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.
