I. Route the toothed belt around the super-
charger pulley.
J. Install the supplied 3/8-16 x 3.25" idler bolt
through two washers, the flanged aluminum
idler and the idler spacer and into the slot in
the top of the supercharger mounting bracket.
(The bearing retainer snap ring on the idler
must be pointing toward the idler spacer.)
Install the supplied nut and washer on the
bolt and tighten until the idler slides up and
down with no play.
K. Press down on the idler until the belt is snug
with minimal free play. It is not necessary to
have the belt tight. Once the vehicle has
been started, as long as the belt does not
move around excessively the belt is tight
enough.
