Dear Customer,

concerning the installation of
your Banks Power System, please
call our Technical Service Hotline
at (888) 839-2700 between 7:00

any questions relating to shipping
or billing, please contact our
Customer Service Department at

Thank you.
1.
For ease of installation of your
Banks system, familiarize yourself with
the procedure by reading the entire
manual before starting work.
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 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; 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.
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.
8.
The Dual Exhaust System is
designed to accommodate the factory-
sized spare tire. If the spare tire is
oversized, it may need to be removed.
9.
The tip is located for single rear-
wheel applications. Installation on
dually systems is not recommended.
