: 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 air-filter cleaner
and air-filter oil.
DRY FILTER CLEANING
Clean every 50-100,000 miles on
street-driven applications. Clean
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

1.
PRE-CLEANING
Carefully tap the air filter element to
dislodge any large embedded dirt or
debris.
2.
CLEANING
Spray an appropriate DRY AIR-FILTER
CLEANER SOLUTION liberally onto both
sides of the entire filter element with
the majority applied to the dirty side.
Soak for 10 minutes. Do not allow the
DRY AIR-FILTER CLEANER SOLUTION to
dry on the air filter.
: NEVER use gasoline,
steam, caustic solutions, strong de-
tergents, high-pressure nozzles, or
cleaning solvents to clean the filter
element.
All of these can cause harm
to the filter media as well as SHRINK and
HARDEN the rubber end caps.
3.
RINSING
Rinse the filter element with cool or
warm (not hot) water from the clean
side out in order to flush the dirt out
of the filter. It may be necessary to use
your fingers on the hose to apply light
water pressure. Repeat steps 2 and
3, until the water flowing through the
media is completely clear of any dirt
and debris.
5.
DRYING
After rinsing, gently shake off exces-
sive water and allow to dry naturally.
Re-install the filter onto the intake sys-
tem, airbox or custom assembly once
it is dry or just slightly damp. Follow all
original installation instructions.
6.
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.
7.
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.
8.
