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 supercharger 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.

I. With key on, make sure charge air cooler water pump

is operating and that water is flowing through the

surge tank. Fill as necessary. 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 seconds or more) without

water flow.

J. Check all fittings, nuts, bolt and clamps for tight-

ness.

K. At this point it is OK to start the vehicle.

L. With engine running, check power steering hose con-

nections for leakage. Let engine run for two minutes.

Turn steering wheel in both directions.
