Step 1: Remove Existing Fan & Shroud
Separate radiator overflow bottle from shroud and set aside. This will be installed with a new
shroud.
171/2"
213/8"
41/8" DEPTH
Must ang 5.0
Step 2: Mount overflow bottle
Mount bracket number 35234 to left side of shroud.
Step 3: Mount bottom brackets
Mount spacer and bottom bracket number 35235 to the bottom of the shroud. Leave brackets loose for
adjustment. Use the 2 long hex head screws provided.
Step 4: Mount top bracket with inserts
Mount bracket number 35233 to top of shroud.
Step 5: Mount top bracket
Mount top bracket number 35232 to inserts of bracket 35233.
Leave loose for adjustment.
Step 6: Locate mounting point for control
Locate a mounting point for control near passenger side of radiator.
Control needs to be placed within 18" of radiator inlet hose on
passenger side. You may want to mount next to radiator on
fender well or the corner of the fan shroud. Mount control using
screws provided
Step 7: Wire fan
Route motor wires through shroud, you may drill a 1/4" hole
and pass the wires through.
Step 8: Mount fan assembly
Mount fan assembly and tighten brackets. Adjust brackets to seal shroud to radiator core.
Put the fan into place. Before tightening the
brackets, adjust the fan so that the rubber
seal is contacting the radiator core and
compress the seal about 50%. It may help
to have a friend hold the fan against the
core while tightening brackets.

supplied wire...
Large dia. red wire
Blue motor wire
Step 10: Wire the fan motors (refer to Wiring Diagram, below)
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.
Step 9: Mount overflow bottle
Mount overflow bottle to bracket using bolts and large washers provided.
Step 11: Wire the control module
11a. Connect the motor wires to the control module
(Red wire to the "M+" terminal and black wire to the "M-" terminal).
11b. Disconnect the negative battery lead for safety while finishing the wiring. Use the large diameter red (10 AWG) 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 yellow female, ring, and butt connectors provided.
