Installation Instructions

Always wear safety glasses during the installation process. Disconnect the ba9ery before starting

1. This electric fan is puller-only and is not reversible. It is designed to be installed on the engine side of the radiator. Make sure you have enough clearance with the engine pulley system. This fan can be used as the primary cooling fan, or as an auxiliary fan in conjunction with the belt-driven fan.
2. Place the fan on a flat surface with the blades facing downward. Insert the four (4) 90-degree mounting feet in an X-shape into the equally spaced slots around the perimeter of the fan shroud so they meet the flat surface. Regardless, if you attach the fan directly to your radiator core, or a shroud, you will use these 4 mouthing points.
3. Mounting Options: 1. Shroud – if mounting to a shroud, use the supplied screws/nuts/bolts from the shroud manufacturer, or purchase from the local hardware store. Skip to Figure 1 for wiring instructions. 2. Directly to radiator – if mounting directly to the radiator use the supplied hardware and follow the steps below:
   • a. Directly to Radiator Core. Place the fan assembly on the inside (engine side) and position in the center of the radiator, mark 4 mounting locations, and remove the fan.
   • b. Take two (2) mounting ties and (2) cushion pads, and thread the cushion pads down the mounting ties. Then thread the long end of the mounting tie through the upper two mounting feet of the electric fan.
   • c. Carefully thread the long end of the upper two mounting ties through the fins of the radiator, so they protrude out from the front of the radiator.
   • d. Thread a cushion pad onto each mounting tie so that it is against the radiator core.
   • e. Lastly, take the mounting tie locks and slide them down the mounting ties until the electric fan is held snuggly against the radiator core. Trim any extra mounting tie that protrudes from the mounting tie lock.
   • f. Repeat the same procedure for the bottom two mounting locations.
4. Wiring the fan: Disconnect (-) battery cable before connecting 12-volt electrical power to the fan motor.
   • Caution: ECM (Electronic Control Module) equipped vehicles. When removing or connecting the battery cable terminal, use care to avoid intermittent contact (arching or sparking) between the battery post or battery mounting surface and the terminal end. This generates voltage spikes that can damage the electronic control module components or memory circuits.
5. For correct wiring information, see Figure 1.

Wiring Legend
