18. FINAL CHECk

Reconnect the battery.

If your vehicle has gone over 20,000 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.

Turn the ingnition on to cycle the fuel

pump a few times. Check all fuel fittings

for leakage.

Start engine and allow to idle a few min-

utes, 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.

G. PLEASE TAKE SPECIAL NOTE:

Operating the vehicle without ALL the sub-

assemblies completely and properly

installed may cause FAILURE OF MAJOR

COMPONENTS.

Test drive the vehicle.

The supercharger belt stretches initially

and will require adjustment in 250 to 400

miles.

Periodically, verify that the supercharger

pulley bolt is tight. Also verify that the belt

is not slipping under boost. (Belt slippage

is usually accompanied by a squealing

noise at high RPM and a leveling off or

fluctuating boost pressure. If belt slippage

occurs, tighten tensioner.)

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 supercharg-

er case. Replace the sealed shipping plug with the

supplied “vented” plug. Do not operate the super-

charger 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

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

the dipstick from the unit. Fluid should

dipstick.
4. DO NOT OVERFILL!!! Drain excess fluid

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.
