specified in this section of the manual.
use Banks ram-air Filter cleaning
system (part #90094), available from
gale Banks engineering to service
the air Filter. Follow the instructions
included with the cleaning system to
clean and re-oil your Banks ram-air
Filter.
1. Pre-cleaning
Tap the element to
dislodge any large
embedded dirt, then
gently brush with a soft
bristle brush. NOTE:
If complete cleaning
is not practical at this
time, reoil the element
and reinstall in your vehicle.
2. SPraY-on cleaning
Spray Banks air-filter cleaner
liberally onto
the entire
element
and let
soak
for 10
minutes.
Pan cleaning
Large air-filter
elements can be
rolled or soaked in
a shallow pan of
Banks air-filter
cleaner. Remove
immediately
and let soak for
approximately 10
minutes.
3. cleaning HintS
Use only Banks air-filter cleaner. No gasoline
cleaning, No steam cleaning, No caustic
cleaning solutions, No strong detergents, No
high-pressure car wash, No parts cleaning
solvents. Any of these Nos can cause harm
to the cotton filter media plus SHRINk and
HARDEN the rubber end caps.
4. rinSe oFF
Rinse off the element
with low-pressure
water. Tap water is
okay. Always flush from
the clean side to dirty side.
This removes the dirt and does
not drive it into the filter.
5. drYing HintS
Always dry naturally. After rinsing, shake
off all excess water and let the element dry
naturally. DO NOT USE cOMPRESSED AIR –
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME – DO NOT USE
HEAT DRYERS!
EXCESS HEAT WILL SHRINK THE COTTON
FILTER MEDIA. cOMPRESSED AIR WILL
BLOW HOLES IN THE ELEMENT.
6. aeroSol oiling
After cleaning air filter always reoil
before using. Spray Banks
Ram-Air filter oil down into
each pleat with
one pass per
pleat. Wait
10 minutes
and re-oil
any white
spots still
showing.
7. oiling HintS
Never use a Banks Ram-Air filter without oil
(the filter will not stop the dirt without the
oil). Use only Banks Ram-Air filter oil. Banks
air-filter oil is a compound of mineral and
animal oil blended with special polymers to
form a very efficient tack barrier. Red dye is
added to show just where you have applied
the oil. Eventually the red color will fade but
the oil will remain and filter the air. NEVER
USE Automatic Transmission Fluid. NEVER
USE Motor Oil. NEVER USE Diesel Fuel.
NEVER USE WD40, LPS, or other light-weight
oils.
8. reinStall
Reinstall your Banks Ram-Air filter element
with proper care. Make sure the element
seats properly in the filter case. Install the
cover making sure it’s in the right position.
Tighten all the nuts, bolts, screws or clips to
factory specifications.
9. do not diScard
Affix the “Do Not Discard” sticker to the filter
case (included with every Banks replacement
element). Make sure you put the sticker in
a highly visible place to alert your mechanic
not to discard.
10. PerFormance HintS
Service every 50-100,000 miles on street-
driven applications. Service more often
in offroad or heavy-dust conditions. If an
air-filter restriction gauge is installed, then
change the element when the air-filter
restriction reaches 18”/H2O.
caution! Extremely fine dust from
agriculture or offroad use will pull
the oil from the element. Frequent
reoiling of the element’s clean side
might be required. Completely
service when practicable. For extra
protection use an air-filter sealing
grease on rubber ends of the
element. Service only with Banks
air-filter cleaner and Banks air-filter
oil.
