A. Remove the factory installed flat head brass
shipping plug (not the dipstick) from the top of
the supercharger case.
B. Replace the sealed shipping plug with the
supplied “vented” plug. Do not operate the
supercharger without it.
C. Ensure that the .06” copper sealing washer is
located on the dipstick base.
D. Thread the clean dipstick into the supercharg-
er until it seats.
E. Once the dipstick has seated, remove the
dipstick from the unit. Fluid should register in
the crosshatched area on the dipstick.
F. DO NOT OVERFILL!! Drain excess fluid from
the unit if it is above the maximum level on
the dipstick. Install and tighten the dipstick in
the gearcase.
G. If your vehicle has gone over 20,000 miles
since its last spark plug change, it is a good
idea to change the spark plugs now, before
test-driving.
H. Make sure that the vehicle is filled with 91
octane or higher fuel before commencing test
drive.

With key on, make sure charge air cooler
water pump is operating and that water is
flowing through the surge tank. Fill as neces-
sary. If water is not flowing, remove the hose
from the bottom of the surge tank and lower
until water flows out of hose. This should
prime the pump. Reconnect hose, verify
water flow and top off surge tank. Do not run
the water pump for extended periods (30 sec-
onds or more) without water flow.
J. Check all fittings, nuts, bolt and clamps for
tightness.
K. At this point it is OK to start the vehicle.
L. With engine running, check power steering
hose connections for leakage. Let engine run
for two minutes. Turn steering wheel in both
directions.
