16. FINAL CHECK
A. 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.
B. 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.
C. Check all fluid levels, making sure that your
tank(s) is/are filled with 91 octane or higher
fuel before commencing test drive.
D. Start the engine and allow to idle a few min-
utes, then shut off.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the
vehicle until all components are
installed and all operations are
completed including the final
check.
H.O Charge Cooled Kits Only
NOTE: Check to see that CAC coolant is
flowing through the surge tank. If
coolant is not flowing, remove the
3/4" rubber hose from the side of the
surge tank and apply light suction in
an attempt to pass any trapped air in
the system. Reconnect the hose and
recheck coolant flow.
E. Recheck to be sure that no hoses, wires, etc.
are near exhaust headers or moving parts.
Look also for any signs of fluid leakage.
F. PLEASE TAKE SPECIAL NOTE: Operating
the vehicle without ALL the subassemblies
completely and properly installed may cause
FAILURE OF MAJOR COMPONENTS.
G. Test drive the vehicle.
H. Always listen carefully for engine detonation.
Discontinue heavy throttle usage if detonation
is heard.
I. Read the STREET SUPERCHARGER
SYSTEM OWNER'S MANUAL AND RETURN
THE WARRANTY REGISTRATION FORM
within thirty (30) days of purchasing your
supercharger system to qualify.
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 ship-
ping 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.
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 at least every 7,500 miles.
Drain the fluid, refill the unit with 4 oz. of Vortech V3
lubricating fluid and then confirm proper oil level us-
ing the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL!!!
WARNING: Use of any other fluid other
than the special Vortech lubri-
cant will void the warranty and
may cause component failure.
