If your vehicle has gone over 15,000 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 min-

utes, 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.

SYSTEM OWNER'S MANUAL AND

RETURN THE WARRANTY REGISTRATION

FORM within thirty (30) days of purchasing

your supercharger system to qualify.

For internally lubricated SL units only

This supercharger has been factory pre-filled with

special Paxton 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 ship-

ping plug (not the dipstick) from the top of the su-

percharger 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 Paxton SL

lubricating fluid, and then confirm proper oil level

using the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL!!!

WARNING: Use of any fluid other than the

special Paxton lubricant will void the war-

ranty and may cause component failure.

WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the

vehicle until all components are installed and

all operations are completed including the final

check.
