Reconnect the battery.

If your vehicle has gone over 10,000

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. (See Fig. 13-a.)

Check all fluid levels, making sure that

your tank(s) is/are filled with 91 octane

or higher fuel before commencing test

drive.

Start engine and allow to idle a few

minutes, then shut off.

Recheck to be sure that no hoses,

wires, etc. are near exhaust headers or

moving parts and for signs of any 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.

14. FINAL CHECk

Fig. 14-a / Final Check

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
shipping plug (not the dipstick) from the top of
the supercharger case. Replace the sealed ship-
ping 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 per-
formed 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 using the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL!!!

WARNING:

Use of any other fluid other
than the special Vortech lu-
bricant will void the warranty
and may cause component
failure.
