Through Core Mounting Instructions
(SEE DIAGRAM “A”)
1 . Position the electric fan against the radiator, and mark
mounting hole locations.

holes, carefully spreading the fins to allow easy pas-
sage for the nylon bolts. Pass the bolts through the
shroud holes in the radiator.
3. Push on the speed nuts until snug.
4. Cut off the end of the mounting bolts, leaving
1/4” remaining.
Pusher Mode Through Core Mounting Instructions
1. Remove the blade retaining clip using a flat head screwdriver. Remove the
retaining clip by sliding the clip free of the motor shaft slot.
2. Remove a pentagon drive washer (1ea.) and fan blade from motor shaft.
3. Flip over blade and place back onto motor shaft. Make sure the flat on the motor shaft is aligned with the flat
on the blade.
4. Reinstall the pentagon drive washer, and blade clip. Make sure the drive washers are seated completely so
they sit flat in the blade. Make sure the blade clip is fully seated back into motor shaft slot.
5. Proceed with instruction above. Note: some vehicles have a/c condensers or transmission coolers mounted
in front of the radiator. Modifications may be necessary to accommodate the fan.
Note: Fans shipped in Puller mode. If you are mounting as a pusher, you need to flip fan
blade over.
