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 re-oil
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.

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”/H
2
O.
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.
