General Installation
Practices
1.
For ease of installation of your
Banks Brake, please read this 20-
page Owner’s Manual before starting
any work. Become thoroughly
familiar with all components and
phases of the installation before
beginning any work.
2.
Inspect all components supplied
for any foreign material that may
have entered during shipping and
handling.
3.
The installation should be
performed at a 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.
4
. Pay particular attention to the
routing of wires. Keep them away
from exhaust heat, moving parts and
sharp edges that may cause damage.
Route or tie away from critical areas
as required. Keep all wires a
minimum of 6" from hot exhaust
parts, 8" or more is recommended
whenever possible.
Warning! Never work under any
vehicle supported only by a jack
of any kind. DO NOT USE concrete
blocks or other masonry items
that may collapse under the
vehicle weight.
NOTE: If the vehicle has had the Banks
Monster exhaust system P/N 48628,
48629 and 48630 (without a 4-bolt
gasket flange) previously installed, it
will be necessary to use the optional
Banks Flange Adapter Kit (P/N 55246)
to install the Banks Brake.
