General Installation

Practices
1.

For ease of installation of your Banks

TorqueTubes, familiarize yourself with
the procedure by reading the entire
manual before starting work. This
instruction manual contains 8 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 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.
