18. FINAL CHECk
A. Reconnect the battery.
B. If your vehicle has gone over 20,000 miles
since its last spark plug change, you will
need to change the spark plugs now
before test driving the vehicle.
C. 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.
D. Check all fluid levels, making sure that
your tank(s) is/are filled with 91 octane or
higher fuel before commencing test drive.
Turn the ingnition on to cycle the fuel
pump a few times. Check all fuel fittings
for leakage.
E. Start engine and allow to idle a few min-
utes, then shut off.
F. Recheck to be sure that no hoses, wires,
etc. are near exhaust headers or moving
parts and for signs of any fluid leakage.
G. PLEASE TAKE SPECIAL NOTE:
Operating the vehicle without ALL the sub-
assemblies completely and properly
installed may cause FAILURE OF MAJOR
COMPONENTS.
H. Test drive the vehicle.
I. The supercharger belt stretches initially
and will require adjustment in 250 to 400
miles.
J. Periodically, verify that the supercharger
pulley bolt is tight. Also verify that the belt
is not slipping under boost. (Belt slippage
is usually accompanied by a squealing
noise at high RPM and a leveling off or
fluctuating boost pressure. If belt slippage
occurs, tighten tensioner.)
K. Read the Street Supercharger System
Owner's Manual and RETURN THE
Warranty REGISTRATION FORM within
thirty (30) days of purchasing your super-
charger 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 shipping
plug (not the dipstick) from the top of the supercharg-
er case. Replace the sealed shipping plug with the
supplied “vented” plug. Do not operate the super-
charger 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
supercharger unit 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
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.
