enters the restrictive red zone. See
Figure 54.
2. Use Banks Ram Air Filter cleaning
system (part # 90094), available from

the Air Filter. Follow the instructions
included with the cleaning system
to clean and re-oil your Banks Ram

the element’s clean side might
be required. Completely service

protection use an air-filter sealing
grease on rubber ends of the
element. Service only with Banks
