Common Cooling Issues This Fan Can Address

• Reversible airflow requirements for push or pull configurations
• Replacement needs for universal electric fan installations

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify available clearance before installation, especially with the 2.75-inch depth and 12-inch diameter. Confirm fan rotation direction and wiring polarity before final mounting, and route the 36-inch harness away from heat sources and moving components. Because this is a universal electric fan kit, confirm the vehicle-specific mounting location and airflow path before installation.
