procedure by reading the
entire manual before starting
work. This manual contains
16 pages of copy, illustrations
and parts listing. If any
pages are missing from this
manual please call Gale Banks
Engineering immediately for a
replacement.

The exploded view of the
PowerPack assembly (pages

guidance. Refer to each step
and section diagram in this
manual for proper instruction.

refers to the driver’s side,
and the right-side to the
passenger’s side.

Banks Power systems
are designed to fit Chevy
8.1L Workhorse Class-A
motorhome chassis. Due to
differences in coach layouts, it
may be necessary to relocate
or modify some coach or
Banks system components to
accommodate installation of
the Banks Power system.
5.
Disconnect the ground
cable from the battery before
beginning work. If there are
two batteries, disconnect
both.
6.
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.
7.
During installation, keep
the work area clean. If foreign
debris is transferred to any
Banks system component,
clean it thoroughly before
installing.
8.
The front of your
motorhome should be raised
a minimum of 5-6 inches
to allow the installation of
Banks TorqueTube ® exhaust
manifolds. If you have access
to a hoist, the vehicle can be
elevated and the front wheels
removed for easiest access.
9.
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 motorhome 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.
