A. Remove the factory installed flat head brass

shipping plug (not the dipstick) from the top of

the supercharger case.

B. Replace the sealed shipping plug with the

supplied “vented” plug. Do not operate the

supercharger without it.

C. Ensure that the .06” copper sealing washer is

located on the dipstick base.

D. Thread the clean dipstick into the supercharg-

er until it seats.

E. Once the dipstick has seated, remove the

dipstick from the unit. Fluid should register in

the crosshatched area on the dipstick.

F. DO NOT OVERFILL!! Drain excess fluid from

the unit if it is above the maximum level on

the dipstick. Install and tighten the dipstick in

the gearcase.

G. If your vehicle has gone over 20,000 miles

since its last spark plug change, it is a good

idea to change the spark plugs now, before

test-driving.

H. Make sure that the vehicle is filled with 91

octane or higher fuel before commencing test

drive.

With key on, make sure charge air cooler

water pump is operating and that water is

flowing through the surge tank. Fill as neces-

sary. If water is not flowing, remove the hose

from the bottom of the surge tank and lower

until water flows out of hose. This should

prime the pump. Reconnect hose, verify

water flow and top off surge tank. Do not run

the water pump for extended periods (30 sec-

onds or more) without water flow.

J. Check all fittings, nuts, bolt and clamps for

tightness.

K. At this point it is OK to start the vehicle.

L. With engine running, check power steering

hose connections for leakage. Let engine run

for two minutes. Turn steering wheel in both

directions.

nents are installed and ALL operations are completed includ-
