1.
For ease of installation of your
Banks extension kit, familiarize
yourself with the procedure by reading
the complete instructions before
starting work.
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.
Disconnect the ground cable from
the battery before beginning work. If
there are two batteries, disconnect
both.
4.
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.
5.
During installation, keep the work
area clean. If foreign debris is
transferred to any Banks system
component, clean it thoroughly before
installing.
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
motorhome 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.
