4. SUPERChARGER ASSEMBLy PREPARATION

AND INSTALLATION, cont'd

Locate the .875” x 1.928” spacer and M8 x 80mm

hex head screw. Place a 5/16” flat washer on the

screw and pass it through the outer (3/8" thick)

plate and .875” x 1.928” spacer into the threaded

boss on the engine cover in the location furthest

toward the passenger side. Do not tighten at this

time.

Locate the remaining .875” x 2.058” spacer and

M8 x 100mm button head screw. Pass the screw

through the inner (1/4" thick) plate (with no wash-

er) and .875” x 2.058” spacer into the uppermost

engine cover hole from which an OEM screw was

previously removed (2nd hole from the top over-

all). Do not tighten at this time.

2011 MODEL YEAR ONLY: Locate the

.875”/1.25” x 1.782” tapered spacer and M8 x

65mm button head screw. Pass the screw

through the inner plate (with no washer) and the

.875”/1.25” x 1.782” spacer (large end against the

steel plate) and thread it into the corresponding

threaded hole in the engine. Do not tighten at this

time.

Tighten the four (4) idler pulley mounting bolts.

Ensure that the second-highest bolt has the thin

washer (the others have standard-thickness wash-

ers).

Confirm that the four (4) screws and two (2) studs

securing the supercharger assembly to the engine

are properly aligned. Tighten them in progressive

steps in an alternating sequence.

Engine Oil Fed Units Only: Locate the included

length of black braided 1/2" oil drain hose.

Remove the shipping cap from the 1/2" barbed oil

drain fitting on the bottom of the supercharger and

attach the drain hose with the included #8 worm

gear clamp.

Place the supercharger into the cradle of the outer

mounting plate, aligning the five (5) mounting

holes, with the pulley toward the engine and the

discharge pointing straight down. Secure the

supercharger to the plate with five (5) 3/8-16 x

1.25 hex head screws with washers. Route the

braided drain hose (if equipped) directly down-

ward, away from moving parts and sharp edges,

and secure.
