DRyING hINTS

shake off all excess water and let the
element dry naturally. DO NOT USE
cOMPRESSED AIR – DO NOT USE OPEN

AeROSOL OILING
After cleaning air filter always reoil
before using. Spray Banks Ram-Air
filter oil down into each pleat with one
pass per pleat. Wait 10 minutes and
re-oil any white spots still showing.
7.
OILING hINTS
Never use a Banks Ram-Air filter
without oil (the filter will not stop the
dirt without the oil). Use only Banks
Ram-Air filter oil. Banks air-filter oil is
a compound of mineral and animal oil
blended with special polymers to form
a very efficient tack barrier. Red dye
is added to show just where you have
applied the oil. Eventually the red color
will fade but the oil will remain and
filter the air. NEVER USE Automatic
Transmission Fluid. NEVER USE Motor
Oil. NEVER USE Diesel Fuel. NEVER USE
WD40, LPS, or other light-weight oils.
8.
ReINSTALL
Reinstall your Banks Ram-Air filter
element with proper care. Make sure
the element seats properly in the filter
case. Install the cover making sure it’s
in the right position. Tighten all the
nuts, bolts, screws or clips to factory
specifications.
9.
DO NOT DISCARD
Affix the “Do Not Discard” sticker to
the filter case (included with every
Banks replacement element). Make
sure you put the sticker in a highly
visible place to alert your mechanic
not to discard.

CAUTION! extremely fine dust from
agriculture or offroad use will pull
the oil from the element. Frequent
reoiling of the element’s clean side
