PREPARATION AND PRECAUTIONS
1.
For ease of installation of your banks system,
familiarize yourself with the procedure by reading
the entire manual before starting work. This instruction
manual contains 20 pages of text, illustrations and parts
listing.
2.
Throughout this manual, the left-side of the vehicle
refers to the driver’s side, and the right-side to the
passenger’s side.
3.
This banks system is designed to fit class-a
cummins b5.9l powered pusher motorhomes with
horsepower ratings of 190, 210 or 230 hp. For further
identification check the cpl number on the engine
information tag located on the timing cover. This manual
applies to cpl’s 0987, 1261, 1552 and 1553.
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
powerpack component, clean it thoroughly before
installing. cleanliness is also important on and around the
engine. because diesel pushers tend to gather a large
amount of grease and dirt in the engine compartment,
steam cleaning or pressure washing the engine prior to
the stinger installation is recommended. use an engine
degreaser on and around the injection pump cover and
the injector line fittings.
