GENERAL INSTALLATION PRACTICES

1.

For ease of installation of your Banks Stinger™,

Stinger-Plus™ or PowerPack

®

system, familiarize

yourself with the procedure by reading the entire manual

before starting work.

2.

The exploded views provide 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 cables from the battery (or

batteries, if there are two) before beginning work.

5.

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.

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. If

foreign debris is transferred to any Banks

component, clean it thoroughly before installing.

Notification
The Banks Ram-Air Filter comes pre-oiled and no

oiling is necessary for initial installation. Service

the filter as specified in the Oiling and Cleaning
