General Installation Practices

Dear Customer,
If you have any questions

concerning the installation of

your Banks Power System, please

call our Technical Service Hotline

at (888) 839-2700 between 7:00

am and 4:00 pm (PT). If you have

any questions relating to shipping

or billing, please contact our

Customer Service Department at

(888) 839-5600.
Thank you.

1.

Before starting work, familiarize

yourself with the installation procedure

by reading all of the instructions.

2.

The exploded view (Figure 1)

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 negative (ground)

cable from the battery (or batteries, if

there are two) before beginning work.

5.

Route and tie wires and hoses a

minimum of 6” away from exhaust

heat, moving parts and sharp

edges. Clearance of 8” or more is

recommended where possible.

6.

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. When raising the front

of the vehicle, put the transmission in

park, set the parking brake, and block

the rear wheels. When raising the back

of the vehicle, be sure the vehicle is

on level ground and the front wheels

are blocked securely.
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.

7.

During installation, keep the work

area clean. Do not allow anything to

be dropped into intake, exhaust, or

lubrication system components while

performing the installation, as foreign

objects will cause immediate engine

damage upon start-up.
