1. For ease of installation of your
Banks CBC/SmartLock Exhaust Brake
System, familiarize yourself with
the procedure by reading the entire
manual before starting 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. Throughout this manual, the
left side of the vehicle refers to the
driver’s side, and the right side refers
to the passenger’s side of the vehicle.
5. Throughout this manual, major
components of the Banks products are
capitalized to make it easier to identify
them.
6. 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.
7. During installation, keep the
work area clean. If foreign debris
is transferred to any Banks system
component, clean it thoroughly before
installing.
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.
WARNING! The Vacuum Pump

the Pump diaphragm. The Pump
must always be connected to the
Vacuum Solenoid or it’s vacuum
nipple must be plugged. The
