Step 2: Check Fit of New Fan Assembly

Hold, or have a friend hold the fan in place while checking for possible obstructions that may interfere with the blades or shroud. It may be necessary to move or tie back small hoses or wires. If the fan does not fit at this point, additional modifications or a different Flex-a-lite fan may be required.

When you have a clear path...

test-fit and check for obstructions.

Step 3: Mount Control Module: (Does not apply to #188)

The fan control module (included) can be mounted to any flat surface near the fan, or can be mounted to the fan shroud. Mark the 2 hole locations on the mounting surface, then drill 3/16" holes and use the self-tapping bolts provided to mount the module.

If necessary, drill two 3/ " holes...

and mount control module in desired location.

Step 4: Wire the fan motors (refer to Wiring Diagram, next page) Does not apply to #188

Using the yellow butt connectors provided, attach a length of the large diameter (10 AWG) red wire to the blue motor wire. Attach a length of the large diameter (10 AWG) black wire to the black motor wire. Once the fan is in place, these will attach to the control module. Tip: Strip an additional 1/8" of insulation from the motor wires and fold them over to increase the thickness of the wire where it will slide into the butt connector. If mounting the control module to the fan shroud, the motor wires can be connected now (see wiring diagram, next page). If mounting the control somewhere else in the engine compartment, leave enough wire to reach the control module, but do not connect yet.
