General Installation Practices
1.
For ease of installation of your
Banks Six-Gun, familiarize yourself with
the procedure by reading the entire
manual before starting work. This
instruction manual contains 28 pages
of text, illustrations and parts listing.
2.
Disconnect the ground cable from the
battery before beginning work. If there
are two batteries, disconnect both.
3.
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.
4.
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; put the transmission in
park; set the hand brake; and place
blocks behind the rear wheels.
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.
5.
The installation should be
performed at a time when the vehicle
has been allowed to completely cool.
This installation requires the installer
to work near surfaces that may remain
hot after the vehicle has been run.
Failure to allow the vehicle to cool
may result in personal injury.
6.
During installation, keep your work
area and components clean to avoid
possible dirt entry into the engine.
7.
Banks recommends that a
Pyrometer (EGT) gauge and a Boost
gauge be installed with the Six-Gun
Diesel Tuner to help monitor
performance and Engine Gas
Temperatures (EGT) of the vehicle (see
part numbers below). To further
increase engine life by lower EGT’s,
Banks also recommends installing the
following airflow improvements:
