Through Core Mounting Instructions
(SEE DIAGRAM “A”)
1.Position the electric fan against the back of the radia­tor, and mark the holes for mounting.(
tions may have A/C condensers and/or transmission coolers on the front of the radiator. Additional adjust­ments or modifications may be necessary for installa­tion
)
2. Rotate fan blades to make sure they are free of ob­structions.
3. With a small phillips screwdriver pass through the marked holes, carefully spread the fins to allow easy passage for the nylon bolts (
for the double fan unit
then twist the bolts through the radiator.
4. Slide the rubber washer, then the nylon washer onto the nylon bolt and finger tighten nylon nuts until snug.
5. Once again, rotate fan blades to insure that they are free of obstruction.

1. Attach frame mounting brackets to fan using nylon bolts, cut them to 1", use nylon nuts to secure.
2. Position fan to desired location, mark holes on radiator channels or frame.
3. Rotate fan blades to insure that they are free of obstruction.
4. On the marked hole locations drill 13/64" holes.
5. Secure the fan to radiator using the provided 1/4" x 1" self tapping screws.
6. Check fan rotation.

Fan Wiring Instructions
Step 1: Locate mounting point for control
Locate a mounting point for control near inlet side of radiator. Control needs to be placed within 18" of radiator inlet hose. You may want to mount next to radiator on fender well. Mount control using screws provided.
Step 2: Wire the fan motors (refer to Wiring Diagram, below)
Using the bullet connectors provided, attach a length of the large diameter (12 AWG)
white
motor wires at the fan. Once the fan is in place, these will attach to the control module. If mounting the control somewhere in the engine compartment, leave enough wire to reach the control module, but do not connect yet.

Step 3: Connect the motor wires to the control module (Red wire to the "M+" terminal and black wire to the "M-" terminal).
Step 4: Disconnect the negative battery lead for safety while finishing the wiring. Use the large diameter red wire to run power directly from the battery positive (+) terminal to the "B" terminal on the control module. Connect the fuse holder in-line with this wire, as shown, but do not insert the fuse yet. Use the blue female, ring, and butt connectors provided.
Step 5: Use the large diameter black (12 AWG) wire to run from the negative (-) battery terminal to the "G" terminal on the control module. Use the blue female connector and ring connector provided.
Step 6: Use the small diameter red wire (14 AWG) to connect the "+" terminal on the control module to a positive power source.

Step 7: (Optional) For air conditioning control (if desired) connect the "C" terminal on the control module to the AWG) wire. Using a voltmeter, determine which wire coming from the compressor is the trigger wire. Use the 3-way connector (included) to tap into this wire and send a signal to the fan control module. The fan will cycle on and off with the A/C clutch when the A/C is turned on.

Step 8: (Optional) For manual switch operation, use Flex-a-lite p/n 31148. Connect the switch as shown on the wiring diagram (previous page). Connect the "M" terminal on the control module to the "1" terminal on the switch. Connect the "2" terminal on the switch to a positive 12v power source. Connect terminal "3" on the switch to a good ground (for switch illumination).
NOTE: To prevent thermostatic activation (if only manual switch operation is desired), omit the lead to the "+" terminal of the control box. "B", "G", "M+" and "M-" must remain connected. If not using a Flex-a-lite manual switch, do not connect a ground wire to the switch!
Step 9: Use the zip ties provided to secure the wires and prevent them from interfering with fan
blades, belts, and pulleys in the engine compartment. Reconnect the battery and insert the fuse provided.
Step 10: Insert the temperature probe into the radiator fins
Install temp. probe near inlet hose...
then replace the insulator cap.
Locate the inlet hose from the engine to the radiator. Remove the black insulator cap and insert the temp. probe through the radiator fins near the inlet hose. Reinstall the black insulator cap.
Step 11: Adjust the temperature control knob on the control box
If you disconnected any hoses or drained coolant to install the fan, reconnect the hoses and refill the radiator. Press the control knob (included in wiring kit) onto the control box shaft. Turn the knob clockwise until it stops. Start the engine and allow it to idle. Using a hand held thermometer (posi­tioned near the inlet hose) or the vehicle's temperature guage, monitor the temperature. When the coolant temp. is slightly above normal (or desired temp.), turn the knob counter-clockwise just until the fan turns on. From now on, the fan should activate at this temperature setting. Adjust as neces­sary to maintain desired temperature.
