1. For ease of installation of your
Banks Ram-air intake system,
familiarize yourself with the procedure
by reading the entire manual before
starting work.
2. The exploded view of the Ram-Air
assembly (pages 4-5) provides only
general guidance. Refer to each step
and section diagram in this manual for
proper instruction.
3. Throughout this manual, the
left side of the vehicle refers to the
driver’s side, and the right-side to the
passenger’s side.
4. Disconnect the ground cable from
the battery before beginning work. If
there are two batteries, disconnect
both.
5. 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.
6. During installation, keep the
work area clean. If foreign debris
is transferred to any Banks system
component, clean it thoroughly before
installing.
7. 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 parking 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.
