16. FINAL CHECK

If your vehicle has gone over 15,000 miles

since its last spark plug change, you will need

to change the spark plugs now before test

driving the vehicle.

Check all fittings, nuts, bolts and clamps for

tightness. Pay particular attention to oil and

fuel lines around moving parts, sharp edges

and exhaust system parts. Make sure all

wires and lines are properly secured with

clamps or tie-wraps.

Check all fluid levels, making sure that your

tank(s) is/are filled with 91 octane or higher

fuel before commencing test drive.

Start the engine and allow to idle a few min-

utes, then shut off.

WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the

vehicle until all components are

installed and all operations are

completed including the final

check.

H.O Charge Cooled Kits Only

NOTE: Check to see that CAC coolant is

flowing through the surge tank. If

coolant is not flowing, remove the

3/4" rubber hose from the side of the

surge tank and apply light suction in

an attempt to pass any trapped air in

the system. Reconnect the hose and

recheck coolant flow.

Recheck to be sure that no hoses, wires, etc.

are near exhaust headers or moving parts.

Look also for any signs of fluid leakage.

PLEASE TAKE SPECIAL NOTE: Operating

the vehicle without ALL the subassemblies

completely and properly installed may cause

FAILURE OF MAJOR COMPONENTS.

Test drive the vehicle.

Always listen carefully for engine detonation.

Discontinue heavy throttle usage if detonation

is heard.

STREET SUPERCHARGER

SYSTEM OWNER'S MANUAL AND RETURN

THE WARRANTY REGISTRATION FORM

within thirty (30) days of purchasing your

supercharger system to qualify.

For internally lubricated V3 units only

This supercharger has been factory pre-filled with

special Vortech synthetic lubricant. Oil does not

need to be added to a brand new unit; however a

fluid level check should be performed.
Prior to operating the supercharger on the vehicle

and after installation onto the vehicle:
Remove the factory installed flat-head brass ship-

ping plug (not the dipstick) from the top of the

supercharger case. Replace the sealed shipping

plug with the supplied “vented” plug. Do not operate

the supercharger without it. Check the supercharger

fluid level.

Fluid level checking procedure:

1. Ensure that the .06” copper sealing washer

is located on the dipstick base.
2. Thread the clean dipstick into the unit until

it seats.
3. Once the dipstick has seated, remove the

dipstick from the unit. Fluid should register

in the crosshatched area on the dipstick.
4. DO NOT OVERFILL!!! Drain excess fluid from

the unit if it is above the maximum level on

the dipstick.
Check the fluid level using the dipstick at least every

2,500 miles.
Initial supercharger fluid change must be performed

at 2,500 miles. The supercharger fluid must be

changed at least every 7,500 miles.
Drain the fluid, refill the unit with 4 oz. of Vortech V3

lubricating fluid and then confirm proper oil level us-

ing the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL!!!

WARNING:

Use of any other fluid other

than the special Vortech lubri-

cant will void the warranty and

may cause component failure.
