Dear Customer,
If you have any questions

concerning the installation of

your Banks Power system, please

call our Technical Service Hotline

at (888) 839-2700 between 7:00

am and 5:00 pm (PT). If you have

any questions relating to shipping

or billing, please contact our

Customer Service Department at

(888) 839-5600.
Thank you.

1.

For ease of installation of your

Banks Stinger-Plus, or PowerPack

system, familiarize yourself with the

procedure by reading the entire manual

before starting work. This instruction

manual contains 26 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.

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.

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.

6.

During installation, keep your work

area and components clean to avoid

possible dirt entry into the engine.

7.

For proper performance from

your Banks PowerPack components

and to prevent engine damage, it

is essential that your engine’s fuel

system be capable of delivering fuel

at the factory’s specification. We have

often found vehicles with inadequate

low pressure side fuel delivery that

isn’t apparent until performance

modifications are made. It is very

important that the following fuel

system components are checked for

proper operation before completing

the installation.
Notification

The Banks Ram-Air Filter comes

pre-oiled and no oiling is necessary

for initial installation. Service the

filter as specified in the Filter

Maintenance Section of this

manual.
