Air Commander Supercharger

[Gary Lutke]

HOVERCRAFT DEPOT SUPERCHARGER FOR
AIR COMMANDER LIFT ENGINES
While this setup does provide pressurized air to the lift engine it does not boost the pressure to levels a real supercharger would. What it does do is provide low pressure air to the engine there by increasing performance and provides cleaner, drier air. This means better performance and less maintenance.
Since this could change the tuning of the motor (although most of the time it doesn’t) we recommend checking the spark plug color and engine RPM before you begin.
The following are instructions for mounting your Supercharger.

1. Remove the old air filter (And cover)
2. Going straight out from intake side of carburetor measure 4” up from the bottom of the lift duct and mark the point where you will drill the 2.5” hole See Fig. 1
3. Drill the 2.5” hole for air intake tube and then drill ¼” holes for vent tubes See Fig. 1
4. Lightly sand large hole to reduce vibration wear
5. Mount air intake tube by pushing the unit from inside the hull up through the large hole
6. Attach to carburetor and tighten hole clamp
7. Push vent tubes into ¼” hole and route to carburetor and attach to vent nipples. See Fig. 2
8. Secure vent tubes ensuring you do not collapse them See Fig. 1

Test engine operation, you should see a 100 RPM increase.

No Sorry, that is the 570 in the first picture. It is a 4 cylinder radial. lots of power at 2400rpm and super light at 40 #.
The other pictures are of the hirth F33.

Hovercraft maintenance involves several steps to ensure that the craft is in good condition and safe to operate. Here are a few key maintenance tasks:

1. Regular cleaning: Clean the craft's hull, engine, and propeller regularly to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation.
2. Inspection of parts: Check the craft's propellers, skirt, and other critical components for damage and wear and tear, and replace them if necessary.
3. Lubrication: Lubricate all moving parts of the craft, including bearings and linkages, to keep them operating smoothly.
4. Electrical system check: Inspect the electrical system, including the battery, alternator, and wiring, and replace or repair any damaged components.
5. Testing: Regularly test the craft's performance, including its speed, lift, and steering, to ensure that it is operating as intended.

It's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule and procedures to ensure the safety and longevity of the hovercraft.
