leftside of the motorhomerefers 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 maybe
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.
NOTE: If installing the Stinger
system proceed to Step 21.
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
motorhomecan 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 motorhomewhile
working under it. Do not raise the
motorhomeonto concrete blocks,
masonry or any other item not
intended specifically for this use.
