The cover is received around an external drive mechanism and generally overlays the front end of the supercharger. The cover is coupled with the supercharger using a pair of side straps and a connecting buckle. A rear strap is used for attaching the device to the engine or other suitable mount. The cover includes a plurality of holes, wherein bolts are received through the holes and connected to the supercharger for positioning the cover thereon. Additionally, the cover has a plurality of specially designed apertures for accommodating a portable starter, wherein the starter is used to start the engine associated with the supercharger.
