle, (i.e.:
Right-hand refers to the passenger side of the vehicle, unless
noted otherwise.)
The Banks Motorhome PowerPack is designed to fit
Class-A 454 Chevrolet engine/chassis combinations.
Because of different equipment layouts used by the various
coach builders, some accessories and components may have
to be relocated to accommodate the air intake components of
the Banks PowerPack.
