Install a new exhaust valve
spring into the tool and compress the
spring using the same procedure
outlined in Step 12.

the plastic handle from the valve
spring compressor and rotate the
shaft with a wrench.
Testing
It is essential that the following test
be performed before you test-drive
your vehicle.
Start the engine and turn the power
switch to the ON position. Depress
the accelerator pedal to bring the
engine speed to approximately 1200
RPM. This should cause the Banks
Brake to disengage. Releasing the
accelerator pedal should cause the
Brake to reactivate. Once the
preceding test has been successfully
completed, the vehicle is ready for a
test drive.
Test Drive
This exercise is to ensure that your
vehicle’s cruise control will disengage
properly after the installation of the
Banks Brake. While driving, turn the
cruise control on and set it at a safe
speed for the conditions. Next, turn
the power switch for the Brake to the
ON position. This should disengage
the cruise control. Now, turn the
power switch for the Brake to the
OFF position and activate the cruise
control again. This time press down
on the vehicle’s brake pedal to
ensure that cruise disengages. Once
the test drive has been successfully
performed, product installation is
complete.
Safety
Caution: Your Banks Brake is not
a substitute for the hydraulic
brakes on your vehicle. The
device will not correct or
compensate for improperly
maintained hydraulic brakes.
Also please be aware that your
Banks Brake is not designed to
be used as a parking brake or to
bring your vehicle to a complete
stop. Your Banks Brake is a
supplementary braking system
designed to help you slow down
or to assist you in maintaining a
more constant speed when
descending a grade. Remember
that the exhaust brake is first
and foremost a safety device and
is most efficient when used to
prevent, rather than correct an
over-speed condition.
Operation/
Driving Tips
Use your Banks Brake to assist in
slowing your vehicle while traveling
down grades. To activate the brake,
turn the switch to the ON position.
With the switch on, the brake will be
active anytime that your foot is not
on the accelerator pedal. Note that
cruise control will be cancelled if it is
active at the time the Banks Brake is
engaged.
When alternating between braking
activity and acceleration, it is good
practice to allow a minimum of one
second to elapse after the brake has
been disabled or the throttle is
applied before reaching full throttle
acceleration. This allows enough time
