Key Points 

For best performance and durability please follow the key points stated below: 

 

Prior to initial start-up make sure to prime the supercharger oil system (see 

page 9). Failure to do so may result in severe damage. 

 

The oil used must be special Rotrex traction fluid. 

 

The Rotrex supercharger can only be operated in one rotational direction. 

Never turn the pulley in the incorrect direction by hand or otherwise. For your 

unit, please find the correct rotational direction in the technical datasheet found 

on 

rotrex.com

 

 

Do not try to change the compressor setup. The outlet direction of the 

compressor house is pre-set by your dealer to fit the kit setup. Changing this 

setup must only be done by authorized personnel. Contact your Rotrex dealer 

if you encounter problems with the setup. 

 

To avoid engine damage: make sure to run the appropriate fuel grade (octane). 

If any sign of knocking is detected immediately discontinue running the engine 

under boost conditions until the problem has been solved. 

 

It is important to place the Rotrex supercharger as the highest component in 

the system (s/c and oil system, see page 5) and with the flat surface of the 

supercharger facing downwards /- 15º to horizontal. 

 

Check the supercharger oil level after initial start-up. Always follow the correct 

procedure for oil level check (see page 10) 

 

To secure optimal oil conditions: Do not modify or change the oil circuit 

supplied with your kit. 

 

Always respect the oil and filter change interval and procedure (see page 11) 

 

Always follow the correct pulley ring changing procedure (see page 12). 

 

Always take care not to over tighten the supercharger bracket and banjo bolts 

as this will strip the threads. Follow the torque specified in your kit installation 

instructions or download the datasheet available at 

rotrex.com
