Flex-a-Lite 298 Monster Fan - Manual

Universal brackets...without variable speed control
The brackets provided with this kit are intended to mount the electric fan to the radiator. Due to the number of
variances in specific makes and/or models, additional brackets may be required.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
REMOVE EXISTING FAN & SHROUD ASSEMBLY:
1. Remove plastic radiator cover, and top half of fan shroud (some shrouds are a single piece).
2. Remove fan and clutch assembly. If clutch is mounted to pulley with four bolts, remove nuts, remove clutch/
fan assembly and replace nuts. The clutch may be mounted by a large single nut. It may be possible to
remove this clutch by fitting a large wrench to the nut. Put a rag over the fan to keep from being cut. Hold the
fan in place and pull the wrench in the direction of rotation. It may help to give the end of the wrench a sharp
strike from a soft-blow hammer to break the nut free without the pulley slipping.
3. Remove the lower shroud.
ASSEMBLE ELECTRIC FAN ASSEMBLY:
1. Look at the vehicle construction around the radiator for potential mounting points. Mounting points for the fan
serves two purposes; to carry the weight of the fan, and to hold the fan against the radiator core. Cross brac-
es, radiator trays, front facia, and radiator-mounting points are possible mounting points for these brackets.
2. Whenever possible we do not recommend mounting the brackets to the radiator core so that the core carries
the weight of the fan. In some applications this can cause damage to the radiator core.
3. Locate at least four points to mount the fan to the vehicle that will support the weight and secure the fan to the
radiator.
