Notification
The Banks Ram-Air Filter comes
pre-oiled and no oiling is necessary
for initial installation.
Use Banks
Ram-Air Filter cleaning system
(part #90094), available from Gale
Banks Engineering to service the
Air Filter. Follow the instructions
included with the cleaning system
to clean and re-oil your Banks
Ram-Air Filter.
1. PRE-CLEANING
Tap the element to
dislodge any large
embedded dirt, then
gently brush with a
soft bristle brush.
NOTE: If complete
cleaning is not
practical at this time,
reoil the element and
reinstall in your vehicle.
2. SPRAY-ON CLEANING
Spray Banks air-filter
cleaner liberally onto the
entire element
and let soak
for 10
minutes.
PAN CLEANING
Large air-filter
elements can be
rolled or soaked
in a shallow pan
of Banks air-filter
cleaner. Remove
immediately and
let soak for
approximately 10
minutes.
3. CLEANING HINTS
Use only Banks air-filter cleaner. NO
gasoline cleaning, NO steam cleaning,
NO caustic cleaning solutions, NO
strong detergents, NO high-pressure
car wash, NO parts cleaning solvents.
Any of these NOs can cause harm to
the cotton filter media plus SHRINK and
HARDEN the rubber end caps.
4. RINSE OFF
Rinse off the
element with low-
pressure water.
Tap water is okay.
Always flush from
the clean side to
dirty side. This
removes the dirt
and does not drive
it into the filter.
5. DRYING HINTS
Always dry naturally. After rinsing,
shake off all excess water and let
the element dry naturally. DO NOT
USE COMPRESSED AIR – DO NOT
USE OPEN FLAME – DO NOT USE
HEAT DRYERS! EXCESS HEAT WILL
SHRINK THE COTTON FILTER MEDIA.
COMPRESSED AIR WILL BLOW HOLES IN
THE ELEMENT.
6. AEROSOL OILING
After cleaning air filter always reoil
before using. Spray Banks
Ram-Air filter oil down
into each pleat with
one pass per
pleat. Wait
10 minutes
and re-oil
any white
spots still
showing.
