11. FINAL CHECK

If your vehicle has gone over 30,000 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 is
filled with 91 octane or higher fuel before
commencing test drive.

Start the 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. Look also for any
signs of fluid leakage.

PLEASE TAKE SPECIAL NOTE: Operating the vehicle
without ALL of 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.

WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the vehicle
until all components are installed and all operations
are completed including the 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 shipping plug with the supplied vented
plug. Do not operate the supercharger without it. Check the
supercharger fluid level using the dipstick as follows:

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 every 7,500
miles maximum thereafter.

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 fluid other than the special
Vortech lubricant will void the warranty and may
cause component failure
