1.
For ease of installation of your
Banks High-Ram Intake and optional
Banks Boost Tube, Please familiarize
yourself with the procedure by reading
the entire manual 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 negative (ground)
cable from the battery (or batteries, if
there are two) before beginning work.
4.
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.
4.
The installation should be
performed at 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.
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. When raising the front
of the vehicle, put the transmission in
park (automatic) or reverse (manual),
set the parking brake, and block the
rear wheels. When raising the back of
the vehicle, be sure the vehicle is on
level ground and the front wheels are
blocked securely.
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 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.
