The banks ram-air Filter
comes pre-oiled and no
oiling is necessary for initial
installation. use banks ram-air
Filter cleaning system (part#
90094), available from gale
banks engineering to service
the air Filter. Follow the
instructions included with the
cleaning system to clean and
re-oil your banks ram-air Filter.
1. PRE-
CLEANING
Tap the element
to dislodge any
large embedded
dirt, then gently
brush with a soft
bristle brush.
NOTE: If complete
cleaning is not practical at this
time, reoil the element and
reinstall in your vehicle.
2. SPRAy-oN CLEANING
Spray Banks air-filter cleaner
liberally onto the entire
element and let
soak for 10
minutes.
PAN
CLEANING
Large
air-filter
elements can
be rolled or
soaked in a
shallow pan
of Banks air-
filter cleaner.
Remove
immediately and let soak for
approximately 10 minutes.
3. CLEANING hINtS
Use only Banks air-filter
cleaner. No gasoline cleaning,
No steam cleaning, No caustic
cleaning solutions, No strong
detergents, No high-pressure
car wash, No parts cleaning
solvents. Any of these No’s
can cause harm to the cotton
filter media plus SHRINK and
HARDEN the rubber end caps.
4. RINSE off
Rinse off the element with
low-pressure water. Tap water
is okay. Always flush from the
clean side to dirty side. This
removes the dirt and does not
drive it into the filter.
5. dRyING hINtS
always dry naturally. after
rinsing, shake off all excess
water and let the element
dry naturally. DO NOT USE
cOMPRESSED aIR – DO
NOT USE OPEN FLAME – DO
NOT USE HEAT DRYERS!
EXCESS HEAT WILL SHRINK
THE COTTON FILTER MEDIA.
cOMPRESSED aIR WILL BLOW
HOLES IN THE ELEMENT.
6. 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.
10. PERfoRMANCE hINtS
Service every 50-100,000
miles on street-driven
applications. Service more
often in offroad or heavy-
dust conditions. If an air-filter
restriction gauge is installed,
then change the element
when the air-filter restriction
reaches 18”–H2O.
CauTion! extremely fine dust
from agriculture or offroad
use will pull the oil from the
element. Frequent reoiling of
the element’s clean side might
be required. Completely service
when practicable. For extra
protection use an air-filter
sealing grease on rubber ends
of the element. service only
with banks air-filter cleaner
and banks air-filter oil.
