1.
For ease of installation of
your Banks Ram-Air Super-Scoop,
familiarize yourself with the procedure
by reading the entire manual before
starting work. This manual contains
14 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 Ram-Air
Super-Scoop 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.
Warning:
This product is intended
for general highway use. Do not
use this product when fording
streams or crossing bodies of
water. Although this product
is designed to separate water
from entering the engine during
normal highway driving in rainy
conditions, it is not intended to be
submerged under water for any
amount of time. Regularly check
the inlet of the Super-Scoop for
any obstruction or debris that may
impede the flow of air. After the
installation of the Super-Scoop
be aware of the decreased ride
height and drive accordingly
to avoid damage to the Super-
Scoop. Regularly check to make
sure the Super-Scoop is fastened
securely and that all hardware and
fasteners are tight and in good
condition.
