GENERAL INSTALLATION PRACTICES
1.
For ease of installation of your Banks Stinger™,
Stinger-Plus™ or PowerPack
®
system, familiarize
yourself with the procedure by reading the entire manual
before starting work.
2.
The exploded views provide 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 cables from the battery (or
batteries, if there are two) before beginning work.
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.
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 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.
7.
During installation, keep the work area clean. If
foreign debris is transferred to any Banks
component, clean it thoroughly before installing.
