1. For ease of installation
of your Banks system,
familiarize yourself with the
procedure by reading the
entire manual before starting
work.
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 (or
batteries, if there are two)
before beginning work.
4. Route and tie wires and
hoses a minimum of 6”
away from exhaust heat,
moving parts and sharp
edges. Clearance of 8” 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
the work area clean. Do
not allow anything to be
dropped into intake, exhaust,
or lubrication system
components while performing
the installation, as foreign
objects will cause immediate
turbocharger and/or engine
damage upon start-up.
