Designing and handling interfaces
Please carefully follow this priming procedure:
1.
Carefully fill the oil canister with traction fluid without exceeding the maximum
mark on the dip stick. Make sure the thread of the dip stick cap is fully engaged
when taking the oil level measurement
2.
Loosen the banjo bolt at the oil line attached to the supercharger inlet marked
IN
a couple of turns allowing air to escape the system
3.
Carefully
apply pressurized air to the oil filler hole of
the canister. Do
not
pressurize the system to more
than one bar or 15psi. Use a rag or a sponge as a
seal between the air gun and the canister
4.
When oil appears at the “IN” banjo of the
supercharger, tighten the banjo bolt and the system
is primed
5.
Carefully top up the oil canister to the maximum
mark on the dip stick
6.
Start the engine and rev it to 2-3000 rpm and make sure the oil starts flowing by
visual inspection, looking into the oil canister.
Do not rev the engine more than
specified, as this can cause damage to the supercharger.
Oil flow is established
when the oil level decreases immediately after start-up. Immediately after
starting the engine (within 5 seconds) top up traction fluid before the oil level
reaches the bottom of the canister. Check that the oil level is between the min
and the max indicators on the dipstick while the engine is running at 2-3000 rpm.
Note that this is the correct and only way to check the oil level (checking the oil
level with the system turned off does not give a correct reading).
Remember to check the oil level with the cap thread fully engaged and be careful
not to exceed the maximum marking on the dipstick
7.
Let the engine idle for 5 minutes while checking the oil system for leaks
8.
Check the oil level again using the correct procedure described below
9.
A run-in period of 100 km (65 miles) is highly recommended. During this run-in
period, drive the vehicle moderately and avoid unnecessary revving or heavy
acceleration
Warning: Not following the priming and start-up procedures will cause damage to the
supercharger and the oil system!
To check the oil level, set the engine speed to 2 - 3000 rpm and check the oil level while
the engine is kept running at 2 - 3000 rpm.
The correct oil level is between the min and max indicators on the dipstick measured with
the thread of the cap fully engaged.
Measuring oil level in any other way will not give a
true reading of the oil volume in the system and can lead to overfilling or starvation and
consequent damage, foaming or leaks.
